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

This truck makes me want to do very dumb things

 

going on 40k miles on mine without replacing that bolt. Ooops.

Now you got me worried

 

lol

Well... now that I see you made the same mistake, I'm much less worried.

 

new wheels - 16" Pro Comp MT Look Alikes
new tires - BFG AT 265/70/16
spray-in liner - Rhino
Spacer lift and new 4600's front and procomps rear

 

discovered that the lower BJs on both sides are.. oooziing.


no "clunk" or noise coming from them though.. think they'l hold a while? or should I be replacing these soon?

 

Mine have been oozing for 2 years

No loosness to them at all though.

 

in the process of changing my antenna mount for the CB and started my build thread finally since its windy as all heck and cant do much else.

Check out the Orange Link for info ha ha

 

Same..they are also original with 230k on them hehehe.....soon due for all ball joints and tie rod goodies though.

 

Relocated my turn signals for my new bumper and added some aluminum for a little radiator protection.

Also picked up a set of lightforce 140's and am playing around with where to mount them. What do yall think looks better?

Mine too but i Think i hear a clunk every now and then but idk for sure, cant hear shit went you run your taco with no muffler dumped lol

 

If there's no play in the joint than I wouldn't worry about it. Why replace something that isn't broken. A little grease coming from the boot isn't a big deal.

 

Changed burnt out #74 grain bulbs behind the heater control,,,jeeez. DON"T PUSH HARD ON THOSE BULBS,,or the little pigtail socket will pop out of the heater control area,,and then good luck getting them back in. I bloodied my fingers jamming them into the linkage inside trying to pop that socket back into place so I could push a bulb into it. Disassembled the whole console area and had to loosen the heater control to get the task done.. A few minute job turned into about 2 hrs of fussing with it.

Ordered a new A/C switch because the button on the oem shattered. $33 for that switch. Ironic,,it's 33° outside, but it needed to be fixed. When the little cover button shatters out, you get blinded at night when that sucker is lit.

Oil change, rotate, grease lube, gear lubes, and dogged out the interior.

192,000 on the OEM rear brake shoes,,still look like new. amazing.

 

some progress.

 

Sick!!^^^


Got my dash put back together officially!!

 

got ride height figured out in my SAS project

 

Nice!!!!

 

how is everyone making the cage go through the cab but sealing it up so it doesn't leak?
