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

I spent most of the day making sure I got this exactly right. It turned out perfect. Hard line fit exactly right and ended right at the clamp bracket down by the slave cyl. Very pleased to have this portion of the swap behind me.

 

Awesome job!

That hard line is no easy task.

 

it was an exercise for sure, I like finishing things I start so this was a test for sure. It was easier than normal to stop though since it was like 102 degrees out haha

 

Stole a long travel kit off if some truck.




Going on the double cab.

Ordered new advanced front and rear fiberglass fenders too.

 

You're missing a bumpstop

 

It's in the before pic, the Durobump has to come off to put in the OEM axles because the ends of the axle are wider than the cheaper axles. I put the bump back on after the axle was in

 

Yes the cruise light comes on when I hit button.

 

I'm guessing wrong thread, or too many beers.

 

Or both

 

Almost looked like you had a hazmat suit on in the first pic haha

 

I tried sanding a little switch blank I bought and it turned out white and I couldn’t get it back to being black haha had to buy another one and wasn’t sure if maybe I did it wrong?

 

That's my dad haha

But we were wearing sunglasses shirts. Helps a lot.

 

I used a few coats of filler primer, sanded between coats, then repainted the one for our old 4runner. Looked good, but not worth the work for me this go around in the taco

 

Man, I’m so psyched to see this progress and swap happening. And envious at the same time

 

Did I hear your donating frank to
Me?

i want that dang bumper

 

From Frankenstein to FrankenNEIN!

Am I right?

 

I ran over a puddle of sewage in the rough part of town one time last time ill ever go that way in the rain again

The stench is awful

 

As others said you'll need to paint it as well. Another option that can work, if you have a great gun, after you sand hit it with heat. Be careful not to melt it though.

 

Thanks man! Yeah me too. It's been months in the making between research and part sourcing. So much happening this coming week. Front driveshaft arrives Monday. Tires should arrive Monday, transmission should be delivered Tuesday.

Wheels got here yesterday as did my SPC UCA's, various drop brackets (front diff, carrier bearing, prop valve and longer rear brake line). Add a leafs, and steering rack from wheelers/low-range OR are still awaiting shipment. Order from Toyota with all the bearings, hubs, cv axles etc should ship this week.

 

Went up bronco peak yesterday in corral canyon ohv and was massively under prepared, dented some shit and used my sliders to their fullest potential.
