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

That's where I saw it the first time - in physics class. The wind was not even that strong - it was just the wrong bridge in the wrong place at the wrong time.

 

Got a bunch of parts today

 

my bad for not replying btw I forgot, also you can use your original front fenders but your corners wont fit properly, but it'll hold

 

Haha no problem bro! Thanks for the tip I was thinking about getting the rest of the parts from RockAuto.

Just a heads up, I might send a few questions your way once the time gets closer if that's alright.

 

yea no prob, just let me know

 

I picked my sliders up from Tim when he was in town today.

 

Did you buy them new or purchase from another member? I'm in need of those exact parts after I hit a deer..

 

I got em locally.

EDIT: Check out RockAuto.com

 

finished up the new bedsides and laid some graphics down... prepping for this coming weekend's race out in Lucerne Valley...

 

Today I installed an AFE Pro Dry S air filter.

 

looks sharp..mike..... good luck this weekend...

 

A couple reasons why I would do this instead: I can build it for cheaper, I feel more accomplished when I do it myself instead of buying someone else's design, and if I can get it to work, i kinda like the look of it better...

what about mounting it half over the cab and half over the bed? I might still be able to have enough room for the handlebars...

and thanks Lisa, I will def be talking to them as I get it more worked out =]

 

All good reasons. Def would be cheaper! You should hit Monte (Blackdawg) up, he just went though this.

You're going the wrong way!

 

I'm guessing you're suggesting I do the 95.5-97 front end instead?

 

Only if you want the baddest looking front end for 1st gens

 

Bought my truck with a messed up front end (P/O rear ended a van and his friend backed into it)


Replaced that messed up front bumper with some help from a pry bar and a 5lb mini sledge Fits pretty well IMO

Now all I need is to find a hood..

 

Did a bunch of things today..

First I removed and wire brushed my rear drums; DAMN were they rusty.

Next I removed and disassembled the rear bell cranks, sanded them down nice, greased, reassembled, and reinstalled. My e-brake had been sticking (specifically the passenger side would not release when the P brake was disengaged) and this fixed it!
I followed the "How-to" from this site http://www.ebooksquad.com/2009/08/13/toyota-truck-park-brake-bellcrank-repair-guide.html click "download now" and open the file to view the steps.
I did run into a couple issues which I have brought up in this thread -> http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/1s...g-brake-will-not-disengage-3.html#post4474405

Lastly, I plastidipped the "crappy door trim" and it makes such a huge difference (to me)

OH OH OH also scheduled my lift install for next Friday!!! havin a buddy help me out with it, and it turns out he has a spring compressor so we are good to go

 

pretty good looking truck. Will look great with the wheelers 5 packs on it
