Jared's slow build

Removing the pinstripes encouraged me to take off all the badges too. no one knows its a tacoma now...

 

hows it going matt

 

Pretty good man, how about you?

I'm still waiting to buy coils as my frame replacement will be done who knows when with the current delays..either the 885xs or the newer 2.5 inch longer eibach coils..

You take off your swaybar with the 884xs on there? Hows the ride if so?

 

Ah, you're getting your frame replaced?? And nice, in retrospect I wish I got the 885s. Looking a little low up front.

Nope, I still have the sway bar with the 884s. Worried I'd rub too much.. I've considered doing it multiple times though

 

There's a poll in here?? 6 speed FTW

 

haha yeah, seeing what people think.. Just wish my truck was a manual, but real back seats would be nice too

 

I voted dcsb, but I'd need the bed space of the 6 foot too...I'd have a work truck maybe

 

Yeah thats the problem, don't know if I can get used to that shorter bed.. Too bad you can't get a manual DCLB

 

So much @Toyota for the stupid stuff they do.

 

Combo breaker vote...

Although... I also wish I had a MT 6speed.
Bed wise it all comes down to what you haul, I couldn't live with a short bed.
The long bed is already a bit short. And the DCLB would be a pain on our narrow trails.
Biased cheers for AC's, great looking truck man.

 

I wish I had a 6 speed too. The problem is I haul a dirt bike, sometimes multiple dirt bikes. Don't think that set up would be too easy with a short bed. It would also be too stupid to get rid of this to get another AC with a 6 speed...

Thanks though, you've got a nice AC too!

 

Little teaser for what's to come. Did bhlm and retrofit with my buddy on his 2013.. I should be doing the same thing here in the next couple of days.

 

Nice! I want to retrofit, but not sure of the paint scheme I want to do yet. All black, or black and some colormatched

 

Finished up my projectors! Pretty pumped how they turned out.

 

hell yeah, looks great!

 

Yeah man they turned out pretty good for kind of rushing.. Just glad its over with, thats for sure.

 

Wow looks good man, how was adjusting them and first putting them in the bowl?

 

Putting them in the bowl was easy, you just put a silicone washer in the bowl, feed the projector through the bowl and put a washer and a locking nut on the back.

For adjusting them I left the lens off the headlights and just made sure the projectors were straight. Last night I realized they were pointing way too low so I found a wall, parked 25 feet away from it and adjusted them.

 

haha now you make me want to sell the fxr's and go the mini route, such a smoother straight forward install.
