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

Added roof rack, basket and light bar.

 

Lot's of nice 98-00 been posted up the past couple days. I'm liking this

 

Classing her up

 

I need to do this. Came out of a limited 4runner right?

 

Yeah..2003 limited 4 runner. Just ordered the parts straight from toyota. Took about 30 min to install hooked up the the dome lights.

 

Man I tried to do that and it was a disaster. Still is lol. Yours looks good

 

It was pretty hard to get it all back together once the new pieces were in...seemed like my key cylinder was too high. Had to push as hard as I could. The wiring was simple though thanks to this site.

 

Anybody know if there is a TW code @ Camelback right now?

 

TWpartz

 

P0302 Again, err, still. Guess I'll swap coil packs and see if it follows. Maybe tonight on lunch I'll go swap them.

 

Was lighted key ignition not an option for the Tacoma after a certain year ? My 97 has it but I don't think my 96 4runner has it

 

Something else to add to the list

 

my 95.5 sr5 had this stock.

 

I don't think it was on the 2001-2004 tacomas

 

So I've had my pickup going on about 10 years now and I had always been very pleased with how it looked until about a month ago. Something in me just wanted a cleaner look and something that would turn some heads and who knows... maybe even get a compliment or two. Anyways, I started researching grills to find one that would suit me and what I was looking for. I came across this beaut and loved the look it had, so I bought it.

When it showed up I couldn't wait to get started and then the fun/exciting/frustrating work had to begin. It was pretty straight forward; cut out the center of the factory grill and replace it with the new one. Although, this would become the more frustrating part of the mod. There was some tricky corners and I made the dumb decision to get the cordless dremel and that cost me about 2 or three hours of time.

Once on my pickup, I was pretty stoked about it and then I was a picture of a new tacoma that had this american flag TACOMA lettering on the grill and I thought to myself, "Now I need to do that!" Soooooooo I started out just painting the lettering white and thought about just leaving it like that and not messing around anymore. and well as you can see I couldn't not go ahead with the original plan. A long night of meticulously taping and painting and measuring and boom! it was finished. I personally think its pretty bad ass.

Thought I'd share it with you all.

 

Thanks, that worked!

 

Damn hombre, that looks great. Now I'm gonna need you to make one for me with the flag of 'The Land of the Rising Sun'.

 

Haha yaaaa... about that.

 

Hahahahaha.... A man can dream, right? Lol

 

C'mon man, it'll be easy. All white and a red circle in the middle, lol
