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

Hahaha.
Bothering you?

Go have a few beers, and relax.
Because my truck was on level concrete in my shop.

 

Safety is probably off too haha

 

I wish I could trust my parking brake to hold the truck, damn things looser than a pair of granny panties.

 

Nope, key was in the ignition.
Forum PoPo need to chill

How about that pistol mount!!!

 

Come to think of it, it wasn't set.
I was playing with two different mounting positions, and right of the e-brake handle was the other one.

Maybe I'll have a few beers!!

 

I will say I did enjoy the extra leg room on my 2nd gen. it had enough room to mount a holster on the drivers side of the console.

 

I thought about mounting it on the drivers side, but it would have been too hokey, and too high up, next to the Transfer Case Lever.

 

It hasn't killed me yet. I have control of my ADD actuator so I rarely drive with the front locked just putting power to the driver axle which has its own quirks with torque steer. I do think the ratcheting when off road is an advantage over a selectable. It allows you to turn easier.

 

I had a custom left hand holster made specifically for that application and it held in place when I flipped the truck.

 

I’ll have to decode when I’m sober

 

I just turn mine off when I wanna turn

 

You have arb ?

 

Yeah I have an ARB up front. Knock on wood, I haven't had the leak issues a lot of other people have. I have seen leaky ARB rears more than I have seen in the fronts. I considered an e locker front but couldn't justify the price tag at the time since I was dropping a ton of money on gears/front locker while saving a ton of money for what would be 2.5 weeks out to Moab and back. I don't regret the ARB.

 

I’m hoping I don’t regret dropping a wod of cash on a front locker. I doubt it

 

Ya so far so good with mine as well. It's been great to me thus far. No regrets or leaks. Hope it stays that way lol

You won't. A front locker can get you to some pretty stupid places that these trucks have no business being in with 33's

 

I don't need any persuading!!
I'm following this subject.

 

Not true...if you get a aftermarket all aluminum radiator with a lower temperature Thermostat, your transmission temperature will run cooler. I have one

 

A heavily loaded adventure rig will still benefit from an external trans cooler.

 

Taking my truck out for the first time since the trans cooler and new alternator installs. liking the lower trans temp and higher charging voltage

 

Never noticed it until now but I agree.
There isn't any stylization (if that is a real word) or details from the front fender back to the rear of the 3rd gen.
It might be the angle of the photo too.
