98-00 Tacomas Only

Put this on yesterday

 

You need some sliders! Looks good, loving the contrast black & white

 

Thanks man. I have some sliders i bought a couple year's ago. I'm finally getting to it. Gonna weld them on in 2 weeks

 

Are you using wheel spacers?

I agree that the years 98-00 are the best. This is my second 00 and I love it!

 

So glad i found this thread!

 

Did you move the turn signals into the side marker case?

 

Yea I wired up some dual filament 1157 bulbs in there so I still have running lights and turn signals in the side markers

 

Out with the 285s! In with the 33s! (Dirty 3s)

 

What bumper is that?

 

Looks like a 4xInnovations

 

Yeah, it's a 4xInnovations plate bumper. They ship it bare metal, so I had it powder coated locally. It's a direct bolt on, but I'm still going to weld the end caps on the frame whenever I get a winch. I'm pretty happy with it. If I had to buy another one I would probably get a relentless fabrication. They are the most aesthetically pleasing and the most similar to the old Elite bumpers.

4xInnovations is one of the few front bumpers made that does directly bolt on. All the others require you to cut 3 inches off the frame rails and re-weld the end caps back on.

 

That's what I'm thinking. It looks like All-Pro (the turn signals) but also an Elite but the winch cutouts aren't correct.

 

Here's my supercharged '99. Still runs great! Slowly working on some new updates. Dust lights are gone now, hope to install LEDs soon.
Current setup (which seems like I've had forever!!):
- Pro Comp 4" lift kit and replaced front PC spacers and stock shocks with King coilovers adding another 1"
- Rear Bilstein 7100s and Deaver leaf pack
- Eagle Alloy 16x8 wrapped with BFG 305/70R16 MT
- Bushwacker Fender flares
- Demello sliders

 

Nice! I like how that bumper fits the front end of these 98-00's. Good to hear it is a direct bolt on as well. Thanks for the feedback

 

More pics of your camper and setup?

Here is a shot of the inside showing the kitchen drawer. I made my own drawer slides with unistrut, casters and some ply. It works really well even when it is loaded up with a couple of weeks of food.

The camper is a Callen made down in El Cajon. It is great because it is well insulated (so you can sleep in even when the desert sun hits your camper in the morning). I also like that it is a hardside so when the winds are cranking you can just sit inside and play cards. These campers are solid as shit but kind of heavy (I think mine weighs in just under 500 pounds).

Let me know if you want anymore photos..
