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

Definitely understandable about being hesitant. I do feel like JBA would fully compensate their customers if there were any issues with the new design. I think they got it right this time though. Only time can tell.

 

New to me wheels on!

 

That style always looks good on the older trucks.

 

My kind of "self help" books.

 

Well the jacks are standing still

 

Bought it - let the build up begin.

 

There's the possibility. Gotta go through and see if it's all there

 

Added 12V to the bed of the truck (actually to the bed rack) for this puppy that arrived the other day, after @mrs.turbodb said "You should just get a fridge for the truck."

Read the story: No More Ice Runs or Wet Sandwiches - ARB Fridge

​

 

I know the eBay ones have been available for years, but I've never had those "protune" ones show up in an Amazon search until the other day. Also I just contacted Built Right and they are working on production of more first gen uniball arms and should be ready in a few weeks.

 

It is never safe to use a hydraulic jack for an extended period of time as it could fail.

You should always use jack stands as much as possible. Hell I carry two in my osk.

 

Not a problem if you're not going to be under the truck/letting it sit for a while. I would definitely go buy some if you don't have any, tho. For other, more involved work, UncleShrek.

 

Went exploring

 

Oh I know, I always use jack stands unless the truck will be up for like 2-3 minutes (usually only have one wheel off if it's that case) I have 3 in my toolbox at all times.

I spy a Prinsu rack, you should get the cabrac and join the club!

Yeah, Not totally sold on drilling into my cab yet....
I also don't think I need the extra rack space


I have room for

1 x 100w solar pannel
1 pair of TRED pros
1 box with rotopax mounted on top
1 solar shower?

Going to mount some quick fists on the sides, maybe a ditch light or two

 

Sold it today to help payoff our 2017. It was a sweet car and I really didn't want to see it go. Now I have to get aquainted with a stranger again- my kid said the new one looks sorta mean, weird and nice too- so I think I'll call it "Floki".

 

Does anyone have any thoughts on wiring two light bars to one switch. I now have two 8'' bars in the back. My first thought was to wire them to the reverse lights, but I also wanted to have them on a switch in case of the "fuck you" guy riding your ass. I wanted to hear your guys opinions on whats better!

 

Bummer

Even after 38,000 miles on my 17 PRO, I get a smile every time I climb in my Gen 1

If I was forced to make a house by the Taliban at gun point, I would sell my Pro and keep my gen 1

 

Why not do both? That's how I wired mine. Use a SPDT switch (or DPDT works and you just use one pole).

 

I wasn't aware that was an option! Do you have more info on this, also if you turn the switch on will the reverse lights come on?

 

Changed the oil today and also had to put cv in a fj cruiser and man what a bitch that was
