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

Red&Cayote Lake trails ton of rigs hella good shows

 

Almost got all the sanding done. Just gotta pull the bed and do where I couldn't reach and some other small minor things...

Loooks like shit but hopefully it turns out good.

Also, my tires stick out like 1.5 inches without the flares...
Is that what "the kids" are calling the stance game?

 

When you're just a broke college student with a jeep bumper laying around you make due

 

What tire size are those?

 

37s not over killed

 

Thought they look huge lol
Nice job fitting them

 

Looks pretty good to me, does it tie into the frame well? More pics?

 

Just used the pre existing holes and ran bolts through, it'll make due for now until I get a winch plate then I'm going to weld it on for more support, still have to get some more pipe and get it to be flush under the fender

 

Well that's convenient, Jeeps must have similar width frames.

Just a tip though, I'd weld on support plates to the bumper that you can line up with frame holes and more securely bolt the bumper on rather than have it permanently stuck on, plus you don't have much surface for only a frame weld to hold the forces of winching.

 

Yeah I was thinking about adding some more to be able to mount to the original bumper mounts and give it more strength

 

Down here in Texas, it called Mexi-Poke.
Looks good tho. I will be doing the liner spray to my truck as well but with less body work and prep.

 

I might be over prepping I dunno. I just want it to turn out Atleast half way decent.

What brand are you gonna use?

 

I will be using the rustoleum bedliner in spray can form. I have used a couple cans on my bed and like how it comes out. Thin and consistent (as long as I take my time).
It's been raining down here so I haven't finished my bed.

 

New paint and Did an oil change for the TRD supercharger at 35,000 miles and added a butt screw to the top of the supercharger nose housing for an easier change next time, so will not have to take the snout off again,
You would think I would have done this years ago

 

Just make sure to wipe it down really good with some all prep or something similar and then use a tac cloth(s) to get it real clean after taping it off. Try not to touch it to much after that and take your time painting it.

 

Yeah for sure, I'm probably gonna go over some of it again with the sander and then they say to use MEK or something, hoping to paint Wednesday.

 

cleaned this nasty thing out

 

Twas a good day! Finished up most of everything on my LS swap, finished the custom console and took the truck on a good 30 mile test drive. Truck did perfect and has a ton of power!
