What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Got some long boi shocks from a fellow TW member. Now gotta get em on!!

Anyone wanna buy some King OEM replacements for their rear...huh... huh... anyone... anybody?

 

Must be nice

 

I hope so, once I get them on! Made an expensive mistake that has set me back on this truck by buying the OEM replacement King's instead of something that would allow me to get more than 1.5" in my rear without worrying about blowing the shocks out.

 

Hey guys, I need a full set of security lug nuts for 03 4x4 Tacoma. It has 2016-19 TRD Off Road rims and I'm not sure which will fit. Any links for products will be greatly appreciatted!!!

 

I did a 15piece timing belt this weekend, including a coolant flush and transmission drain and fill. 201k (I believe original belt) also finished my Satoshi grille.

 

I'd suggest buying the crimper and making your own. That way you can make them the exact length you want/need .

This is a good looking Tacoma hombre

 

stupid dealer service departments and their scare tactics to get the TB changed soon or else major engine damage

 

exactly! earlier this year i got a hatch job of a VCG done and they told me its been long time since the TB was changed and needed to do it soon OR ELSE major engine damage!

 

In no time flat, we'd reached the water crossing. And, while I guess it was technically a water crossing, to suggest that it was any kind of trouble - much less the kind that deserved a skull and crossbones on the map - was pushing it.

For good measure, we went through three times. You know, just to make sure we didn't miss anything.

i first had the TB and water pump changed at 92k and that was in 2oo7, i think they (dealer service dept.) were getting at if the belt broke then the engine would be seriously damaged. TW has educated me otherwise

 

Took the fenders off and put some bolts in to fill the square holes. Came out great, a lot better than I expected.

 

have you done a rear seat delete?

 

rear seat delete, take out the rear seats and make more storage units, space, etc.

 

Honestly i’ve really thought about it but its great having the extra seats when my friends and I go to the mountain or the desert because a lot of them have 2 seaters lol. But i probably will do it in the future and build a whole storage setup back there.

 

are you doing the rear seat delete in your 4runner since the cover is not an option for you?

 

cool i like that!

 

Wanna build something similar to this in my back seat eventually when it becomes more of a camping rig than a work truck. I wanna make a drawer system type deal w/ a slide out fridge somewhere in the mix.

 

a true salesmen..lol

 

maybe he could pay you in 'likes' ?
