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

Anyone have problems with paint peeling/rust on top of the cab

 

Nice! I like it

 

exactly. but it gets old sometimes. and actually my driver side stopped unlocking with the key one time. had to take off the door panel to fix it.

 

I 100% agree with you there, everything used to be simpler. I think it's a conspiracy by car manufacturers to force customers to have their cars worked on at dealers rather than being able to fix them themselves!!

 

Added the bug/ rock guard. I like it so far, hopefully it works as an actual rock and bug guard. I have a couple window chips and can't afford any more

 

Wish i would have had one a long time ago, the front of my hood is all chipped up. One of those things you may not really like but serves its purpose really well.

 

it is. Its a marketing thing. Plus they make products that don't last as long so you have to replace all the time. All about money.

 

Just like second gens they can't check their trans fluid lol. We can idk I'm a stick. Look at all the shit they got in TSBs and Recalls. Even tho he had a massive one but still. All that tech and they'll have issues in the future dumping those things thru water crossings. In the mean time 1st gen chive on

 

And that's why I'll drive my little Jap truck till I die People are fucking greedy and the world is going to hell, IMO of course

 

Retro kit should be here tomorrow so I went ahead and got my lenses off

 

Nice! You gonna BHLM too then?

 

More than likely, yes. The shrouds too. Just going to put everything together like it is to make sure I don't like it unpainted better.

 

Well i have been replacing batterys and fighting with unlocking the doors for years and it drove me crazy, i just happened to be browsing the mods and how too's and i was like cha ching! Lol

 

Got new tires put on her

pickin up some black pro comp 8069's tomorrow. I had plasti dipped the ones that i currently have but plasti dip sux!!

 

Thanks bro. Sliders should b here in about 3 weeks

 

Finished this up yesterday.
882's
Dakar with D6XL
Nitrocharger Sport Shocks
285/75r16 Duratracs

Have TG sliders ready to get welded on next week and have a TG LP front bumper ready to install when I get back from FNH 3 Gun Championship the following week. Waiting for my CBI Outback 1.0 rear bumper with swingout and jerry can holder.

 

Very nice setup. Let me know how that CBI works out. I'm looking at that one as well with the swing out and can holder.

You getting much rub with those 285's?

 

Only rub right now is at full turn to the left on the frame. Its not much and doubt I'll worry about it. It will rub when I take it off-road at the pinch weld. I will be doing the pinch weld mod soon to make sure that doesn't happen.

I should probably start a build thread

 

Truck is looking badass soup! I like what you've done with it so far

 

Grey and black wire on very corner of plug, the wire is wound up among all the others but it only runs about a foot. I just cut the tape around the wires until i could spread them apart and pull the end out.
