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

You act like this is news to you? Haha

We already had this conversation before

I wouldn't say buyers remorse. But when I do have the money and feel that Tim is ready for my order, I'll get an Elite. But for now I'm enjoying my Relentless and can't wait to actually take it off road for the better approach angle.

It's just money anyways, right? Haha

I'll probably sell it for $600 plus shipping and just use whatever pallet the Elite will come on and ship the Relentless through Fastenal.

 

Fixed? You mean the fog light tabs?

 

That's what I thought.. thanks.

 

Yeah, some some parts of the bumper could be a little smoother. I was running out of time that night...

I think the droop is due to my truck. Even when you look at some people that have other plate bumpers, theirs does the similar thing. I think that if I messed with it some more I could get it line up better. It rubs the center of the grill pretty crazy, so it's definitely just the angle in comparison to the truck, not the whole bumper being tweaked.

 

Btw, what length U bolts did you use? I'm thinking of just getting some square ones to put on the springs I got and do the relocation in the summer.

 

Haha yeah. I'll admit I bought that bumper at a terrible time between being in training and my schedule being terrible unpredictable....

Don't worry about the wiring, I literally threw the D2's on in a few minutes just to get them on there. I've still got to wire in the relay box and then clean up all of my wiring with the 100' of techflex loom I bought haha Can't wait to get it all set up

Thanks! When are you going to put some money towards yours!? Stop buying camera junk!

 

I just bought the longest ones they had since they all cost the same haha then I didn't have to worry about getting a right length. Took forever to thread the nuts though. and had to cut a good inch or two off the bolt and you can see how low they still hang haha

 

Nice, wish I had the restraint you do! Haha

I have so many things I want that I can't decide what to do next...

 

I'm not going to make the same mistake everybody else does and buy a house. They always regret it and have to go through the process of renting it out and losing money. Moving ever 2-4 years doesn't go well with buying a house haha

I'll just keep to on base housing with 3 bedrooms and a 2 car garage haha Savings are already happening for the future though. Good chunk of land with my own house some day....

 

Not when you're paying the mortgage, living 20+ hours away, and renting it out to people that decide the say that something is broke and want it fixed now... Just too many horror stories from other people. They're always trying to sell their houses to new people as soon as they show up haha

 

Im with ben I want 10 acres in east tennessee, or maybe north idaho- but dont tell nobody

 

Buying property and buying a house are 2 different things haha

 

I'll just keep adding to my saving and TSP, and when it's time to say goodbye to the military I'll tap into it to go live where I want and get set up.

 

X2. That's my goal this summer. If I wasn't buying a house, I would be getting new tires and a RTT this summer

 

New brake pads

 

FINALLY got around to installing my Redline Tuning Quick Lift Plus that the wife got me for xmas! it was really simple and they work great. Only issue I had was that the bracket for my aux fuse box got in the way when closing soo I clearance it a bit.




Also took advantage of the nice weather and washed the undercarriage and apply a solid coating of Fluid Film... I love that shit!!

 

I took a stone to my windshield resulting in a nice star crack, and my alternator took a shit two hours from home after driving through a small pond imitating a puddle. I should've stayed in bed today.

 

I like it@!

 

Glad to see I'm not the only one. If all goes well I should be in my new house in a little over a month! Finally, my own garage!!

 

drove the tacoma to my brothers drove my 575$ 'Hoe back to the house to wash it up since ive had it parked over there for a while since ive been working on it
