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

I have an All Pro Baja bumper and was looking to do something a bit different than the cornerlights since the AP bumper gets rid of the ability to mount the factory lights unless you use zip ties. I started to work on the corner lights but haven't finished them yet. I've been lazy.

 

Here's how I installed my Hayden cooler. Just a piece of alumn angle bar from the hardware store & a few spacers.

Nice day for a drive to the top of the mountain, for smoggy LA anyway. Yeah, second day in a row.

 

Perfect, thanks! Couple of other questions, did you run the cooler after the factory one in the radiator? So it goes out of the transmission, into radiator, into aux cooler, and then back to transmission?

Also, which side is the feed line and which is the return on the radiator/factory cooler?

 

Thank you

 

Got the rear diff with 4.56 in, and also did the diff breather with it...

 

Finally pulled the trigger on a set of 33's (skinnies, 255/85) St Maxx.

Can't wait to get them on! Local shop is out of stock but hopefully have them in within a week.

 

Welcome to the pizza club! You still running SPC ucas?

 

thanks! Excited to see how they perform and to save a little weight. Yup still got the SPCs

 

Let me know if they rub at full lock, my KM2s rub my stock ones at full lock on the outermost part or "horn" of the uca. I was planning on picking up a set to gain some castor back and hopefully alleviate the rubbing

 

Oh I'm sure they're going to rub bad...but not the UCA. I've never had issues rubbing there with my SPCs, but I do rub the pinch weld something fierce with my current 32" KO2s so I'm sure I'll need to trim that back some more before I put the new tires on. Hooping that the skinnier width will help avoid that though

 

If it makes you feel better, mine don't rub anywhere else, the skinny-ness really does help, I haven't really stuffed them, but the pinch weld and fender both have a decent amount of space. The height of the tire is what's now messing with my uca

 

Interesting, I hadn't thought about the height causing issue with the UCA but I don't see it being one with the SPCs. I'll report back once they're on

 

I can't believe I still haven't seen you driving around

 

My "keys for wheeling mod".

Tired of my keys banging around constantly when going over rough terrain. Sometimes I have to hold me keys while driving cause it drives me nuts. Tested today & man is it so nice to not hear them anymore.

Also put a piece of left over 3M paint mask film on the top of the kick panel for Lowes/HD crawling (I don't do malls). My keys keep making that area black from rubbing so much.





If you actually read this post & got this far, you can go ahead and make fun of me now.

 

Watching paint dry, got a little paint buzzz haha

 

Nice, I want their front bumper eventually.

 

Looks like they half assed the double cab one but it nice to finally see they have it as an option. Always thought about adapting a 2nd gen one but yours looks good too, super low profile.

 

Thanks! Its coming together nicely!

About 20 ft behind it... Should probably put it back on...

Im more around the tempe area now... Im sure it will happen eventually!

 

Im at the border of Tempe and Chandler, but moving to Mesa on Friday.
