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

Where did you get those bulbs? Are they a 194 size?

 

Those are the V3 Triton switchbacks. Pretty pricey too I'm afraid to say. I can't remember what I told myself to justify them but they work great and they better last forever.

Edit: Oh, and you have to dremel out the plastic a little for them to slide in. I also added some silicon sealant to keep them dry.

Here is a pic of how I modified the pods. The VLEDs come with metal ring and you just dremel out inside the ring like a template.

 

Thanks, those look great.

 

@Tommy Tacoma

There's actually another step once you finish the dremel. This is possibly optional if you use the silicon gasket material. I used the screws in the bulb and notched the hole. If you put paint on the screws you can see where to notch.



Here is a pic with the silicon added:

 

I fixed my excessive blinker/corner marker fluid issue...

Also got rid of one more large piece of chrome in the process...

Now the only big piece of chrome left is the rear bumper, which will hopefully be replaced sooner than later!

 

Liking the emblem.

 

Finally got it installed four months later. I got it from BH3D Printing back in October. Guess I owe him some pics now, and some plugs for his products!
Thanks Brad!

I changed my fuel filter, got a big drop of gas in my eye..I dont know when it was changed last so now I know for sure!

 

Tried to find the picture but mine was clogged with black goop. Not even 100k miles yet.

 

Guys I need some advice because my upper and lower ball joints are tired in my 2002 4x4 v6 tacoma.

Goals for the truck would be a "mid travel" expo type build. I already have dakars and have plans for a ubolt flip and shock relocation in the rear. Im not even 100% sure which bilstein shock I have and its an allpro spring in the front. Also plan on extended coilovers eventually.

What to do about the lowers? Better option than ball joints?
Should I just upgrade to tc ucas now?

 

Cool thanks for the link. I saved it!

 

Off topic, but is your avatar Mac Dre?

 

200 buck later (time-sert) and now it's fix. now what to do with a $200 tool.

 

You keep it for next time you need a $200 tool. See I just saved you another $200.

 

lol yeah paper weight until the next hole strip.

 

Just send it my way.

 

Nope. Keep the OEM lbjs. Do NOT get parts store ones. Pay the extra for real Toyota OEM ones.

If you're going for mid travel then go for TC uniballs and extended travel coilover.

 

Took running boards off from when I got mine, working on getting some Bilstein 5100 adjustables. HAve a set of weld sidewinders (16s) on a set of 265/75/r16 BFG KO2s. INstalled a double din Clarion head unit with an Alpine amp and MB Quart 8in shallow mount subs.

 

this one had iced tea looking stuff coming so it cant hurt anything to have changed it
