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

Daaayyyuuuummmm, love it! You're not wasting any time on your build are ya? Very nice

 

Been waiting a long time for all my mods, glad to finally get them done.

 

Oh had you waited? Didn't realize, awesome to see so much done so quickly. Jelly bro.

 

Got the CEL read. P302 Cylinder #2 misfire... Just had the knock sensors replaced so hopefully when it was torn apart it was from that. Will look at tomorrow. While I was waiting for the engine to cool, got tired of looking at the faded fender flares... Busted every damn clip for them Doing Duplicolor bed armor on them tomorrow. Gotta order some new clips and weather stripping tonight. Better before and after pics later.

 

Tundra upgrade is on my short list once the Icons and suspension work is done.

 

Shiny parts and vibrant colors.

 

I reprogrammed my new door lock remote. So nice to have one again.

 

Sound deadened my doors and new speakers!

 

Eventually I will do both of those.

 

Interior is 90% back together. Went for a drive and picked up a trail spare driveshaft for 100 bucks.

I can report @Blackdawg tac weld made some great improvements for my highway driving. Tracking was alot smoother and the "no steer zone" at dead center is pretty much gone so far as I can tell.

Also the ole girl hit the big 200 tonight.

Havent decided how I feel about the gauge leds yet. Theres alot of glow/ light pollution that comes through the sides and under the needle. Love the color but I think they're too powerful.

 

That pic is them on the lowest dim setting too. Might just swap back to the stock bulbs. Had no problem with the orange I just like the color blue

 

Nice shaft

 

Why not try a non-LED blue 194 bulb if it's too bright? I was thinking of doing the blue LED dash lights but the pictures I see, they do look super-bright.

 

(In my best Butthead voice) 'Uhhhh, hu hu hu, huhu. Thanks dude, glad you like my shaft. Uhhhh hu hu hu, shut up Beavis.'

 

Did you have to do the sequence of door opening/closing and ignition turning? lol

 

Glad you like the white. Thats what i was gonna do also...well thats what ive been telling myself i wanna do for the past 2 years but too lazy to tear apart the dash for the 5th time

 

Its not so much that they're hard on my eyes its that these leds put out alot of light compared to the stockers.

Could be worth a try but I think a straight up bulb would be just as intense. The stock bulbs have these orange condom cap things over then to give it that mellow orange tint. Im wondering if theres any way to do that with a blue cap.

 

Must be nice.

 

Took pictures of the barely used Oak colored floor mats from my old 2001 4dr in anticipation of putting them on the sell forum.
