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

Boot slide mod.

 

LBJ bolts same part number for both sides

 

Thanks

Relocating my blinkers today in anticipation of my new bumper, got the drivers side done and about to start on the passenger side.

 

Nice! I did mine a few weeks ago.

 

Wrong thread brah.

 

Odd lookin fenders

 

Dude I am trying the pipe dope plus Teflon method now... Effing thing was still leaking...

 

Finally got around to this mod

 

The couch in the garage mod! Nice

 

My bad I thought it posted to the second gen..

 

Well I made progress on the shower system, but it probably doesn't look like much difference from last time. Anyways, hooked up the water lines inside the toolbox and mounted (kind of) the pump. I also used different fittings and both metal and neoprene washers for water tightness. I decided I wanted to see the damn thing pump water so hooked it up, and it didn't work... It was pumping but not very much. I even tried priming with a shorter hose and keeping bucket at the same height as pump... It pulled some what're but nothing to write home about.

I think my cig lighter connector isn't drawing enough power, so gonna hook up some alligator clips for direct to battery connection tomorrow, and see if that works better. I will in the next few months be hooking up a deep blue fusebox, and at that time will hard wire the pump and add a switch. Pics!

 

Dual spares complete, going to order new thicker heavier duty straps and new wheels are already ordered.

 

^^^^ looks good buddy. Im also in the process of building a double tire carrier and bed cage too.

 

Picked up a rear bumper! Older model AP rear wrap-around. Needs paint, and I got a few mods in mind for it

 

Put some of my old gear to use and did a MOLLE Gear MOD today. No more clutter in my extended cab.

 

Careful about that as it gives would be thieves a reason to break in now.

I hide everything in my under seat cubbys

 

The sliders look great. What was wrong with mounting the antenna in the rear? (Don't know anything about CB)

 

I originally had my CB antenna on my rear bumper. It barely worked. Got a magnetic antenna on my roof and SWR was basically 1:1.

CB antennas need a flat surface to help transmit. When the antenna is on the back, it has the bed rails. When its up front or on the roof, it has the hood/roof and works a lot better.

 

Mine is tuned perfectly where it sits
