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

I have TOTALLY been meaning to do this. I have had the struts in my cart on Ebay for damn near a year. I WILL do this, this winter. (now that I've already done the water pump, and valve cover gaskets, and added a 2nd battery, and done every thing else that THIS particular mod would have made easier... Oh... it'll make installing a supercharger more convenient)

 

I bought mine on a group buy probably 4-5 months back and just now got to installing mine. But if you have the rivet gun and right drill bits it only took around 15-20 min to install. Wish I did it sooner. Definitely would of made my supercharger install easier.

 

This is on my short list of unnecessary but highly desirable mods for the near future

 

cool. What’s the setup on those lights that are level with the grill?

 

what is the cost of the Redline kit?

 

Redline Hood struts were one of my first mods and still one of my favorites:

Range from $80-130 depending on which one you get.

 

where are you driving? I find it varies by officer and location more than anything.

I've never had issues with anyone but we have only mostly 2 lane highways and a TON of deer/elk/turkeys/bears/lions/cows/ect that you can hit. So most don't really care as long as your respectful.

 

Cool, I was referring to the offset.

 

Denver and surrounding area.

 

I went with Spiker Engineering hood struts.
They were $84.00 delivered.

 

the retrofit headlights or the 9" leds? im sure its possible to fit them on a stock bumper but they will awkwardly angled off

 

Check with @RedlineTuning they might have a Group Buy coming up at some point, that’s when I got mine.

 

These right?

$39 BEAMTECH H-4 Bulbs, S1 Series 900-3 Fanlsess 300% Brighter 6500K White Fog Light, 2 Bulbs

Been holding up well so far?

 

I went with the Spiker kit too, I was just curious of the cost of the Redlines. When I heard about the Spiker kit and saw how easy it was to install I didn’t even shop around. Also Leon was super cool and easy to work with.

 

6ft bed? yes

 

I thought Spiker wasn't ready for 01-04 yet?

 

But you said no fan!

 

Did they work out of the box or did you have to add resistance to get the LEDs to work (or were you replacing other LEDs)?

 

Got it, just did the flasher relay and wasn't sure if it would be needed for this. Thanks!
