Great looking Tacoma. Enjoy!
Consider also 275 70 R17 (32.2"). Fits in the stock spare tire location. Pinch weld mod is the only mod required.

 

Thanks! I appreciate the input. I'll have to consider that since I cant find anyone who willing to sell a Wilco tire gate from their 1st gen

Got bored on Saturday and decided to explore in Ojai, CA. Wow, I was not disappointed! Wish I took more photos of the scenery, but its amazing what you find when you turn down random back roads. So many more trails that I didn't know were there.

Sunday came around and decided to go rip some lips on the lake. Bass were biting all day, almost took the fun out of it. And yes, I'm aware this inst a big bass but it was the first one I caught of the day and the only one I got a picture with.

 

Did my fuel pump, and fuel filter this weekend. Also, changed my oil since fuel pump was a lot easier than I thought it would be. My frame was still covered in mud so I took the pressure washer to it while the bed was off, but didn't get any pics.

 

Replaced my IAC valve, and also cleaned out my throttle body. Trucks running a lot better and holding a steady idle. Also, got my TC spindle gussets in today. Still waiting on a couple more suspension parts to come. In the mean time I might work on some cosmetic stuff while I wait like repainting my fenders.

 

Your frame looks great. Spray it down with some Fluid Film to help protect it..... get the inside sprayer too. Of course it might not be necessary in Cali.

 

Yeah, frame is in great shape. I plan on spraying it just to be on the safe side since I live just minutes from the ocean. I'll probably get to that when I go to put my suspension together. Still have to relocate rear shocks which will require removing the bed again.

 

Plot twist, I bought another first gen and am going to begin my build with that one instead.

So unfortunately, this is the end of the road for this truck.

I'm thankful this truck has treated me well, but its just doesn't have the things I need. It will be going for sale her soon.
