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

What is this "emission" stuff you guys keep talking about?...

 

Look at his first pic. Theres a sticker in the glass that says "Colorado emission exempt vehicle".

Looks like the type of thing that would go on a Prius.

 

Added some Turd stickers. They are bigger than the originals... And the backing it was on stuck to the sticker more than the sticker did to the paint. A pain. Glad that's over with. And yeah I know they're crooked ...

But I get to get new tires this weekend! Finally get to stop driving around with 3 rugged terrains and one KO2.

 

I saw the sticker... I was kidding, Illinois doesn't do emissions testing.

 

Is that like a mag grey linex type of textured color?!

 

I really need to get new stickers. Maybe I should find a full time job, even though I have college.

 

If you had not mentioned it, i dont think anyone would have thought they were crooked.

Why would you like to work at ________ ?

Mods bro, mods.

 

You mean the paint on the truck? It's plastiderp. Anthracite grey.

Well if you get them on ebay, don't get them from dailywatchdeals. They use some sort of clear sticker backing instead of the usual paper kind. And it's hella sticky. It was almost impossible to pull it off without the decal pulling off of the paint too. What should have been a 5 minute job took 30 minutes.

I had to point it out before someone else did

 

Plastidip! Doesn't look like it lol!

 

I'll take that as a compliment to my mad skillz

 

It definitely looks good, I wanna repaint my truck cause its scratched to shit. But I fear if I plastidip it, it will just scrape off when I inevitably go to scratch it again. Whereas with paint I can at least clay bar and wax a couple times before its busted. Love the color you have a lot though.

 

That's my biggest concern too. I think the next time it goes on the trails (probably not long after I get my KO2s) it might not fare too well when it comes in contact with limbs and branches. We'll see though.

 

It doesn't really ride too badly. Much better with weight in the back actually. No weight up front except for the 4x4....I had plans for a bumper and skid, but that went by the wayside when the wife quit her job right after finding out she was pregnant.....

edit: mine are threaded....

 

Huh, mine was rough over bumps and stuff. It got better once I added my bumper but its still too stiff for me. Going Kings soon

 

I'm gonna crank em down. I just don't want to lose any lift...lol

 

Lol! Yeah it looks really good!

 

Do any of you guys have LED headlights? Does the 1st jen even accept them? I am looking for a brighter headlight and wanted some LED ones. But can't find one that fits. I want to keep the original housing just replace the bulb.

 

@LSC15

 

@jkirkpatrick what rear bumper do you have?

 

I bought a pair of philips led h4 bulbs a couple of months ago. They nice and bright and pretty white. You need to buy an LED load resistor like like from superbrightleds.com and plug it on the passenger side headlight wiring harness between the bulb and the led box so that the high beam light on the dash works and lights go out after you shut the driver's door if you left them on. The led load resistor is plug and play has the same connectors as the headlight bulb. Been pretty happy with them. There's a review of them under the products review forum here on tacomaworld. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/philips-led-h4-headlight-bulb-review.392854/
