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

Yea. Matt at mcm didn’t start prototyping that mount until a little over a year after I mounted mine. Otherwise I probably would have picked up the bracket to save time. Ha

 

You’re probably my right. But I think I’ll be happier with this new setup. Take a look a @Squeaky Penguin. He just mounted his up in the fender.

 

So im driving along and see a rear arb bumper. I stoo and ask how much since it has the rear swing outs for the spare tire and gas can.. 300 usd. I said ill hive you 200 he said 280 i bought it for 210. . Now sitting at the paint shop waiting to get painted ... ill sand it down tomorrow. He put in a battery tray the rusty part to run dual batteries. .



It ahould look good with the front bumper

 

Headlight restoration using the

$39 3M 39008 Headlight Lens Restoration System 2-Pack

3M 39008 kit... best $10 I've spent this month.

 

Put clear coat on yhe headlights or they will rurn yellow again

 

Do u have kings all around or just the front? I wonder if someone already used Kings all around and the type of leaft replacement pack to make the smoothest possible ride.

 

Damn LED's I bought a yr ago for the cluster already going out. FML.

 

Lookin cool just staring out at the open space.

 

Do you live a cold climate? I went LED a couple years ago and noticed they start to flicker when the whether gets cold... around about 40°. During the warm summer months they have no issues - it's been happening for 2 years. I'm assuming something to do with contraction of the plastics in the cluster panel when cold.

 

Texas, not cold climate here. Only during the winter though.

 

anyone have suggestions for a magnetic license plate mount for the ARB bumper?

 

for your front plate? I left mine off.

 

Yes I have king 2.5s all around and a deaver leaf pack

 

If you will have to do it again, will be that. Set up the one to recommend or would you do anything different ?

Im not crazy crawlrock or lift lover however I would love to invest ONCE only but with the BEST on closest to low stock high but with smoothest ride for highway 97% of the time. Tks for your input

 

Sank the Tank....so soupy

 

Got the snorkel mounted up yesterday...but it's not functional yet. Apparently my truck is missing the air duct/intake tube that runs along the inside of the fender so I cant connect it until I get those parts...but it looks pretty badass, I'm really happy with it so far.

 

Good looking rig!

 

Looks really good man !
Is that the ebay snorkel ?
Looks the same as my 499 arb one lol

 

Haha yeah it's the ebay special

 

I had that part and threw it out when I got mine installed. The other eBay special doesn't need it, so you're about a year too late
