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

The only extra thing I'm going to carry now is Jon's hi lift jack.

Which I would have carried with the topper anyway.

I might carry some u-joints and CVs from now on... if I ever learn how to actually change them out.

 

After a little tune-up, transmission and differential fluids change, new tires, and a thorough cleaning:

 

holy enormous Taco batman!

 

re-torqued my Spidertrax, rotated my tires (man are they loud as f*@k now!!) sanded down and repainted my rear hubs, and discovered a torn CV boot!!

 

Looks steep as hell what kinda lift you running?!?

 

that pic was taken while on jack stands at full droop.. so its not usually that bad

 

Was late to work at got pulled over by a motorcycle cop. Damn. going to court instead of paying. Any tips on trying to talk the judge out of putting it on my record??

 

Over here it costs just as much to take it off your record and even though the points don't get added to your total insurance still shows it as a moving violation. If I ever got another ticket i would just pay it and be done with it. Only if I was borderline losing my license to point accumulation would I ever fight it anymore.

 

I just don't want my insurance to go up because I have two red light ticket points on my license and don't need more. The cop kinda talked me into going to court to try to get it off. I don't know if I go in and say I'm guilty but wanted to see if cannot get points from it? Haha I have no clue

 

Decided to get new corners. Got tired of the "ricer" effect the clear tinted corners gave my truck. Got some eagle eyes corners off ebay. They are good quality and come with new bulbs/sockets. The trim does not match but it doesn't bother me as of right now. I can always paint it later on. Heres a few pics!

 

You "uncleared" your truck? Personally I think clear/red always looks better than ambers but to each their own.

 

sometimes you can plea no contest and not be given any points but it depends on the state..

 

Yeah, I don't get the whole obsession with clear red/tinting. I thinks it's stupid. These are signaling and safety devices. Color and visibility help this purpose.

 

This and they look cheap IMO.

 

x2. when done right, it looks good.

 

not nearly as bad as adding PnP HIDs..

 

You can get a clear look and still have the amber via LED's now. Personally I always felt the amber always threw off the toning on a car and it's also part of the reason why many manufacturers are going away with having ambers on their stock vehicles.

Agreed.

Cleaned up my old bimmer nicely and my taco.







But like I said it's a matter of opinion.

 

did some ole skid plate trimming.

 

Drove my Tacoma to the Goodwill store where I found a pair of Polk Audio 5Jr speakers. Brought them home and they sound awesome with my Harman Kardon amp.
