What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Love your new bumper How hard was it to fabricate the old bumper?
Thanks in advance!!!

 

It wasnt too bad. I used a dremel to cut out the center section. But then switched to just a hand held saw with a fine blade. More control and no burning.

 

New sticker and coated the undercarriage with Fluid Film.

Thanks for the quick response! Forgot to ask, how much additional weight was added? Did your front end sag? Thanks again!

 

Installed a 4500K morimoto HID from TRS

 

Good place to buy your tacoma!

 

I kept forgetting to check the compass zone setting on my rear view mirror. I finally checked it and it was set to zone 8. I'm in zone 10 so now it's correct

It's in the manual: http://www.ttguide.net/compass_vehicles_with_auto_anti_glare_inside_rear_view_mirror_-120.html

 

5100's went on.
1" up in the front. The ride is much nicer and more controlled than the bouncy original shocks.

 

from mesa. when is where is this happening. would be cool everyones truck in person.

 

It's an 82 sr5 cali emissions truck no ac or ps. No rust ever! Doing a full restoration on it whenever my project car is done.

 

What springs did you use up front? Which model 5100? What setting are they on?

 

3rd gen 5100s. Middle notch (1.1")
Stock SR5 springs.

 

Where did you get the hood sticker from?

 

Ok...what did you do? Because I want to tint my headlights and tail lights.

 

No only chrome left is the rear bumper which is coming off as soon as my armor shows up. But I'm weird so I painted the emblem neon green just for shits and giggles.

 

There's a while thread on the headlights. Well worth reading through.

Looks great! While the recommended lowest temp is 60, the absolute lowest is 49 so the should be fine.

 

What velcro did you use to get your patches to stick to the headliner? I have tried my different types with limited success...

Went to a friends tree place and picked up a couple x-mas trees. Dad (camera man) was a little upset there wasn't any slippage.
