It'll get a Velcro band, that hair pullin metal band will never see my wrist.

 

Be sure to post pics when you get the grille installed. I think those look soooo much better than stock, but I wonder how big a pain in the keister they are to put in.

 

I have watched a few videos on youtube and it seems pretty straight forward. I think some folks might not want to take a dremel or air saw to their grill but I don't mind. The other thing is you have to glue and space the TOYOTA or TACOMA letters yourself. So a beer, a few smokes, and plenty of patience to measure three times and get proper spacing is the key. I'll post photos when I get the mod done. Here is a video if you are curious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqnCCM4agl4

 

Installed a URD Short Shifter I scored off craigslist! Buttery smooth shifts now, Amazed how much it decreases the throw.

 

Yeah, and truthfully, if it were easier to do, we'd likely see a TON more of them on the road. I've never seen one myself. The amount of work is more than most people are willing to put into the job, but the rarity of them adds to the appeal.

 

+2 on this, been lovin mine ever since putting it in.

 

I posted the below earlier today. Maybe it'll help you out with attaching the letters.

I truly dislike both of you @TheNatural and @Up2NoGood for encouraging chrome.

I highly approve of this hill your truck is going down!

Welcome to the site! Your wallet and wife are going to hate you once the mod bug bites lol

 

Installed a ImMrYo rear view bracket last night, talk about a difference in being able to see out the front now...

Cali Raised Ditch Light Brackets will be in today along with some 3x2 LED Pods.
Also got in my Blue Sea 12 Fuse Block and 285 Series 100A Circuit Breaker last night to go on the Pelfrybilt bracket...

Ordered a set of EGR side window visors for the front and backs yesterday and should be in tomorrow.

Also, hoping to have in the three switches I ordered from OTTRATW next week as well...

Going to be a fun weekend wiring up the Ditch Lights and the Fuse Block and all of that mess.

 

Just got my bluesea setup completed last week.........

 

Got mine back after universal joints were replaced. It rides soooo much better now. 170k miles and going strong.

 

Tinted the front windows today.

Factory was 70%. Added 30% tint.

Rears are still the factory 26-27%.

 

Got new (to me) rims. OR 3rd gen, next tires to buy lol.

 

Windows tinted and cap painted and installed before and afters.

After

 

@Kyitty and @Eagle keeper what percentage did y'all go with?

 

Any1 used that tinted vinyl on a black depo light set?

 

Finished my shift knob for now.


And then there's this...

 

35% front and Limo all around

 

Looks good. Why'd you paint the cap black?

 

I went with 30% tint on the front. They are 70% from factory. Since VLT isn't simply an addition issue we are thinking it should put me close to the 24% legal limit.

Rear windows are 26-27% from factory.
