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

Thanks...

I spent at least 20 mins trying to find where i read all those

 

Its saying I can't acess the page. Prolly because I just became a member. But thanks for the link!

On a side note, anybody on here know why my seatbelt light is intermittently flashing? Tried messing with the connector and it didn't help so I'm stumped.

Amazing. Not too often can you ask people who are most likely complete strangers to help get you out of a hairy situation and get that sort of immediate response. Im impressed no doubt.

 

I didn't really think trailblazin was being that big of a douche I think he just started 4/20 a little early and was messin around a little. Not like he attacked anyone? Or did I miss something?

Are people's internet feelings getting hurt to easily now a days? LOL

Anyways back on topic.. I haven't done squat to my Tacoma today

 

?

 

Getting ready to take my rig up one of the nastiest quad trails in the area! Using it to look for elk sheds but this trail always gives me the goose bumps.....TACOMA

 

So I asked my wife what she thought about the Avid offroad bumper like the one on Taco Man in HD's Taco, see below



She thinks my Taco will look like a moon rover if I did it, but I say, "Meh, what do you know?" So I posed it to my facebook friends, because I knew they would back me up, because I want that bumper! Here is one of the replies I got from a buddy of mine.



Lol, thought that was classic

 

Haha. Wish my friends were that funny lol.

 

Get some pics for sure!

 

Join the club, lol. You could try cutting them out of an old foam mousepad

 

Doooooo it!

I like the looks of it for sure an would go with it as well but I plan on a winch one day

 

You don't want the neoprene stuff anyway.

Trust me, I just did this mod for $1.25

It's a much better upgrade.

If you're having a hard time finding the 1/8" rubber gasket material, I'll send you some.

 

Got started on my belly skid and finished up the transmission skid last night.

tranny skid tied into the IFS skid and factory crossmember.

 

Replaced the lower control arm bushings, bolts and adjustment cams and FINALLY got a decent alignment done.

How big of a deal is this job? My bushings are squeaking terribly and have been thinking about doing exactly wht you did, but have been unmotivated after taking a look at all that seems to be involved...

 

Big enough of a deal that I paid my mechanic to do it.

One of the 4 bolts came out in one piece. All 4 of the bushings got destroyed in the tear down. 9 years of salty roads have taken their toll.

If you can get yours apart without destroying the bushings, Energy suspension has a bushing kit that reuses the inner and outer metal sleeves. You just press them apart and install the poly replacements. The whole kit is $38 bot both sides. This is vs $50 per bushing from Toyota (4 total). I have that kit from ES if you want it, I could not use because mine got destroyed coming out.

The hardware, bolts, adjustment cams and sleeve cost $250 from Toyota, the only place you can get them. I know somebody who works at a dealer so I got a hefty discount. I can get you part numbers if you want.
