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

Nice man! I'm considering some sliders too. Thanks again for the red devil emblem, it completes my truck

Thanks man! Red tacos FTMFW!

 

No prob, It had been sitting in a box since Feb.

I got a lot of compliments when it was on mine too.

 

Ya since mine was jacked my truck felt like less of a Toyota, like it was naked. Now she rolls around proud again

 

Is that your LCA or just a skid plate? Where did you get it?

 

As per your request.

 

So... so... nice!

 

I appreciate the compliments man...this site helped a lot, actually had the laptop set up outside while installing. Thanks!

 

Fitted the bumper so I can add some plates, light tabs, and light bar. Got the idea from box rocket. Primer and paint. Slap it on tomorrow.

 

Because the weather is just that damn good. Actually this was yesterday. Rolling around Corvallis without the flags because...a college town just isn't up to that.

However, you would think people around here had never seen a doorless pickup.

 

Not today but i got my 3" All Pro standard duty springs installed. If your not familiar with the springs and my year of Tacoma, the hangers had to be relocated 1" back and 2" forward. Also had to get the shackles modified to fit and function properly. Ill have to invest in some new shackles soon.







New stance without blocks!



Then went for a ride and tested out the springs on the logging road. I am very impressed with the ride of these springs! Especially at higher speeds, they just seem to soak up all the bumps.

 

no pics - but, my wife called me today and said, "Honey, the 4runner (2003 4.7l v8 2wd limited) won't start... it just goes click click click click."

So, after pushing it out of the parking spot it was in (up a tiny incline, 1" in 10' probably) I jumped it with my truck and she drove it home..

Then it was off to the store to replace the battery - So long factory battery of 9 years old... hello duralast gold from autosone - sure, not top of the line, but it's never let me down before in my other vehicles...

 

Ummm there is my skid and lca in that pic. I think what ur asking is do I have a lca skid...no it's a boxed lca from my burg LT kit. The skid was part of my custom bumper and had it cut and bent at a metal shop here. Hope that answered ur question

 

Shout out to steven(valon5150) for hookin it up today.

 

Looks good man!
I can't wait to get mine from Tim hopefully this week.

 

Bed rack is pretty much done.

Off to Moab tomorrow morning!

 

I am extremely jealous. I want to go to Moab

 

Hey! that's me

 

its gonna be epic

only a 12 hour drive for me!

 

That's about what it is for me too, maybe it was 10. looked it up a while ago but can't remember exactly. After I get regeared and the front locker installed I will be hitting up the Rubicon cause it's only a 4 hour drive.
