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

That's a tough set of fittings to undo...

 

A line wrench might not work on those...that's a tough set! My money's on you! Send pics if you can!

 

whats taking so long? cut em off. you have spare parts.

 

Done

 

Working on my retrofit headlights, still need to add halos but here is curent progress:

 

What are the specs on those? I like em a lot, gonna redo mine

 

FTFY

No solution for the glare yet. Seen a solution on here that involves a metal shield that I liked, but was $70 and not sure it will work with the relentless low pro mounts. The bar already almost touches the windshield. I might try a black vinyl decal or make a shield myself with some plastic.

 

Got some goodies to start working on my satoshi grill. Going with the Toyota emblem from the late 60's FJ40 Cruiser with the letters spaced further apart.

 

That'll look good. Let us know how it comes out.

 

Nice buddy. What paint did you use on the shroud, accents the reflector bowl nicely

 

I got some eBay headlights and Morimoto D2s 3.0 also off eBay since they are no longer available from TRS. Shroud I used was the Apollo 3.0, still want to add 2 Morimoto Halos.

 

I did a flat black for the base, added a very light layer of rust-oleum metallic and finished off with a light coat of gloss black (very light coat) turned out better then I thought.

 

Looks good buddy

 

Thanks

 

damn $8 a lug. i paid $60 for 24 extended lugs

i didnt even own a bottle of antiseize till i got this damn truck. if have to take something off that i havent touched im gaurenteed to snap a bolt. hasnt failed yet.

 

well they werent 8$ a lug . like two something but i bought two studs, 3 lug nuts(used one for the pulling the stud in and also a pack of washers) gonna take one lug nut back today though

 

my phone saved that as a draft. i realized that after i wrote it out and wasnt gona post.

 

advanced auto parts does want 8$ a lug stud though lol. O'Reilleys was the cheapest locally. for the studs but the lugs nuts were like 3$ a piece so they were a little pricey

 

Got the windows tinted by professionals this morning after a failed attempt to do it myself. I tried DIY with Black Magic brand from an auto parts store. The reason the brand is called Black Magic is because you need to be a Wizard to install it correctly. It was worth the 350$ for lifetime warranty.

 

Looks good! What % tint?

What kind of lift do you have? We're preparing to put the 17" wheels on.
