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

Put this trim on my fenders to clean them up.



Also got my sick newest expoverland mod installed. Weathertechs bro

 

“Piss of virgin unicorns”

 

Link? you happy with it?

 

may favorite wheels... want to get another set for my fathers truck as a gift...

 

how do you like that volant intake? im thinking about getting it and ditching the airaid tube when i get my engine back together... i like the looks better. (the airaid ended up on my fathers truck.... so is my exhaust... hell i bet that truck will end up with all my old parts at this rate... lol)

 

I like it, box is enclosed like the stock filter housing with an opening into the fender so it’s not drawing hot engine bay air. I used an AFE Pro dry filter rather than getting a greased one from Volant to keep my MAF sensor clean. No performance gains that I can tell but hey, it looks effin’ rad.

 

I bought it.
2000 TRD v6 manual 160k very clean interior....

Terrible picture, but you get the idea.
This is my new daily driver. I have no plans to off-road it because I have a landcruiser for that kind of thing. I will probably end up doing some camping in it. First thing will be a dual battery so I can transfer the fridge and solar over from the cruiser when I want.

 

Congrats, nice looking truck!

 

I wanna see the land cruiser

 

The white 80. This is the bottom of the granit bowl, rubicon.
And this is just before the rubicon springs bridge.

 

Nice! Looks like a fun rig, love to do the Rubi one day. Mine is a complete stocker 93 triple locked. Taco gets the wheeling and cruiser gets daily duty.

 

This guy started w/ a LC and got a Tacoma as a DD. Sounds familiar...

 

2.5 lift, 33s, sliders and we could get that 80 over the con easy!

 

It’s just door edge trim from Canadian tire. I took my time applying it this time and heated it up so the glue inside it should stick. Then PL premium on the inside so hopefully it’ll stay.

 

good luck. I tried that stuff. Did not last.

 

I feel like you’re not really wishing me good luck.

 

haha





not really. More of a warning

 

looks are the goal. as long as there no performance loss.

 

Added some vinyl to the headliner. I wanted to go with a dark grey but they didn’t have what I was looking for. I settled for the black and I’m ok with it.

 

I just got my 2002 LineXed... besides LineXing the tailgate access panel separately,
I got them to remove the tie-down hooks (rope-hooks). Only four (out of eight) of the
tie-down hook bolts survived the removal, and some LineX got in the bolt holes
(they warned me).

I read on the Internet about how to fix the bolt holes with LineX in them, the consensus was
to run a thread-chaser down in there. I could only find a tap in the right thread size,
so I used that, hoping not to weaken the threads too much. It worked well, as far
as cleaning out the threads goes...



The hooks were rusty, so I dremeled them down to metal and primered them. I like the OEM hooks,
I wonder how long it would take for new OEM hooks to get rusty? I wonder what I could coat my
hooks with that would last? Here's the OEM part numbers for the hooks and the bolts:

rings: 66312-35010 [order 4 (1 per corner)]
bolts: 90149-80034 [order 8 (2 per ring)]

I ordered new bolts, but I wanted to put my painted hooks back on for now, so I found four
stainless bolts at Home Depot that were suitable. The OEM bolts have a relief on the back
of the heads that helps keep them tight.
