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

The bed liner stuff mellows down very quickly to a flat black. Also I hope you let it cure for at least a day other wise it comes off quite easily

 

Why the hell do u have a dead cat under ur truck!!

 

Changed the oil/filter and air filter too.

 

The cat must of crawled under it at a friends house where there are 20+ cats roaming around. It stunk like hell for 2 months, I just did'nt have the stomach to remove it until there was nothing left about LOL

 

I changed my oil, color matched front toyota badge, blacked out front bumper, front corner lights, and color matched my mud flaps haha... Oh and got stuck installing my rear suspension so its still on jackstands

 

Cut out fenders are done

Now off to replace my 1402 viper too 5904 viper.

Also upgrading the dsm 200 to dsm 250 gps...

Stuff has been sitting over a month in boxes i think its time to give moving on it.

 

got mine fully detailed today (washed, waxed, buffed, shampooed carpets, engine steamed, etc.) and she looks reeeaal purrrty haha

 

Went to my muffler dude today!




Hacked off this:
(the 18" Magnaflow with tailpipe)





...and threw on a slim 14" Magnaflow(2.5" in/out) with a 3" custom downturn:





I have headers so it sounds SUPER deep and throaty. Lost a lot of the tailpipe raspiness, but gained more of a louder deep tone. Slight drone, but not ear-shredding at all. I think the headers definitely take the annoyance out of the usual buzzy rasp you get when splicing in a downturn setup on Tacomas.

 

Ordered a set of 16x8 Konig Countersteer Offroad wheels in Gunmetal with a set of new lug nuts.

 

Got a call from Wheelers saying the front shocks wont be in until next week so cant ship out my stuff so I havent did SHIT to my Tacoma today

 

anyone know of a good exhaust/muffler set up for a 4-banger that won't make it too much of a ricer sound? OR is that just going to be inevitable being a 4-banger...?

 

Deck plated my girl today. Loud as hell come 3k RPM. 6" deck plate from
West Marine. Seems to have a bit more pep. Oh well, I like the sound.

 

Wait what?!

 

Dyed my front bumper/lower valence. I tried really hard to remove the whole thing but couldn't, then later realized how easy it was to just mask it off. I think it looks great

Before:





After:

 

That does look good!

 

Why yes, yes it does!

Definitely recommend using it for this especially if yours is fading and beginning to look grey like mine was.

 

what did you dye it with?

 

This, in flat black >>

I get mine from oreilys for like $7 a can. I honestly used about half a can for this job.
