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

Thanks.
Krylon colormaster for plastic. Satin black , 2 coats. Prep was wash them with a nylo grip pad used krylon plastic primer. I was going to use flat black, but the guy at the shop told me to use satin if i wanted it to look closer to factory. Im happy with the choice. The cost of the rehab, were the clips and rubber trim. Cant use the old ones do to snapping while removing and possibly while re assembling - fyi... The rubber trim , roughly 80 to 100 bucks. The clips were 30 , yeah 30. The new trim has adhesive on it to make it easier. The old will not, I tried cussed and fucked with them and aid fuck it, getting new ones. ** I thought of using silicone or super glue to re adhere the original rubber trim but ??? **
Ha ha a mouth full , thanks again

 

Installed some eibachs and aal with billies all the way around on my brothers truck last night. Also put some new 33x12.50s on it

 

Truck looks amazing

 

Thanks I have done everything to it for him

 

Man lucky. Wish I had a brother like that, I would love to learn from someone that knows how to build an awesome truck like you do.

 

Great weekend camping trip

 

First gen DCs are so sweet. I don't go to the dealership often but when I do I swing through the service area and park right up front and the service guys all come out to see it.

 

I took some pictures by the sunset.









We just returned from a "rescue mission" collecting a few friends. They lost their gear kayaking the Salt River and ended up miles from their truck. We fit six humans and a Pomeranian in the cab!

 

Good looking truck man! You should make a build for it.

 

There's some info in my Datsun journal but I should add some more details on the Tacoma.

Six people in the cab!? I have a hard time fitting 3 lol. Very nice. Beautiful truck man! I love the front of that thing!

 

New inner and outter tierod on the passenger side. New boot coming tomorrow

 

Thanks man

 

So many nice unique trucks posted last few pages...

 

Went camping / wheeling with fellow TW'ers @MatthewMay1

 

hey lookie there! That silver truck looks familiar

 

Hey all it's been a while since I've been on here. Im going to be selling my rig to accommodate my growing family so in the next few weeks look towards the FS threads. Pics are in my photos to give you an idea of what will be in the FS section. I'll be putting it back as close to stock as I can (or not if someone wants as is....)

 

Brotha that soft top looks good where you got it and how much$$?

 

Looks good, I'd suggest replacing the driver side caliper as well. They should be replaced in pairs for optimum and even braking.

 

Shouldnt really need to replace the calipers in pairs, unless the pistons are jammed or sticking they should be fine to replace one at a time. I replaced just my drivers side a couple months ago because of a seized piston , but I did replace the brake pads on both sides at that time.

Edit: it certainly wouldn't hurt to do so if you have the $$ for it though, usually is better to do everything with brakes in pairs
