Eltacos Taco

The night I brought her home.



Stickers were off before I went to bed.

Debadged except for.



Some custom wiring with the front lights:
Anytime fogs
Switched the turn-signal plugs from 3156 to 3157 to enable "switchback" LEDs.



Since then I have added some LED DRLs and 5000 kelvin "high/low" H4





Video "Walk-through" of the LEDs and lights installed so far.

Turn signals low "white" illumination now has a wig-wag function. Useful when someone is slow in the fast-lane. Controlled by a on-off-momentary switch.



Started with a rocker for my anytime fog mod and ended up using some stainless steel push-button switches. Top one illuminates the fogs, bottom turns on my DRL LEDs.



Billet piece of aluminum that I drilled and tapped for the shifter.



Bakflip G2




White LED dome lights. The front "map-lights" illuminate white with the dome. Push them and they illuminate red, to preserve night vision.


Red and white on at the same time


Red LED rear turn-signals



PLX used with the "Torque" app on my Droid X2



Center console pocket lit with an orange LED and armrest storage lit with a white LED. Three white LEDs in the gear indicator location. Wired to the dash dimming circuit.





White LEDs mounted to the fender to give turn-signal indication to the person in my blind spot.

As you can see my "BUILD" is mostly lighting based. Cheapest mods that can be done while still making payments. In the future I want to pick up either a custom "plate" bumper or crash bars. Lift kit, rims/tires. Weld up a "headache bar" that will allow the Bakflip G2 to clear. When my budget provides I want to buy a few sets of Rigid Industries off-road lights. My goal is for the truck to be more of a sand crawler and not a rock crawler.


Thanks for viewing, I know my truck doesn't stack up against to the other "Taco's" in this forum, but I am trying.

Fender bender at the gas station. I have the passenger fender and flare on order (pre-painted) and instead of getting a new factory bumper I ordered the ARB with winch mount.

 

Off to a very nice start! That's one thing I never took enough time to do was put more lighting on my truck even though its pretty cool. I really like the side blinkers for when you've got peeps in your blind spot. Keep it up

 

Thank you for looking.

I have been browsing through the other builds and have some serious ideas and can't wait for the $ to come into play. I am going to keep with the "Pre-Runner" theme. Biggest expense is going to be the aluminum plate bumper. I think I am only going to put a lift in the front to bring the truck back to level after the weight is added up front.

 

sick build. Gotta love purposefull lighting. those must have been fun to wire up. Look forward to what the future holds

 

I like your light setup a lot. Very good work. I think I'm going to have to do that switchback mod now that I've seen this.

 

Bump for updated lights and added video clips.

 

ARB bumper installed and 2" lift out front to compensate for the weight of the plate bumper.

 

Awesome Truck!

 

Thanks Dez, Sent you a PM about some of my lighting. Hope I can help out.

 

Nice truck. Switches look good.

 

Bump for added Doug Thorley Headers and URD Y-pipe.
