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

​

 

Replaced the steering rack, rebooted both CVs, changed the oil, and got an alignment. Should be good to go for death valley trip tomorrow.

 

Me too, I'm surprised how well my old truck has held up.

 

Old

 

You should probably fill up soon.

 

What’s your average miles/year since you started going on there’s long trips

 

thats a good days work!

 

Impressive. Is that 150k in less than 5 years? You'll b out ahead of me (210k) before I wake mine up from hibernation.

 

Put on some 3rd Gen TRD Off-Road wheels.

 

Repainted powder coated these while waiting on supercharger Rebuild

 

It’s a Racor one, picked it up second hand, had some issues with the cable spooling weird, but got it sorted for the most part. I need to get a cheap corded drill to work mine, my cordless gets super hot trying to pull it up

 

Wow haha impressive. When you started in what 2017? It was at like 80k hahaha

 

Yep. Burnt out a porter cable cordless using it, but worked great with a Milwaukee. Again, only problem I had was the cables wanting to unseat the pully's when not loaded. Other than really watching and guiding the cables when not loaded, it worked great.

 

I think I remember when this happened to me

 

Put in 17.073 gallons, 45 miles later.

My mileage log was stolen from the truck in 2011, and I hadn't transferred any data to the spreadsheet since 2003 - though, to be fair, I drove only 22K miles in those 8 years. I put most of the miles on my CBR600F2 during that time.

I was curious about this too, actually. Went back and looked at the various photos I've taken of the ODO, which are only sort of at "normal" intervals. First one was @ 60K in July, 2016. So, not quite 150K in 5 years, but closing in on it. I'll be out ahead of you by Feb is my guess...

Yeah, quite a jump after the "Tour." Guess that means I should blame-thank you for all the money and fuel I've put into this thing.

Don't worry, we all know you're higher, and supercharged forever. But I dunno, maybe counting the ODO past say 489K is a little presumptuous. Just joshing ya, I still have a ways to go to 489K, but I sure hope to hit it!

I'm still on my original clutch, so I figure that's pretty good.

 

Got it dirty, might have to write a trip report eventually.

 

Kansas City has changed so much since I was there…

 

Been a dry summer

 

Need some water? Cuz just north of PNW, there's plenty for all...... except California
