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

is your truck sportin' some sorta something like that?

 

September 20, 2019.

...Eventually, we found ourselves at the top of Cottonwood Peak. -ish. There are a couple caveats here worth mentioning. First, no road actually went to the top. Second, even the highest point of the road wasn't technically the top of the peak - it skirted along the southwest side by a few hundred feet - both horizontally and vertically.

And that was just fine with Brett - more than fine in fact! He jumped out of his truck and immediately challenged Monte to a race to the top. Of course, Monte being only slightly competitive meant that we really had to twist his arm to get him to accept the challenge.
Right. And on the count of three, they were off.

No sireebob u betcha too gay for my redneck ways

 

yeah, i have no idea how long these clear bra things have been on the market and durability of such
my days are from those old bras aka front end masks or LeBra, that wrap the front but can cause paint damage if not removed and cleaned underneath on a fairly regular basis

 

Ordered tires from 4WP

 

I feel like you told me this already but which ones did you go with?

 

DC Extreme Country’s 33/10.5R15

 

The old ones were better designed, especially the underwire that Lift and Seperate. New ones just mash n flatted but chafe less and the front fastener is always a big plus. No more fumbling round to set them puppies free.Also eliminates the need to install backwards and turn around to face front.

 

Started building the new tire carrier this morning.

 

For a quick sec I thought we were still talking automotive...

***For future reference, pics always help to keep misunderstandings to a minimum.

Hmm interesting

 

Put a switch panel in for future mods with USB ports to replace the 12 volt socket ports. Pretty happy with the way it turned out.

 

What's the red knob thing where the clock once was??

 

Thank you jay! It's a work in progress, has a long way to go but I appreciate it!

 

That’s a vernier style hand throttle that is connected to the gas pedal. I’m actually going to take it out and put it somewhere else and connect it to the throttle body pulley. Not sure where to mount it yet though.

 

see how this stuff goes i suppose...

 

So much access to weld on the frame with the cab off like that.
If I ever tear my truck down that far, I would ...All over that thing.

 

I haven’t tried it, but have you seen that guys will take heat guns and just barely melt the outside of the plastic to give it new shine?
