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

Indeed I am

 

33x12.5 R15 MTRs

 

Dead pic!!noooo! I wanna see.

 

its glorious.

 

Are you changing out the wheels or are you going to run 1"+ spacers?

 

Photobucket went down for a sec, should be good now.

I am hoping that they will fit. I think these are a 3.5 BS with just the skinny 15x7 rim. They were run on a 1990 4Runner that had a heart attack (engine blew)

 

Mounted my bumper today.. Very happy with how my fab work came out.

 

Looks nice! the bed side cut and side protection angles would annoy the fuck out of me being that different. But that's just me and my OCD.

 

looks clean! no license plate though?

yea me too.. HB - did you have a high clearance before?

 

I occasionally get a clunk or lurch in the front end when I stop and/or turn at slow speed. I had worried that it may be a LBJ or wheel bearing but there's no lateral movement in the wheel (wheel bearing) and the LBJ is tight. The only thing that has any movement is my steering rack.

With the truck off and moving the steering wheel, there is about 1/4"-1/2" side to side movement of the entire rack. Could bad steering rack bushings cause the clunk sound?

 

new seat covers

 

Looks like they came from an f16... U mount ejection rockets too? Good lord lol. Teasing aside I like it though where'd you fing those? Looks like a good way to gain storage space... They do look expensive.

 

I painted mine.

Took all but 30 mins. Look great.

Will probably have to touch up once a year.

The prep for this wrench week next week is going amazingly bad. URD was on a 7-10 day backorder for the AIC when I emailed Gadget on Monday and got word on Tuesday that my Camelback order would be shipping in 24 hours but then total silence. This S/C install may not be happening next week like I hoped.

 

I am going to be cutting the bedsides more. But need more time to remount the lower bed supports. But I am not really worried about it. Its not a show queen it more about function that show....

 

Is there anywhere a rear diff could be leaking besides the drain and fill plugs? I saw a couple drops on some asphalt when I was angled front down about 15 degrees. Both plugs show no sign of leaking... Not sure where else it could be coming from.
