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

New tires....my build is comming along.
Next project is painting wheels and satoshi.

 

Wow!

 

wow x2. what size tires pls..

just my opinion, but I'd leave the rims stock silver. The contrast looks awesome against the green.

 

285 75 16...ko2s. They are so much more quite and smooth than my old toyo AT's

I know...I am starting to really like thw stock rims!

How about the same red decal on the silver? Or dupi color stencil some green TRD logos on the wheels?

 

Those wheels look sweet

 

What do you guys think of this rear bumper ? It's my first fab project and it was a learning experience. I think it turned out pretty nice.

 

Well done, bud!

 

I like it. Id try and tuck the side bars up and in a bit more personally. And tie them to the frame for strength. But sweet first go!

 

Agreed, Looks like it can get hung up

 

Thanks man. I really tried to but I'm still learning the ways of the harbor freight cheep tube bender. You think I could cut and re weld them? I plan on adding some supports

 

Nice job!

I did the same thing, though with the intention of building my bumper around it.

 

thats my thoughts as well. eventually i want to build a bumper like the low profile trail gear tube bumper. really like the way they look, and more strength than a stock bumper

 

Gonna be (Hopefully) installing my TC cam tab gussets tomorrow, should I put anti-seize on the bolt shaft when I reinstall the LCA bolts?

 

Anti-seize is like a security blanket. If it helps you sleep at night, snuggle up.

 

I just don't want the bolt to seize up in the sleeve, it sounds like it may be semi-common.

 

Gotcha. On my rig the cam tabs weren't too bad, it was the tie rods that required an oxy torch.

 

Yea tricky for sure. Idk what the radius is on that bender. But yea Jess you could cut it and re weld it.

 

My Tacoma so far looking for aftermarket parts in South Carolina

 

One step closer to Overland rig! New tires and wheels.

 

Placed my roof rack on my truck so I can image it on there since school is keeping me from installing it
