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

previous, aftermarket rims, 30x9.5x15

now with 17" second gen rims, 245/70 17



weight difference is about 18# each.
plan to change to 235/80 17 next

less then 100# total, I'm cool with that.

 

A little bit of everything. Engine build with balance shaft delete, sound proofing whole cab, paint job, complete audio set, and much more. All done by me with trial and error but it was all worth it.

 

IMO cut out pics don't mean a ton in the end when there is hammering and massaging involved in pushing stuff around.



This is my final cut out (far different) and it never rubs.

 

Awesome build. How big a difference did the sound proofing make?

 

Bumped up the fronts to make it level with the back.

 

All that extra effort to keep the clutch usable.

 

Oh? not advanced fiber glass eh? I go those to replace my shattered fiberwerx ones. Always liked the look of them way better and now that the Son is running the company its very reliable.


Also, while tubbing is great. Pending how far out your LT plans are, half of it is worthless after that so even if it rubbed a bit on the inside, LT will solve that issue haha

I think it looks good..

Actually I don't think my wheels are 3.5'' BS.

Still LT pushes any wheel no matter what the BS is way the fuck out there. Fiberglass fenders do not cover them especially with 35s.

 

I installed a President Bill II CB to go with the GMRS radio we already had in place. Nice little CB and it does FM so that's a bonus.

 

Sold the solos and spc control arms and picked up a bunch of icon shit for $180 bucks


Need rebuilt, but damn

 

Noiiice

 

bought new Amazon lug nuts for what Im guessing are called mag wheels, I need what looks like a flat washer and straight shaft and not the acorn style lug nut for these Gen 2 rims

I replaced the starter recently, and fixed my leaking valve covers on my 3.4L, next up is the squeaking fan bracket bearing when I do the timing belt next month.

 

You sold solo Lca and SPC uppers for that?

 

Day Four, on Dusy, was such an adventure... it's gunna take two parts. Here's Day 4 Part 1

I sold those for 1300

 

Anybody had this issue before? Headlight plug/socket is melted/burnt.

 

you sold 1200 LCAs and 500 UCAs for 1300??? Wtf haha

 

I like the sub box. But at the same time, such valuable space gone in the single cab.

 

Joined the Wet Ass club. Wow, they got em done quick, only 6 days! I was expecting them to be 3-4 weeks. I ordered them last Sat, got an email Fri saying they were done. Went & picked them up yesterday. I got them w/ oem style map pockets & sunglasses pockets (not gonna actually put glasses inside them though) on both front seats.

Also swapped the shift knob out for a black one. And fixed my driver side door weatherstrip. Mine surprising hasn't worn though yet but it's been ripped for years. Finally decided to fix it while I had the seats out (not that I needed the seats out to fix it).
