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

I didn’t think finding a bolt big enough to just use would be so hard. Lol I just don’t want the wheel bearings falling apart when I roll the frame to its new parking spot for the foreseeable future

 

Where is it’s new parking spot?

 

Where my Avalon is in the garage so the tundra can fit. Tundras to big for the first bay. 3rd and second bay will fit it. But the Ford Flex is in the 2nd

 

Do you have a write up or photos of what you plan on doing here?
Dual swing out or single?

I have a HC that is very high and want to put together a dual swing out by a local dude (@JimSnell ).

Gotta figure out the swivel location...

 

No, nothing yet, still pretty much in the planning stages. Probably just stick with single.

 

Done... On board air complete.
So glad I did the Viair Pressure Switch/Relay (good call @foxrcing07)

Works like a champ.

 

Did a little painting while I was working on the on board air today






@Fernando

 

did they have a locking fuel door?

 

What color is that on your wheels? Is that like a metallic gray or just black with light hitting it? I really dig that gray color.

 

wowza did i have a mess inside here when i went to fill up @ shell today (put in 17.xx gallons, the most I have ever put it on one fill!)
i hosed my truck off from all the weekend blasting media coating it (used 20 lbs glass bead and 5 quarts of aluminum oxide on the drivers side around the rear wheel)
and I forgot to open fuel tank door and hose inside lol
must've spent 5 minutes before filling up wiping it real good around the filler cap with the station supplied paper towels, could not get the top part clean so stuffed a paper towel into the neck part to wipe all the sand and aluminum oxide that was caked above it so none would find its way into the tank

i did not notice any 'special' cut out hole on the fuel door for anything like this to be added so i dunno, i could contact my salesman for some deets but i recently heard he may have passed on...

 

That is looking sexy bro!

 

Today was a good day... Upgraded my 410s to 456s. Resealed the oil pan, removed the sawy bar and did a lot of greasing and fluid changes.

 

They are gray on the inside.

All three have

 

i have never seen anything like this before!
how does this work?
i can use something like this setup for possible safer working conditions
the glass bead media that slaps me back while lying underneath is gonna get me injured and hurt sooner or later
the local DIY lift rental place in town will not let me do this blasting at his shop because of the mess

 

Haha, this is not as sketchy as it looks. I have heavy duty jack stands on the frame rails the Jack's and tree rounds were just a redundancy. You know to make it extra safe.

 

1st gen Tacoma owners are by far the coolest of the bunch sweet man, little gearing never hurt anyone

 

Thanks, With a 2rz and 265 75 16 I need all the gearing I can get.

 

how do you get it up that high in the first place, and not on solid concrete?
i would like to at least be able to work on my knees deep and under it

 

What a beautiful night to drive 255mi. Stars are out and bright as hell with a partially shrouded moon. New truck is doing nicely on the gas mileage front so far which is pleasing, it's generally a sign of decent health
