im sure more will add to it. brian takes deposits, then wont do shit with your truck for months. when you want your money back he says its gone or the kits being made. or he'll hold your truck hostage so you cant leave or get your refund.

 

what gen tacoma?

 

Since DMZ doesn't make a SUA kit for 1st gens and Solo's 19"+ kit is for 2nd Gens I'm gunna assume 2nd Gen

 

Who's this? Followed me 30 miles south las vegas

 

Can any first gen guys snap a few pics on how the headlights/corner lights are mounted?

 

Whats a 1st gen ?....

 

01-04. I bought a new core support thinking the headlights bolt to it, but I think im missing brackets.

 

I did, then I undid both clamps on the axle and just slid the boot further down the axle shaft.

 

I replaced my front end due to an accident so I know what your talking about. I'll take a few pics tomorrow when I have daylight and post for ya. But off the top of my head the head lights come with brackets that connect the frame.

 

And the corner ones clip into you fenders and screw into the top with part of the head light.

 

Yeah, the corners might be tricky with the new glass. The headlights have 2 bbrackets for the adjusters. I dunno. I'll try to google something in the meantime.

 

Looks to be someone that wants you the fuck out of the way on first impression...

 

01-04 corners pop into a hole on the fenders i believe.

if you want ones that just screw in then get some 95-97 ones.

But they won't line up with a 01-04 grill. so..yea..

 

Figured as much. Guess im going to have to make some mounts for Everything. Id like to make a sub frame to mount the grill, head lights and corner lights. One piece.

heres a little update...

 

thats a beastly mini!

 

Lookin killer man!


they make one piece head lights with corners for 01-04s already.

 

It wS awesome cruzing around superstition with you Jeff! The little taco rolls around just fine for sure.

Did you fix that link mount?

 

Feels like a monster truck. Im apprehensive on running spacers on the rear to get a little distance between the tires and links.

 

Its got a band aid on it now, but im considering cutting both mounts off and re doing them. I wonder if I can mount the heims vertically at the frame due to the mounts being so high against the floor of the cab.

 

Haha no, he wanted to race me or something
