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

Raptor lined & a few other modifications along the way

 

riding season is topless season.



Oh and as much as it pained me I added my first color stickers to the truck. Companies worth supporting IMO.

 

Hahaha likes before lockers! Hahah seee way too many of those these days

 

Version 2 of my Hi-lift mount. Pretty happy with it.

That's dope. I like that.
Did you make those brackets it slides into?

 

I did. Have a neighbor with a cnc plasma table that's been kind enough to let me use it. Really need to get a swag offroad press brake so I don't need to weld the bend seem, it works just doesn't look very professional.

 

Finally took off my topper and installed the bed extender. I'm pleased so far!

 

Id buy a set, that’s kinda how mine is mounted now. Any rattle?

 

I don't think I'd be able to hear it in the cab with the topper and platform. Was considering on installing a grommet for the handle though.

 

If it wasn't such a pain in the ass to remove...

 

Are those custom made bumpers?

 

What’re 4:56 good for

V6 auto

I have 4.56s in my v6 auto DC on 285s, does well, i like em

 

Finished up my valve cover gaskets and new injectors from MotorWest. The intake valves looked pretty good from what i could see. Just under 270k and the old girl still runs great

 

Three items: Cap came off, Tundra front disk brakes, thank you dbturbo at AdventureTaco and I cleaned the MAF sensor. I was skeptical but the drivability is much better.

 

Used it to bring home a new toy:

I'd say it would be worth it if 285's is all a guy plans on running. Provide a stock power feel. Maybe even a bit more pep on the 5-speed.

 

After solos I might get some 34/9.5 boggers

truck will be a mountain truck and probably rarely leave the county after I graduate

 

May as well just wait and go 4.88. A little extra gearing would be nice as a strict mountain rig. Really debating on Solos too since they claim to move that LBJ 1" forward. You would clear those 34's pretty easily and I plan to jump to 35s. Hopefully reducing the amount of tubbing involved.
