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

Did you download and print off the tempalte on that thread?


I did that, traced the template, cut out some rubber, and it worked perfectly.

 

No sir, I didn't even see a template

 

A few local places can get them but pricing is really high plus shipping. Muffler city has a lot to choose from but they're all assholes with awful customer service so I try to avoid them. I see advanced auto has them for 92 a piece after 15% off and apparently only 90 bucks for overnight shipping. I bet I'd get a call about the shipping quote not applying to Alaska though lol.

Template worked good for me too. I did it two years ago and they're still there. Best free piece of rubber from a scrap bin I've picked up haha.

 

Worked for me as well, just read the guys directions (make sure printer doesn't scale the image)

I picked up a piece (I think it was 4' long?) of rubber baseboard shit from Lowes for like $3. It's a blue/grey that matches my grey interior well enough. I used a whole 6 inches of it haha.

 

yeah...

oh if you want any fab work done... look up my buddy Dan... he owns Green Tree Fab... his shop is off Rosewood... https://www.google.com/maps/place/61%C2%B009'42.5%22N+149%C2%B051'39.5%22W/@61.161804,-149.860986,1853m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x0?hl=en

 

oh yeah he does good work. He built a bedrack for another member on here that is pretty awesome. I may have one built eventually. I'll be going to him to weld light tabs on my bumper when the time comes too.

 

Awesome, thanks

yup, had to go into the settings as it was trying to print at 155%.

Cool, I'll check for that stuff at lowes.

 

good shit! he still have his blue 85 with the 3.4 and 4 link'd rear? that thing was nuts to ride in.

is you see him tell him Brandon (with the silver 92 pickup... Cliff's friend) says what's up

 

You know I've never actually chatted with him so I'm not sure. When I do I'll let him know though.

 

if you get a chance... do so... guy is crazy smart and very talented. and above all... a genuine nice guy... I used to hang at his shop or his house (he has lifts at both) while he rebuilt motors and did fab work... just twisting his ear about this or that... actually one of the things I miss most about AK.

 

Grey item number is 234298

They also have black, dark brown, and light brown/sandish colors.

 

Thanks

 

Got a few things done this weekend. Changed out my front diff fluid. Finally installed my wheelers front brake lines and flushed/bled the brakes. I also mounted up a blitzpro ambler led light to my bed bar to see how it would look. Now I just gotta wire it up. I also played with the timing map for my URD 7th injector kit to try and knock out some ping I'm getting at around 2000 rpm. Hopefully I can tune it out with some patience. Only pic I got is of the light mounted.

 

Got the rear suspenders done today.

All pro expo, flip kit and timbren bumps, B.A.M.F bpv bracket no shocks yet the fox's I got need to go through the bed. Also adjusted the coilovers, 2.5 inches of thread on top, icon ex. Coilovers, camburg UCA with 1" unibal and B.A.M.F lca skids

 

Installed a inverter, charges my macbook just fine.

 

They're in pretty good shape still i was just thinking of doing it for peace of mind but really don't think i need them. The couple pics i've seen here and there of Tacos doing the stanky leg with their tire embeded in the fender kinda made me nervous.

Yeah it is the inners. I guess running them for that long with little/no grease won't hurt them as bad as i'm thinking will it?

 

Haha not that it matters too much, but your BPV bracket is on upside down

 

Noticed that as well... But honestly if you're putting it at the highest setting then that would be more out of the way haha
