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

I just ran two the parts store and picked up a multi use bulb housing? I think it's probably called something different, but it's just a self ground socket with two power inputs one for the blinker and one for the running light, super easy to install I just had to trim around the back of the corner lights.

 

Keywords. I see a lot of people talking about how they want expos or other springs that are designed to carry a constant load while providing lift that simply are not carrying a constant load. Sure, they may eventually have a plate bumper/bed rack/rtt in over a year, but really a cheap set of springs will work just as good while they're saving up the $2k+ to be turn their truck into a interweb certified expo rig, then buy springs designed for what you need. A little more expensive in the long run but overall a better setup.

 

I'm just surprised he said pulling a couple leafs was a lot of work. That's an easy way to reduce the lift and still have strong springs ready to go when he's got the weight.

 

Wrapped up my 4wd conversion by fixing the output shaft seal in the transfer case. Was leaking.

 

Benefits for having no kids, a truck paid for, power bill and Internet bill don't worry about food I see a squirrel or a deer eating the farmers crops free meat.

 

Damn...that is way too much weight.

Care to post one more? Pleeaase!

Im tempted....shipping is gonna be a bitch. ..but im down

 

I didn't buy them directly from BAMF I actually got them off Craigslist lol

 

What's different lol

 

Not buckets, Like normal single seats.

Also anyone have experience with the por-15? I need to paint my frame a bit and I plan on doing it with the body still on. But idk how much I need

 

Mine hang down a little more due to my body lift idk if that makes a difference

 

Sooooo, like these....



or these...



I might have done a few seat swaps.... what do ya need to know?

 

In my area people don't know how to drive a manual transmission lol

 

Both of those are good. I'm just tired of these 60/40's and wondering how hard it would be.

 

That looks great dude

 

Thanks it wasn't as bad as I feared. But we just cut all the bolts off since we were replacing them with grade 8s. But it took me, my brother, and a friend. 7-8 hours that's including a trip to the hardware store and a pizza run.

 

If you can weld, it's pie. Got the leather ones done in an afternoon before work. If you cannot weld, then you'll need to find 3rd Gen 4Runner seats or seats from another 1st Gen taco that are single. You can play rail swap on the 3rd Gen runner seats and make em fit or cut and weld like i did. Keeping in mind that the rail on the 60 side of a 60/40 is lower on the seat than on a single seat so if you weld that mount on it'll have to shimmed up a bit to be level. I can explain this with more pics and better wording if needed.

 

So those are not bucket seats?

 

That's why I used pictures, I think we had a bit of a term mismatch. Hopefully the pics cleared it up lol
