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

The panel that has the air knobs and stuff has an orange/red film on the back of it, not orange bulbs, is that how the gauge cluster is also?

 

Yeah white would be my next choice. Check out @m3bassman image. Looks great

 

Just curious, how many have had to grind either there spindle or coil bucket? I don't think I've ever seen it mentioned before.

Taking a die grinder to the buckets tomorrow

Blue

 

The hell did you do to smack that? Those aren't on a collision course with anything unless you have like the worlds most intense camber

 

Oh I get what you’re saying. My wife is an Optician and tells me all the time how light works on the eyes. I just like blue

 

Also, what's going on with your upper shock bushings?

 

Camber is within a degree from 90.

 

After resently cracking my shock buckets I would never remove any material away from them to avoid risk of weakening them. That bent lip is there to help strengthen then probably not much but it does serve a purpose.

Aside from your shock bushings looking funny, not sure if it's just deceiption of the pic but this part don't look right either. Looks bent.

 

Installed new speakers today, Infinity Kappas all the way around. I really didn't want to upgrade my speakers cause I know what it will lead too but my rear speakers were blown. What the new speakers led to is that now I want a subwoofer! Sadly got no room though.

 

That's what color mine is too, I don't see it being red at all. It's amber/orange.

 

Which Infinity Kappas did you get? My stock system is about to get replaced thanks to free99 head unit from @Speedytech7

 

Which reminds me the remote is on my kitchen counter, found it when I was looking for taco parts in my closet

 

Zack It sounds like sediment. In the line or tank. Fuel pump works great out of the tank, trucks starts till the injector or pump gets plugged. Then the crap falls out after the pressure pull stops and opens the lines again.

Vapor lock also does the same thing, fought it on a new car pulled the gas cap off, and it ran fine. They went and spent 10 bucks on a new cap after 2 weeks at the mechanic.

 

Red has a longer wave length and is much easier on your eyes at night than blue. It will also retain you night vision much better than blue will.

This is also why most vehicles come with 3300k or 4300k headlights as it doesn't wear your eyes out as much at say 5000k.

 

Finished hooking up underhood lights with a tilt switch. Hooked up to a new aux relay/fuse box.

 

sweet intake pipe. Where did you get it?

 

Does anyone have a Double Cab with a 1995-1997 4x4 Front End?

This is something I never though I've wanted.

 

never seen it.

Why?

Because you'd have to swap front fends, hood, and the grill with the head lights. To make things work right with the head lights alone its best to swap the whole core support.

THEN

you have paint problems because none of the colors from 95-97 are the same as 01-04. So you'd have to repaint the front end to make it match the truck.

Thus.

Very expensive..for just looks. So not a popular thing to do.

Few on here have thought of it...myself included as I think the 95-97 is the best front end of all the gens.
