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

Did you mean 98? 96 and 97 are the same.

 

Maybe I'll luck into a color matched one soon

 

So does that mean you're keeping the truck?

 

Well mine has glass lights and the other are plastic and bigger

 

Updated bottom of platform(for dogs) shelves with some storage pouches, good for first aid kit and winter gloves etc.

 

Here's platform lid down to show full platform. it's a two piece so the back can come off. did the backing to keep dog hair/dryer to a minimum on interior stuff

 

Didn't so this today but a while ago, charger for my flashlight. bracket made from small piece of aluminum screwed to side of console. wires ran underneath to minimize the wire mess. Works good, like it's ease of location, thought it be in way of leg but actually isn't.

 

have anybody used any of the sylvania etc for their headlight bulbs? Just looking for more output. Not talking about ricer blue lights.

There just seem to be SO many options for the 01-04 that is mighty confusing

 

Lots of options and equally as many opinions.

I put a set of these in recently:

Very happy with them. Much better than the ~$20 Sylvanias. I wouldn't buy the higher end sylvanias due to much shorter life.

 

How much of an improvement over stock you would say ?

 

They're 126% as bright, and distance is improve by at least 57 feet.



In all seriousness, I don't know how to answer that question. I don't even know what came in there stock. I've tried various different bulbs, and for the price, I'm happy with the Osrams.

So, they're better.

 

Ya man 1st gen all the way. Glad I didn't trade it

 

I still think you should do it. Your doors are hard to open because your key is worn out.

 

appreciate it

 

I'm sure it's already been posted, but yes, the dealer can make a new key with you supplying the VIN.

 

I bought the Sylvania Ultra something-somethings when they were on sale. Think I paid $18 for the pair of bulbs.

They are really bright compared to stock.

I installed them in Dec 2013. *knock on wood* still going.

 

do you know what the something something is?

too many models. prices are all over the place

 

I honestly don't. Quick google search isn't jogging my memory but it could be the Sylvania Ultra Silverstar? I don't know, they all sound familiar looking at them.

I just know they are super bright white and a helluva lot brighter than stock. My initial worries would be that they burn out in less than a year but, like I said, I'm on year 3 right now.

 

Silverstar ultras.
