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

Yes, they look even better. Do it bronze on black would look killer

 

Installed a single gauge pod and VDO Viewline voltmeter. The led back lighting at night blends in well with the factory lighting. I used a single gauge pod because I did not want to lose the use of my grab handle.

Parts:
Auto Meter 15415 Single Gauge Pod
VDO A2C53191768-S Voltmeter Gauge
SEM 15813 Dark Pewter Color Coat Spray Paint

 

For sure. That color pretty much looks factory.

 

Looks awesome.

I love interior mods that keep it clean and stock looking.

 

That's Mystic Gold Metallic aka (to make it sound less wussy) Old Man Tan.

 

Appreciate the response. That's what I was going for is a factory look. That's one reason I went with the VDO Viewline white face gauge. It's a great match for the factory gauges.

 

No it's not. Mystic Gold started in '01. Before that was a different, less gold, old man tan.

 

Wow you're right. Learn something new everyday.

It's called Sierra Beige Metallic. Much tougher sounding than Mystic Gold Metallic.

 

Damn, at least now you have an excuse for a new bumper

 

I hate mud.

I hope your window was rolled up when the tires were spinning.

 

Someone did a hit and run in a parking lot left my lower bumper broken and turn light hanging. Nothing a few zipties can't fix. Ordered a lower bumper to replace it.

Light cover is black because it was rubbing on my tire and i didn't notice till i got home.

Actually not sure if it was a hit and run or that piece just broke off... because it's kinda low for something to hit it and too high for a curb.

 

Sorry to hear that. That effing sux!

 

Yeah it sucks and this was after my 3rd gen was in an accident last week and is in the repair shop. But I'm glad the lower bumper is affordable. Less than 100$

 

Where's the broken piece? You put some colorful drift-stitches on it and give it some character!

I could see it happening if a low car was parked next to you, then as they pulled out, they got too close and their wheelwell would catch your bumper and tear it maybe?

 

N E body know of a build thread to convert a donor tacoma bed to a trailer? Not finding anything right off.

 

Not a clue if it's of use to you, and it's for a 2nd gen, but it's got measurements and pics documenting the process.

Is there any one here that will be going to Rock Therapy this October?
I am looking for a someone that is going that would not mind if I joined them. I want to go but cant talk anyone into going with me.
Everyone says just go and find someone when you get there but I would rather know I had someone before I make the 1600 mile trip out there.

 

Yes. Thanks. I just found that one. That helps alot.

 

That makes sense too if a low car hit it.

Not sure where the broken piece is. the light was just dangling by the housing by the time I saw it. I'm just glad I can easily replace it. and nothing too major. I already have a truck in the shop

 

Thanks man, I really like how black contrasts it, leaves a lot of doors open paint wise.
