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

I took a closer look at my faceplate this evening. I didn't realize it was going to be so deep with the flat backing plate. Its at least 1.5" What are the approximate dimensions of the front of your bracket?

 

which bumps are those (lca).

 

Looks like Wheelers Super bumps

 

They are indeed. Though I didn't think they where an option for our trucks.

 

@Blackdawg best guess what size spacers will I need to make the FJC wheels fit right? I'm planning on going up to a ~32x10.5 or 32.5x10.5in tire if that makes a difference.

 

Yeah I thought you can only get them for second gens.....

 

Those wheels are 5.5" bs. So 1" spacers get you back to stock 4.5" which is fine for a 10.5" tire.

 

Thank you!

Thats not bad. I dont want to go any wider though, 1" is about the largest spacer I'd want to run regardless.

 

Do you happen to remember the model number for that Ram bracket? Their website is so complicated and I can never find anything.

 

A small thing but I got new insert plates for the front grill and wasn't looking forward to having them color matched for black pearl.

I found this black 3M reflective tape which works nice. Sparkles and reflects.


Not as bright/white as I thought it would be but maybe better in direct headlights.

 

awe how cute

 

If your looking for crazy bright find some SOLAS tape.

 

About to pick up brand new 5100s/5125s .... For $300 , think it's a good idea or waste of money to put into my old beat up prerunner?

If I pick these up I'll be doing a 2" aal

 

Im running a pair. Got them from @bayareataco

 

how do you like them? I've been thinking about getting some myself, those or the timbren's as the OEM are horrendous

 

They are indeed Wheelers Super Bumps. And yes, they are only advertised for 2nd gens.

They hit a little sideways, and don't work perfectly, but still should do their job softening hard hits. There's a few more pictures of testing full bump with them in my build.

 

Love them...really softened up going over big bumps....i use to rub at certain spots, not anymore

 

the side mount is a panavice setup.

What have any of you bought for aftermarket travel kits, either mid or long travel or even just ones youve bought for expedition. Looking for some options.
