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

They're ready to go! https://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/wto/d/scs-f5-duractrac-bfg-k02/6443161955.html

 

the spiders are turning inside. Put the other axle in.

 

Damn I was scared for a sec. Stand by.

 

That solved it. Everything is working as it should. Got REALLY scared there for a second, I was not ready to take this Differential out again. lol.

 

anyone have experience with allpro's ucs's thinking of getting those or total chaos. just like to know if there is a difference between them in terms of alignment.

 

I know I’m a little late with this but I felt like it needed some clarification. All the bolts that hold the front skid on are actually 8mm bolts. 8mm diameter 1.25 thread pitch. All factory Toyota 8mm bolts will have a 12mm head while all 8mm bolts bought/sourced in the US will have a 13mm head so they also fit a 1/2” socket.

Same thing applies to all the other metric bolts I’ve bought in the US, they will have a head size that fits a metric socket and a standard socket.

On a factory Toyota bolt the head size will always 4mm up from the diameter of the shank.

 

Honestly the paint I used was a semi translucent paint, it's all about trying to applicate it lightly. The other thing too was that I painted it blue with blue led's. I imagine the stock orange needles with red led's look similar. If you run white LED's though I'm sure it looks amazing. There are also facets on the needle that are painted and unpainted which help how it looks/glows.

That an offroad park or forest?

 

Basically the same thing. I used the all pro on my 4runner and never had an issue.

 

thank you glad to hear that.

 

It is an old road that has not been maintained by the county for a long, long time.

 

Getting some wheels back in shape for spares.

 

Looks Really good

 

I'm really happy with my built right fabrication uca's and they were by far cheaper than TC, allpro, Icon, and Camburg.

 

I posted this in the 98-00 thread and have searched like crazy and can't a definite answer so I'll repost here:
So my girlfriend got me some Husky floor liners for Christmas and upon opening the box I discovered that they were for an explorer (she ordered the right ones Btw). So Amazon sent out a replacement that arvived today and this time they sent Tan rear floor liners for a double cab instead of the black front xtracab that they should have been! Long story short I'm done messing with Amazon and husky and am curious if the weathertech floor liners for 01-04 will fit my 98?

 

Thank you man

 

No taco love at the moment.. busy building a bumper for the wife’s 4Runner..

 

Thanks for the tip, how much did you take out of your bed. Thought mine was the only one!

 

Got up and did some more mining today! With crappy froze over sow.

 

I took out 10 inches from a 6ft bed. It’d probably still work if you took out a little more.

I was mostly worried about it being to wide when I ordered, but it’s not.

 

Ohh lol i took 10in out of a 5ft bed lol.
