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

I want a blue taco this color:

 

LMFAO I literally LOLed there.

I have plenty of the base color left, so I am thinking when I get my off-road trailer built I will paint it to match!

 

Did you remove all the body panels?

I've never painted a vehicle (properly) but my paint is really fading on the roof of the cab and the hood is getting all chipped up, etc.

Would love to paint my truck if I don't make it look like an idiot (me) painted it.

 

So take off all parts (S/C for sure) and get it towed to the dealer? then get a nice check?

Sounds like a good plan for what road.

 

When I did the first paint job I did a ton of stuff. You can find my "restoration" thread under my profile and it will show all the work that went into it.

 

yea, i contacted my nearest toyota dealer and i'll see what they said in mean time i'll have my dads fabricator friend take a look and see what he says. i love this truck to much to get rid of it that way. plus i owe $ on it still. so unless they give me a hell of a deal idk what to decide yet.

 

You underestimate my idiocy.

I don't see what you're talking about.

 

is that speedway metallic blue on a first gen?

 

Start here. I found the page.

Nope. Scroll up a few. It is a custom color modified from a Dodge Viper Blue Pearl.

 

as of a rating on the condition should i ignore the frame's condition or pick the lowest grade regardless

 

Kbb excellent

 

Great...now I have to go change my underwear after seeing both of those.

 

I have the same issue as well, not sure what it is. It started after I redid my suspension, thought maybe a shock tube was contacting something but haven't investigated yet.

 

Yeah, well... that's not gonna happen.

 

Ever heard of a loss of MPG after changing the water pump, thermostat, timing belt, and a few other belts? I was getting my usual 16 city 19 hwy one tank after getting them changed, but the two tanks since have been 11-12 mpg...Just a few days ago my brake light came on like I have my parking brake on but it isn't. Fluid is not low either. And it doesn't feel like the brakes are sticking or anything. Not sure where to begin other than wait it out to see if I had two bad tanks of gas in a row...

 

Didn't you mention you were warping front rotors? Might be a brake issue.

 

Well they've been warped for a year now. Happened probably two months after I changed pads and rotors. Could be it but I would think my mileage would have gone to shit long ago if that was the case.

I did install a BPV braket from BAMF after getting my truck back from the dealership. Didn't think of that. Maybe I set it too high? I only set it half an inch higher than my old one from wheelers was set at though.

 

My brake cel only comes on when I put it in park and neutral and press on the brake. When braking in drive it doesn't appear.
