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

How is the texture? Like a hard textured paint basically, non rubbery?

 

I can't touch it right now to tell, but it doesn't look rubbery. Kinda reminds me of the Linex bed I had in my Tundra. Its alot smoother and cleaner looking than Herculiner but that may be because its getting sprayed on. Appears to have grip. Before I put on the third coat, I'll try to get a closer shot of the texture.

EDIT With closeup: Don't know if you can tell much from this shot, but its definitely smoother than a Herculiner. Still strong with grip. But of course, won't know how strong after a few months of abuse.

Ripped the Chrome off the side of the truck, sanded and put on a few layers of Duraliner. Just waiting for it all to dry so I can take the tape off.

 

OK< let's try that again. yada yada yada... did Duraliner.... waiting to dry.

 

Sliders on a long travel truck???? Interesting

 

I'm pretty sure jberry has sliders on his.

 

good point. I guess it's not illegal to do some crawling with long travel. lol

 

!! What lenses are those? Holy crap that is massive.

 

OEM 3" Lense for these projectors, Hella EvoX-R's. A lot bigger than mini's lol.

 

Hauled the parents boat to their cabin. Quite impressed with how well the Tacoma handled it. My first time towing anything, ever. Installed a Curt hitch last week.

 

Oh man yes! i am already much more comfortable knowing they are there.

Thanks man!!

 

What the hell...

...seems like everyone and their mother are getting sliders.

Except me

 

Get on the band wagon

 

Nah, staying with 33's. I don't like how high you have to lift my gen to fit 35's comfortably, I'm wanting to keep it as low as possible (even though it's turning out to be pretty tough). Plus that's just more strain of everything and less mpg's this things still going to be a DD.

I'm running the 79 yota axle, 4.56, Spartan locker, chromo hubs and hopefully getting dirty 30's here shortly...

The rear already has 4.56's and a E-locker. I will probably put new bearings and seals in it this summer. When I do that I'm going to do chromo shafts

 

What kind?

How much?

What condition?

 

Elite Sliders!!

 

Took it fishing Thursday - Saturday of this week...

 

Cause I figured you'd want to be as light as possible rompin out in the dunes.

But hey, if they're bolt on, why not?!

 

Damn Napa CV boots. Third one I've been through.

And I find a crack in the frame next to the coil bucket. Think I'm due for an engine cage this summer.

 

Yep, and I'll have it stubbed out to tie into a cab cage whenever I get around to that.
