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

Ditto...for me it was having a pregnant wife and then a baby, definitely shifts priorities around and you don't get out as much lol. I still get out on easy local trails just to get out of the city and get some fresh(er) air, but haven't been able to do a real trip or 4x4 trail since early last summer.

On the plus side I don't really break anything while pounding pavement and I've been able to slowly focus on working on things with the truck that I've put off for awhile.

 

My beard is like Keanu's, patchy AF. Best I can do is a Van Dyke.

 

Mine was a job that was sucking my soul out of me and taking up all my time. I had a trip planned in the fall but a health issue related to that job from hell kept me from being able to go. That's all behind me now!

 

Out with the old cracked seat plastic in with the new
Not too bad for $26. Cheapest I ever found them by far. Never really seen them for less then $85

hey ladies, can we just chat about what we did to our 1st Gen's today. Save the pantie bunching conversations for your other social media. kinda sick of seeing it here and being labeled part of the bitchy TW community.


realizing as i write this it will probably start more ranting..... smh

 

No shit! That's an awesome price. Does the quality seem close to original? I need a driver side one of these. Mine is halfway gone.

 

I was skeptical at first but seeing it in person it seems good. Comes with the rubber and the clip needed. I got the grey but they have tan too. I was sick of the old one but never willing to pay $90 for it.

 

Same here... and they seem like they are always one of the first things gone on a part out.

I'm possibly going to change out the seats entirely, so that's been playing a factor in not wanting to spend the money ($90) but at that price, I may just order it up and it can go with the seats if/when I get rid of them.

 

Oh wait....

Am I only supposed to use OEM seats???? It's hard to keep track of this shit.

 

Haha. Man. I am in the same boat. I've been looking at brz/frs seats because they are then nicest cheapest I can find. But for the $26, I can live with the stock seats for a little while longer. That plastic was pinching my ass getting in and out lol.

 

No doubt... I hear that.

My son just bought a project T4R, the front seats are pretty worked over. He found a really sweet deal on some BMW 330i seats. I'm going to see how bad fabbing brackets goes on those... if it goes pretty well, I'm going to probably pick up similar seats.

But again... at that price, I may swipe some of those plastics anyway.

 

Replaced my T-Case 4x switch today.

 

was that the issue?

 

Yep. Green light on the dash is back and front axles engage now

 

awesome!

 

So how did you get it off?

 

Awesome, we need at least one vehicle in our band that can go into 4WD

 

@cruiserguy i have this one too and love it for the price point. Puts out a good amount of smoke, the can is durable and easy to refill, and it even comes with the smoke oil and a header valve tool. Definitely a good purchase. One of those “don’t use it every day but nice to have when you do need it” tools.

 

I just swapped my seats for some 4Runner seats. I threw out the seats, but,... I kept the plastics in case anyone needed them. You can have them for free99 if you want. Just cover shipping. They’re grey btw.
