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

I just figured out yesterday that the headrests have tilt adjustment on those. Who knew.

 

For those complaining about the seats I installed Wet Okoles with the lumbar support in them and it made a world of difference. Before I could only put about 5 hours behind the wheel before I was in pain. Since then I've put 14hrs straight in and could have kept going if I could have stayed awake. I have the 60/40 bench fwiw

 

It was cheaper to swap seats than to buy wet okoles and still have zero side bolster support.

 

This is true. But do new seats come with a sweat cc spot?

 

That sounds dirty. But by having buckets I could carry in my nice shiny center console.

 

Do these fold out far enough forward to gain access to the back seats?

 

I know you have one too..i would rock one of those i think now. Might be an odd change for Frankenstein but still be cool.

 

Yes

 

Only real complaint is there is no support for parts. Most is pretty easy to make your own from the hardware store but it the lift springs decide to break I'm not sure where I'd be able to source them.

 

can't sub in lift supports? I have no idea how they work in terms of the mechanics of it.

I find it sad they went out of business. I think they started back up they would make a killing with the current rage of expo/overland BS so long as it was less then a flip back and not too much more then a RTT. Some RTT are well over 2k now days.

 

Got the new grille installed and lights hooked up..

 

@Fishmoose Nice. Your truck looks clean.

 

Finally added the two additional mounting rails to the RTT and got it back on the truck!

Camping the next three nights in the mountains!

 

So tall..haha

 

Goddammit, Monte, I knew you were gonna say that! Not everyone takes the corners like you and Frank

It's AP's fault! The new hotness bed rack concept is gonna have to wait for the off-season.

 

had too. Im slightly jealous due to easy of access and packing........buuuuuutttt then i rememeber i like life in the fast lane..err...dirt lane

 

Removing my 30 dollar ebay special lightbar today. I Discovered Im not the first to attemped to take it off

I filled all the bolt holes in with red loctite. Looks like some would-be criminals attempted to gouge it out with a screw driver and gave up.
Loctite: 1
Criminals: 0

 

I like that. Simple and effective.

But how did you get it out? Razor?

 

Just needed a small punch and a little patience. With a little more time scraping they probably could have made off with it but they may have realized their own stupidity. Or broke their tool. If I invest in some worthwhile lighting Ill have to get more creative with my security measures.

 

nah thats a good way to do it. Keeps them at bay long enough to the point where it could become obvious they shouldn't be there. Pretty cool.
