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

has anyone seen someone throw a 01-04 front bumper on a 99?

 

Got my alcans in today! They took just over a month to get they must be busy this time of year.

 

The only thing I have been thinking about lately if finishing my damn truck so I can take it to some trails... I talked to my banker who is friends with the master mechanic at the new toyota dealer, he's gonna get me in contact with him about getting my wheel bearings done with him instead of through the dealer. He said for like $50 or two cases of beer they will typically leave a bay open after hours and do the work for cheap

 

Mine took like 7 or 8 weeks or something like that, exactly what they said it would.

 

Nice. What'd you end up going with weight-wise, and did you have them move the pin at all?

 

Yes, @WildLand did a while ago before his 01-04 conversion. Maybe he can chime in

 

Dam! maybe they are slow right now they quoted me 3 weeks.

Yes sir moved the pin forward and went with 600lbs and thanks for your advice to

 

suppose to be picking up manual hubs and axles, wish me luck........AGAIN

 

yup fits right up. Except you cannot use the crash bar from the 01-04.

 

Would you mind doing a measurement from the center of the front hanger bushing bolt hole to the leaf pack's centering pin?

 

Sweet awesome man, I actually found the front end swap thread of yours and I’ve been meaning to do that for couple years now just not committed enough yet lol

 

Like these? Yeah, disguised so well lol

 

Looks like giant Xmas tree with weird ornaments

 

It is a very simple swap! Just find the parts cheap

 

Installed Bed Cap. Got it used on CL. Cleaned a lot, Rain-X all windows, put in headliner, LED 3rd brake light, screens on sliders, new rear window hatch seal, super seal mounting gasket, tailgate seals. No leaks, love the space. Also (not in picture) did the "free" front turn signal mod, making space for 3" square fogs in front bumper future install.

 

OOPS! 2nd pic should have been this...

 

That thing is gorgeous! Even with the non color matched cap. Always loved the brighter fire engine red Toyotas.

 

Update: the canopy I got didn’t mine up good sooo rocking the normal bed while trying to figure out what to do. Hopefully someone will buy it and I can find a better one. It didn’t sit right on the truck and had weird gaps-it didn’t overlap on the side and had weird gaps. Also this is the longest I’ve ever gone without washing my vehicle :|

 

Dump Run!

Unloaded 0.43 tons of crap I had stored in my garage.

 

Just finished up putting a new fuel filter in.
