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

Yeah like Firstgen Jer said...I would use a heat gun to apply it as well to help get a better bond!

 

My bank account doesn't approve of the UCA GB. However I do, link??

Its a good deal I had to hop on it adios ball joint uppers!

 

only a couple factory's out there that cut gears anyway. Nitro, Yukon, ect are usually the same product made in korea and imported.

 

Nor had I until approached with an offer. Revolution is run by the former VP of Superior Gears. Double lapped, 2 yr warranty, same manufacturer of Yukon gears.

 

Added flush mount 2x3 pods to rear bumper and wired in to reverse with a relay, also turned 80k today on the way to work!

 

Looks good, I'll be doing the same thing this weekend. Also noticed someone backed into my bumper and it has a little dent now but luckily it's in the right spot for the lights so a win for me. Haha

 

Once I got over the fact that I had to cut holes in the bumper it went smooth. I need to add a switch to them next, but its too cold right now lol

 

decided to take my winch off the multi mount i had it on and hard mount it in the bumper to make more tool box room. up until 3 am today working on it. turned out ok, not overly happy with it and the pictures make it look better than it is. oh well, the damage is done and it already happened. ill let you guys decide.

 

Was that your only option?

 

Yeah mine is painted so it's a bit scarier to cut into but since I've added two dents since owning it I'm not worried about it. Plus I can't see shit out the back with my shell on.

I really like the look of your winch incorporated into the stock bumper. Its a rarity. I applaud your individuality by not doing what everyone else is doing. You have the advantage of not adding so much extra weight to the front end.

 

Yeah that was my main reason for adding them. With the topper you can't see anything. 40$ worth of ebay lights and an hour of work makes a huge difference.

 

I like it and think it looks clean but am concerned on what it's mounted on. What kind of crossmember/hardware do you have going on back there? Because if it's the stock bumper bar I hat to say it but that shit's going to fold up/get ripped out pretty easily.

 

Thanks! ive always been a fan of trying to keep it a stock look as much as possible.

i used a trail gear front bumper reinforcement and then a trail gear winch plate so the only stock part is the bumper, purely for looks.

Been playing with this lately..
Our new family car.. and it just so happens to have a version 8 jdm sti motor

 

I miss my Foz quite often. It wasn't a powerhouse by any means, but it was a fun car with a ton of space in the back for long rock climbing trips. Ain't no way the Tacoma is making those same long hauls...
