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

I have the fj 17s there awesome not many 1st gens running em I did have to use 1/4 spacers to keep from rubbing my uca's but as long as you don't go any thing wider then a 10.5 you should be good

 

Looks good!

Do you know the actual difference in the offset of those wheels vs the stock 1st gen wheels?

 

Not sure i know the fj' have less offset tho

 

What app is that?

 

Funny you guys are talking about this, a guy came up to me today and offered me 13K. Out of nowhere, I don't even have a for sale sign. He has been looking for one that is built up, and really enjoyed what I have done! I will not be selling my truck, as it is so great, but good to know for the future!!

 

You can get to the light by just opening the glovebox

 

How does your CB sit to far in?

 

Washed and waxed today

It may not be a plug and play deal with you. I looked in my '96 and there is no plug for the light on the wiring harness, at least that I could easily see. It may have only been included with passenger air bag wiring harness trucks.

FWIW the glove box light is out of a 3rd gen 4Runner.

 

This USB plug is way rad, where did you pick it up?

Oh, Bob's very popular Ed. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, waistoids, dweebies, dickheads--they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude."

 

Ok, two updates:

So...meep meep before...



And after....



It took a lot longer than I expected...note the lack of daylight.

And secondly, new skids!

Before:


After:

 

There isn't one. But, it's fairly simple to make and add your own.

 

I don't have the glove Box light and every time this subject arises I always think I'll add one.

Then I think, "I've never missed it or wish I had it in my 17 years of owning this truck."

Then I forget about it until the next time people start talking about it.

 

This. Though because of my stature it's difficult to work in tight places so I removed the door/box since it's only 2 screws.

Combo of 90* fitting, melting the duct work behind, and a whole lot of wiggling/adjusting when putting the whole piece back in. Basically when the entire bezel ofr the hvac/radio comes out, so does my CB sine that's what it's mounted to.

Had to make the stock holes just a smidge bigger with my hole saw kit to get them to fit.

 

Ah, so you did a lot more work than I did to get mine in. Haha. Looks good though!

 

Big lesson I learned was don't use a map gas torch to try to melt the duct work. WAY to hot.

 

Ha! Yeah I bet! I'll probably just leave mine how it is. It sticks out about an inch

 

Could I put a four wheeler in the bed of my truck and have the back tires on the tailgate WITHOUT bending it to crap?
