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

Really? Which one? Low-profile?

Yep, low profile, I also ordered the light hoop for it. Looking for lights now.

 

Nice. One of the nicer-looking tube bumpers. That will change your look quite a bit. That includes the winch mount/receiver, right?

 

Yeah, that receiver was one of the selling points for me. I think tha I am going to mount it with lights now and see about a winch in the future.

 

okay cool ill check it out. but u best be posting pics once you get the grill and bumper done =P. u doin the lights behind the grill too?

 

Check your brakes.

 

That was my first thought.

 

either wheel bearings or just your brakes are frozen. I kno my E brake has been frozen on the last few days, just broke free this morning.

 

oh lol just saw you were in FL lol!

huh..well then i guess wheel bearing??

 

just change out my front brakes and rear drum brakes. the rear drums are PITA. i hope i don't have to change for as long as i live. unless i swap it to disc brakes. Then, I found out my wheel bearing or axle is out. axle not spinning when i spin the hub.

 

i painted my rims black today. i think it looks so much better. i think it would look even better if i tinted the windows so thats probably gunna happen next week. and theres also a picture of a dent i put in it last week while offroading. i dont even know how it happened

 

Waxed it (claybarred yesterday) feels so smooth

 

ah, it'll buff out

 

I know they aren't the best, or the shiniest for that matter, but it's all i got at the moment .

 

Im predicting they will suck on ice.

My winter tires do pretty good on ice actually. Any tire with good siping will out perform a non-siped tire on ice. Especially when you need to stop suddenly.

 

The plastic cap pops open with a flat head screw driver. I've opened mine many times to remove the belt and take the door panel off. The torque on the seatbelt is pretty high if I remember correctly, and this is a prime example why you want to torque them to spec. So much easier to do yourself than letting a dealer fuck up more stuff.
