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

No I don't know. But @BartMaster1234 will know really soon.

 

You can use my fitment guide on your wheels to know also.

 

Bought a full set of Budbilt 3/16" steel skids earlier this summer from @Dalandser, but waited on installing them until I got my Kings w/600lb springs on. Well, the Kings have been on for a month now so I figured it was time to put this heavy bitch on once and for all....

Stock skid on the right took a beating over the past year and a half, but did it's job and did it well enough. Was definitely time to replace though.






I only put the front IFS skid on, going to do the underbelly portion another night. Pretty simple install, minus having to go get a longer bolt for one side because the bracket was bent up from hitting a rock at some point.

 

Well used up i'd say.

 

Does anyone know the size of this bolt? Mine popped out of the clutch pedal bracket and I have no idea where it went.

 

PUMPKINS!! lol I still need to take my kids to get some.

 

8x1.25mm I believe - if it has a 12mm head then that's what it is.

 

Shined up

 

I pulled the trigger on new tires because Discount Tire is having a $100 of $400 purchase. I only paid $600 for the tires. Wheels were $400

I'm going to be doing the Tundra brake upgrade pretty soon so I'll let you know

 

Thanks man! Thank you and monte for the tips before I left.

dude a bunch of those shots came out sick. Best part is I didn't really touch them in Lightroom at all. And don't worry you made up for it by having some good beer too

 

ECDB = Extra Cab Double Bed


Cool factory option.

 

haha, we joked about welding it on as a camper shell

 

I was given an estimate to paint the replacement bed, the price is right. The body shop should have my replacement bed and tailgate by the end of next week. I'll be salvaging the flares, tailgate, mud flaps and taillights off my old bed before it gets squished. Replacing the bed is the nuclear option for this cancerous mole/hole in the bed floor, but the spray in bed liner sent me over the edge.

 

Just an FYI your fender flares wont match the holes in the bed. You need the bigger flares. Either weld up the holes and paint or source new flares.

New spc upper ball joints, OEM lower ball joints, front left wheel bearing and alignment. Still need to get a new steering rack and fix my dog tracking issue

 

That things sweet. Whats the bed cage setup look like? Low profile?

 

Can you get me all those badges?!?!?!! Yoda one,rr diff one. What’s that distillery one?

 

It's still going to be a fleet side so same flares. I would have bought a step side bed just to piss off the haters.

 

Went for the roll on Rustoleum bedliner. Took me about 4 hours but I was switching back and forth between painting the bed and my Wildernest. Should be able to finish the Wildernest this weekend. I ran out of the roll on so I only finished the top, but might try spray paint for the bottom and do a comparison.

 

I pulled my rear drums off to replace the shoes because the Big O tires said they were ready to be replaced only to find out that they were still around 60/70% fuckers trying to get my money!
