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

Interesting, was the crank bolt replaced or reused?
I know a lot of people reuse it but I got a new one when mine was done, just for the peace of mind

 

It was reused. I asked the dealer if it was a torque to yield bolt and they said “no, it’s a reusable bolt.”

 

Still looks good on the side of the road

 

Finally got around to finishing my drawers up.

 

That is slick! Whats that textured material called?

 

Thanks.

Rubber-Cal "Tuff-n-Lastic" Rubber Runner Mat.

Purchased from Walmart, but available elsewhere. Not sure how I like it yet though.

 

Now this is interesting. do you have more details posted somewhere?

 

No. I'm terrible at keeping track of what I've done, I don't think I've updated my build thread in years...

If you'd like more details or anything specific in happy to share.

 

Starting to dabble into a 4WD conversion if anyone wants to help in North Virginia (DMV Area)


Here's the most recent picture of her...

 

Step 1: Cut off all IFS things

 

<front end now sits on the ground>

Now what?

 

2. Remove front 1/3 of frame
3. Complete all required work for solid front axle.

Details for Step 3 are up to installer, no more information to be found here


And, step 2 really cancels the need for step 1 so, yea disregard step 1

 

protip: Read all steps before you start.

 

That’s in the abstract, which can be found in the full guide.

 

<solid front axle and suspension installed>

Still needs a t-case...

 

Obviously this isn’t a peer reviewed guide

 

Fixed

 

It’s a valid recommendation

 

I stand by my comment.

 

See if @BartMaster1234 has time to chat. He converted his truck and did a good job at it.
