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

Drove to Anderson SC, then to Sonic. Yes, I know, exciting.

 

hahaha thanks, man! I only used two coats and less than one can since it's only temporary for me.... I would suggest AT LEAST 4 coats if you want it to last, and more wouldn't hurt.

 

Removed bed liner, posted in for sale forum

 

Prepared her for badlands on saturday and sunday! Toys for tots run!

New rear DS u-joint, greased joints, new rear brakes, rear brake line, checked fluids, cleaned it a little, lowered my tire PSI to 7, new battery terminals, charged my battery, torqued all suspension bolts again, cleaned my trash out, fixed a lighting isue maybe? Tried wiring up my aftermarket lights, tightened the front bumper replaced my pinion guard bolts.. So much fun.

Pics and video to follow hopefully Monday

 

Agreed.......

x2!

Dang..... glad it's fixed, man, but that's still a hefty sum!

 

Nice! Do you have disc brakes back there? and dang. 7 psi????? It take it you were getting some uneven wearing down the middle.....?

 

Got some Goodyear Authority's mounted on the Tacoma, changed the oil and installed a scangauge. My poor Cherokee has a 2" lift and is still lower than the stock Tacoma. :-(

 

They're from walmart. $150.50 a piece they look bitchin and they have very little howl. We're getting a good snow right now so I'll get to test them out this weekend, all the blocks are siped so they should have good cold weather traction.

 

Got my Monore air shocks for the rear installed today. I hope the front 5100's come in soon.

 

Balanced tires, power steering flush, repaired auxiliary outlet, replaced battery, tightened valve cover bolts, cleaned throttle body...

...and found that the RF wheel bearing is loose and rear drums are out-of-round. Fun times.

 

Mine doesn't make any noise yet and I have to haul an engine down to Virginia, so I think I can ride on it for the weekend. I guess that will be my project for next week.

 

Have you used silverstar ultras? If so how do you like them compared to those PIAAs?

 

Changed my fuel filter and man did it needed... also helped my brother install his new bumper on his Chevy 1500 where he got rear ended by a tree . I always give my family crap cause they all have Chevy's and Fords so when something happens to them I always say "You shoulda gotta Yota"

 

Yeah, I'm feeling lazy about fixing it, but now that it's getting colder I might have to if it keeps up.
I ordered 4 Bilstiens, Eibach springs, and OME leafsprings to accomplish 2.5", plus all the other stuff I'll need. Got great service from DownSouth Motorsports, they're waiting for the leaf springs to come in before they ship it all to me.

 

Was supposed to chop up another 2nd gen tonight but it fell thru so I decided to pretty up the struts....

 

What coils are those!

 

Replaced the carrier bearing.

Huzzah, the annoying suck down feeling/tink noise when shifting from park to reverse... GONE!

I hated that it sounded like a rock hitting a metal pole (kinda tink noise) everytime i when from P-R and the 70mph vibes are gone.


HURRRAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

 

I wanna say Eibachs that give me 3" lift, but the truth is they're the stock coils with a coat of OEM Dodge/Chrysler engine enamel... I like the shade of blue....

 

The enamel looks great id like to see how it works with the moving of the coil?

 

Got a 3 in lift today, and got rancho 9000's front and rear finally replacing the shot shocks,
