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

Thank you. Trying to figure out the damn bushings took me forever and I kept having to run across the street to use a neighbors vise that was much better than mine. Was able to do the other control arm in less than an hour

I agree. His whole series is super helpful.

 

I have a design for a mid skid/belly skid design just needs actual dimensions and then the parts

 

Updated my acoustics today, good lord I can’t believe I waited this long. Speakers and sound deadening are next

 

3rz vs 5vz not different?

 

Not for a skid plate

 

Gotcha

 

Lots of nice gusseting though. And, if you bang the IFS skid on the rocks to get them out of the way, then the transfer case one goes pretty much untouched. At least, that's my experience, hahaha!

 

Hey did you get this figured out? I would like my dash lights to come on when I put it in 4 low 4 high etc I have a pre runner conversion like you

 

People do entire custom truck builds in half that time. Absolutely no reason a bumper should take 6 months to a year especially if you have the jig already made for it. I would never ever wait that long. Totally rediculous

 

Havent decided. I might spray it black myself or cough up the money to get it painted gold. It doesnt look all that bad white either..

 

Bedline it, I know products like Monstaline and I think Raptor line have colors, might be able to match one up close enough or just do black.

DONT do Herculiner though, it fades super fast.

 

Personally I don't like most of the color-matched toppers. Makes the vehicle just look like a 4 runner. I like the contrast myself.

 

Reminds me of when I did mine minus the stripped bolts. Never thought the belt would be that much of a PITA haha

 

It's all there - that is the schematic for it. This is for a j-shift transfer case though I don't know if it'll be the same for the push button 4WD t-cases. You'll have to make a custom gauge face to illuminate the 4HI/4LO and only if you don't have ABS or a RR DIFF LOCK. I don't have those so I'm using those sockets.

 

Where did you get the grill?

 

Way better!!

 

I put one of these on my truck,. Very nice product!

 

Any pics handy to post?

 

I have one of Ethan's skids. 7 gauge stainless.

 

From the one and only @HomerTaco and I added the tacoma emblem and color matched it and the corner lights
