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

I saw it and I was like wtf? lol

 

Some sites say limited means power windows and locks. Others say power lumbar leather seats.

I don't think Toyota knows what limited means

 

A step further than that, I'm pretty sure insurance providers have no clue either. I have an SR5 power nothing open/open no ABS or traction control. I told my insurance this... they still list me as a limited SR5. That isn't even a thing..

 

Toyota probably just said to group them all together because nobody knows what package is what haha.

 

Energy Suspension steering rack bushings and new CVs.

 

My insurance just has me listed as a Toyota Pickup, same with my registration.

 

Yeah bash fab did pretty good on them lol

 

Pics of the bumper mounting plates?

 

In regards to package and what was included, this here tells you.

That'll cover '01-'-04. I don't have a link to earlier years, and I think the packages were slightly different then.

 

Took bull bar, bed rails, and nerf bars off. Also got new headlights, corner lights and turn signal lights. Still have a lot of work to do to it.

 

I bought new brake tubes when I installed the steel braided lines in front.

Those two pieces are $7 from the dealer. I would just replace them.

 

Managed to get the winch and prolink installed yesterday before the snow hit. Also blacked out the grill and corner lights and installed a stubby antenna (a little too short, but oh well). Haven't showed off the ditch lights and light bar yet, so here it is. Pretty happy with how the build is coming along at this point.

 

What bumper is that?

 

It was built by my buddy @3378jakesr5.

 

Hey man! Nice bumper on @alee891 's truck!

 

Thank you!

 

It's pretty crazy to see just how light these trucks are.

 

Especially 4x2, 4cylinders. With a good amount of highway driving, decent fuel economy is actually possible.

can't say the same for 4x4, V6s

I doubt it. Curb weight is typically all fluids and a full tank of gas. The only things that might be missing would be anything in the storage compartments. The only variation in weight might be if you have power everything over manual everything, but I can't imagine that'd add much.

 

A couple days ago my roommate was told to throw away a bunch of boxes at work, when he opened one up he found this brand new microscope case inside. So he ended up bringing the whole lot home and let me have one of them.



It will replace the ammo can behind my driver's seat as my toolbox/storage space. It's lighter and larger but still leaves enough room to slide my seat back.









The nicest thing about the case is the interior; it has a Velcro liner with straps and pockets so the stuff inside won't rattle around anymore. It can also be locked for a little bit of added security.







For now the ammo can will stay on the passenger side until I can find another place for it, or until I have to fit a human back there.
