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

Its alot better. Not perfect, but better

 

Welding god, I am not. But I'm happy with it so far

 

Looking good!

One thing to think about (you may be already, but there are a couple places that are hard to tell...) if you can, when you are done, have all of your beads form a seal on all edges of the plate, as well as the holes, then you won't have to worry about moisture getting between the plate and the frame. Just something to think about, since the whole point of this is to strengthen that puppy!

 

Yep! Plan is to get it cleaned up, then go over the whole back half with a close eye and a piece of chalk, mark all the suspicious stuff, then go back and address it. Between these plates and all the rusty bits I've replaced, it ought to be in good shape.

 

Because it's quiet tonight. Practice sure makes a difference.

 

60 grit flap disc will cut some of those sharp edges and blend it in better. Welds look good tho

 

Thanks! Flapping in progress.

 

Installed my Iridium IK22s.

 

Not like the ladies I'm familiar with. You sure she's not a ?

 

I go anyway bro. Its all the same.

 

Im kidding btw

 

Some people like getting electrocuted....

 

You must be into some gaping assholes

 

It's like throwing a hotdog down a hallway...

 

Washed it and replaced the carrier bearing. The last one I put on there that I got for cheap from RockAuto lasted pretty long, so I just threw the same cheapo on there. Don't flame me for not going with OEM lol

 

finally got the wheels for my 1st gen. Super excited to lace em up.

 

What is cheap? I think I got the oem one from spicer directly for like $75

 

$20ish shipped lol

 

Appreciate it! I used Rustoleum Sunrise red, and Raptor liner on the hood and bumpers.
