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

Took a picture of it. Man, impulse red looks like a different color everytime I see it.

 

I made it off your ignore list? Oh man, my day is looking up now .

Thanks for the note about the stake nut, I'll likely take you up on that. Good to have the part number for the future though.

 

yes, thank you

 

From 2 miles out, through a cinder block wall???

Ya, no

 

7mm Rem Mag is the most powerful (commonly used) hunting cartridge used for hunting in North America (close to the same ballistics as 300 Win Mag)

7mm Rem Mag bullet drop at 1000 yards is 236 inches (19.5 feet)... 2 miles is 3520 yards
At only 1000 yards (I use the word "only" loosely... in comparison to 2 miles) the 7mm Rem mag has lost 2/3s of it's energy and over half it's velocity.

There is no way a bullet shot from a hunter's gun went through a cinder block wall at 2 miles. That was a made up story you heard.

 

And just for the sake of popularity, most people are hunting with a less powerful 30-06, .308, .270, .243 etc. I agree, story is BS.

 

Ordered some plasti dip for the truck and wheels. Going to be here in a week or so, so excited for the new color. I probably should start a build thread with all the upcoming plans for the truck.

 

Do it!

It’s always nice to have another NoCo 1st Gen up in here!

 

Huzzah! Yeah it is. I see aloft around and often wonder if I've talked to them on here haha

 

Are you up in FoCo?

 

Nah the smelly cow town to the east

Haha, we have enough Hawaiian exchange students which always made me question how we got involved with Hawaii because we are the exact opposite.

Oh well, Steamboat was fun just spent a week up there last month. Trying to find a way to move there permanently but who has a couple mil just laying around, especially when you have a first gen Taco?

 

Yup, tight.

 

will a front bumper from a '02 Tacoma fit a '97?? I know the grills are different but does that change the actual bumper?

 

I might be interested in a set of those 4 runner wheels. How far is Mission from Austin?

 

Thanks! Those are powdercoated so if you get a set, they wont really look as metallic as mine do. But irregardless, they are still awesome wheels even with the stock finish.

 

No Mtn Dew VooDoo?

 

Someone posted on here abiut some plastic tubs they had in the backseat for organizing rain geaf and camping items. Anyone remember what type those were or who it was, maybe @m3bassman ?
I need to organize all of the test equipment in my work truck and 11x 17 drawings, along with rain gear and other associated work bits.

 

I read somewhere that someone removed the little compartments that the spare tire kit thing goes in, do you know if that’s possible?
