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

im the same with ruts but thats why i go to the badlands. everywhere else its go be gentle with the wheel spin

 

Yeah, got a similar forecast here as well, so over winter!

 

West Virginia red clay is nasty stuff.
​

I just don't want to clean the whole truck if I drive a few hundred yards in mud soup!!

 

Indiana is no different lol cold, rain, snow tornado, snow again now its cold and rain

 

guess since i live on a dirt road i just wait till it rains to wash the truck. except after i drive it through a salty road try to prevent rust as much as i can. i just pull it inside at work and spray my under side after it thaws.

 

i dont care about the truck being dirty but when your tires stick out like 3" past the fenders its literally impossible to keep your mirrors clean in the winter or any wet conditions

 

Well I ordered LCE EGR block offs, Teflon throttlebody and intake/SC manifold gaskets. Some new colder NGK plugs and prepped my pink top injectors to be sent to WitchHunter Performance for cleaning and flowmatching.

 

Its been forever since I've been to the Badlands. Wanting to take my truck there once I have sliders and a skid plate but that requires having money to buy those things and I am lacking in that department lol

 

yea same here. i want to go back but work is tieing me up atm. but it keeps me from breaking the truck i guess. for now lol

 

Lol I feel that. I'm going to bring spare CVs since I have a feeling mine will break.

 

hopefully we can do it at the same time be nice to go with some one in a similar truck. all my friends have a full size and go through shit a little to knarly for me lol

 

Lol same. I'll let you know when I plan on getting out there. My buddy has his F150 that he plays around in but that's my only really good friend that is into offroading.

 

What did you snag that out of!

Have you tried a one sided leaf spring, better spring pack or shorter shackles. You can also get longer spring perches from sord that eliminate it.

Hit me up if you need a hand.

 

Looks good.

 

Had a photoshoot with some friends down by some marshland on the San Francisco Bay. Pictures turned out really good.



In order from back to front: 2004 Toyota 4Runner SR5 v6 4x4, 2017 Tesla Model S P100D, 2014 BMW 335i, and up in front is my 1998 Toyota Tacoma PreRunner 4x4. (Fun Fact: The Tesla and the Tacoma were made in the same factory in Fremont 20 years apart)

That's the Eastern span of the Dunbarton Bridge in the background for anyone curious.

please ignore my clearcoat

 

lmao you should take your truck to the factory and show it to the workers see if they remember the good days

 

My dad was a sub-contractor for NUMMI when they were still around, he did work for Toyota back in the day. I still have his NUMMI badge in my house somewhere.

I'm tempted to drive into the Tesla factory, flash my 1990's NUMMI badge, and act like I'm really really late for work.

 

Closest to wheeling I'm going to get... LOL.

 

Sounds a a problem someone running 35’s would have.
Or any 12.50 and no flare.

I don’t really care about getting it dirty I just hate cleaning it....
And before anyone says “well just don’t clean it”, just stop.

Mirrors aren’t a big deal as mine are folded in the majority of the time anyway.

 

we could through the "mall crawler" insult at him but that might be to mean.
