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

Mine does that all the time on Frank. Different geometery. Never had an issue yet

 

I don't like re-manufactured stuff such as starter and alternators. Even though I got a rebuilt alternator, I'm pretty sure it'll last decently long since it was rebuilt by denso.

 

What rack is that?

 

It's from Avid Off Road. They do great work, very good quality and fit perfect.

 

Thank you sir. Guess ill just wait then. Do it right the first time

 

Plastidipped the whole truck minus the grill (have a new one going on soon). My truck has a shit ton of rock chips from prior owner and the roof isnt looking to good, wanted to cover it up for the winter. Have plans on getting it painted sometime in the next couple years so i figured this would suffice for now.

 

Wow badass truck. I thought I would keep the spare where it is, although I would preferr bfg 255/85/16 and want to believe I will be able to squeeze it in. Originally I was considering an auxiliarty fuel tank where the spare is, but i have decided to fabricate a tank, and place it between wheel wells in bed not to rise above or extend below. I need the bed for a atv. Tomorrow I am installing a heat exchanger I fabricated for hot showers in the field.

 

The black dip is amazing. How do I get it done?

 

Pictures of what or from whom lol.

 

@carofchoice I would love to see this in the light of day

 

Totes, with the Dakar leaf package, were you able to center the rear axle/tire into wheel well? I noticed you are wearing leathers, I road-raced Daytona, Talledaga, Road Atlanta and the rest of the SE race series years ago.

 

More pictures of your dual set up... the mount... where your overflow went etc

 

I added a leaf but it is way to stiff, i intend on removing them and either use Dakar or Deaver 10 leaf with maybe 5 inch shackles. I inquire of the axle adjustment because I want 255/85/16 BFG tires which will fill the wheel well for sure.

 

Your an 01-04. And a double cab.

Get the relocation plates, you'll need them.

3/4'' forward work perfect for me and many others. Im running 255/80r17s..same size as you just a 17'' rim.

 

My son and i were drinking coors light and crown that night. We did not take pictures of the battery mount but we welded a plate to the toyota and then welded a vertical plate and tab with hole for bolt to squeeze the top hold down metal piece. The top piece is simply bent and hooked under the edge lol and bolted on other side. Because the battery on sale was larger then optima red top for my 04 tacoma, we had to do away with stock over-flow catch and replace with mountain dew plastic bottle for now lol. I will take better pictures tomorrow and post them here so you can laugh with us about our welds while FWD fabricating while drunk lol

 

Thank you Monte

 

this ^^^

 

Thanks. That's enough to make me want to do it now. I like it with the texture too. I might start out with the red scotchbrites and see how much effort it takes. Definitely post up when you're finished with the sandpaper. If the smooth doesn't come out too bad, I might have to steal that idea from you.
