only_K's 1st Gen. Build

Ok. Im Kevin and I have a 1999 Tacoma PreRunner 3.4L V6 TRD OffRoad Package. Here is what it looks like.

The day that i brought it home sometime in May of 09'. It had 140k miles on it but it was in great condition.


I then put in a system and tinted the windows. 5% on the rears and 40% on the fronts
Pioneer sub, Pioneer deck, Pioneer 4-way speakers in all four spots.

Pioneer Deck

Tint

I then got a Magellan RoadMate GPS, a Magnaflow exhaust, and a CB radio.

GPS


5 x 8 x 14 Magnaflow Exhaust(its just clamped on for now until i weld it on)





Then i Put on the antenna and PA speaker for the CB. I also got new taillights and i installed spidertrax 1.5" spacers

Cobra CB


PA speaker






I also painted my center caps black and i tinted the orange part of my headlight corners and my turn signals.

Center caps(came out better than i thought)



Tinted headlights and turn signals


I then put on Hella 500FF fog lights behind the Grille. I also put fog lights in the bumper(not pictured)

Hellas

HIDs 5000k




Finally got to put on the 5100's

Set at highest setting






Painted some 2nd gen badges i got from another user.

I know this isnt how they go, but i wanted them this way.


I had an extra "Toyota" so i put it here


After minutes of debating i painted my grille black. Also took the hellas out from behind the grill. I could never aim them properly because there wasn't enough room




As it sits right now with a 2" AAL and billies at 2.5". I got tired of the CB antenna, so i took it off.

Well thank you for viewing my build! Any input is greatly appreciated!

 

Nice rig man... I love the 1st gen's.

 

Thanks! I love them too haha.

 

looks like you've been busy, seeing as how you bought it in september. looks good man

 

Oops i accidentally put in september; i guess i wasnt thinking. I actually got it in May of 09. My bad, but thanks for the input!

 

Hey man nice build up

Check out my build. You might try putting your CB radio where i have mine.
A link to my build is in my sig.

 

yea i saw that and i liked how you did it. did you have to cut into the dash? I really like that setup.

 

Yay got my HIDs! they are 5000k 35w. Just the bulb and ballast.

 

how do your HIDs work with your truck? i was thinking about getting some but heard they do not work well with 98-00 year tacomas.

 

They work just like any other HID. I have the bulb and ballast just like everyone else. Juat make sure you get the right size.

 

sorry i misworded my question. i have heard that the 98-00 year tacomas headlights, specifically the lenses do not work well with HIDs and blind oncoming drivers. someone suggested getting some clear headlights off ebay if i wanted to get HIDs. i was wondering how the HIDs perform in your truck.

 

Since iv'e had them on i have never had anyone toss their high beams at me. They work very well. much brighter than my old sylvania golds. Mine have a guard on the bottom of them which helps the light pattern stay low.

 

Back behind the cup holder a little bit, but its unnoticeable if you put the ashtray back in nobody would ever know it was there

 

Finally got to put on the 5100's
