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

You're going to want to relocate the vent on the valve cover or you will be sending positive pressure in there.

 

@Reh5108 So you just plugged the intake plenum ports and ran the valve cover ports to a catch can/atmosphere?

 

The truck or the bumper?

 

This is the way. Cut it out and replace it.

 

Wow, I dig the purple. Is that a wrap or paint? Also, those Toyota symbols on your wheels are dying to be painted purple to match, imo.

 

Paint. The trucks original color is mystic purple, but the clear coat was coming off horribly. I repainted it with Rustoleum Matte Electric Purple....and yes, that was spray canned. It's going to be a trail truck and I needed something I could touch up easy.

 

Yes

 

Well today I prepared the shop for the weekends activity.





Those who have worked on their stuff in my shop can attest to the fact that I never deep clean it so it was overdue.

This weekend I need to make my tires fit, cause right now well...





So yeah, gonna cut the truck up

 

Meh. Who needs uptravel

what BS are those wheels?

 

Even without uptravel I cant turn at ride height without taking the fender off by force haha. They're 16x8 0mm offset
Smack dab centered

 

I would trade my wife in just to have a garage like that to work in… mine is full of kids crap to the rafters and future projects that I have been volunteered for lol.

 

My loft is full of crap up there too, mostly camping supplies and car parts though.

I'll be sure to post the oh shit no going back moment when there's no passenger floorboard left.

 

Don't forget to get someones face in it!

 

And be sure to stay hydrated.

 

Ah another Hazy IPA guy. I knew I liked you

 

hmmm gonna have all the frame rub. Gonna use spacers or just live with it?

 

Mid travel isn't a permanent situation, if I was sticking with the shorty arms forever I would notch the frame for the tires. But I'll eat the bit of rub and be happy that my tires are totally covered by the fiberglass fenders instead. I took the shock out and went to lock at full bump, the amount of rub is pretty minimal, I think I could get the frame to clear with about a half to three quarter inch rounded indent in it.

 

Hydration is key for sure, I stocked up
