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

Thicc. looks great

 

Very nice!
You need a matching spare though, and I have what you need.

 

It's carpet, sound deadening helps a bunch.



That crease in the middle was from the shipping box, it went away after a bit of time.
Edit: that video shows it much better.

 

Just got the truck back from the fab shop. Super happy!! I'll get some better pics in the morning. Made the trail gear bumper awesome!!! The swing out and the bar in the front were done by Avid offroad.

 

Looks great!

 

Finally installed my Satoshi grille. Next step: Upgrade headlights to LED and install my BAMF sliders.

 

Installed a new ignition cylinder and door handles with locks!

 

Have you looked at the “proper headlight upgrade”? Pretty awesome. Pretty easy. Not that there’s anything wrong with led you do you.

 

Thanks I'm really excited about it I've been waiting it for a while.

 

My buddy's shop that painted the grille also does lighting, custom work, etc. and said they could hook something up for me easy, but I'm not familiar with the "proper" method, so I'm open to suggestions if it gives better results.

 

Projectors you know how all new cars have those lil circular projectors... they make ones you install in our housings

 

Ah yeah, I actually have some Morimotos I plan on installing eventually, but I’ve been dropping money hand over fist lately, and don’t have any homie hookups to do them properly. For now I just need something cheap and easy to give me better visibility, because the OEM are pretty terrible and give me a hard time on some roads at night.

 

Its a pretty diy friendly thing just dont do it too hot for too long or else youll need new ones

 

Yeah we’re all familiar with the process, but it’s just one of those things I’d rather have done once and done right by someone that knows how. There’s a guy in South Bay I’ve talked to that can do it - just gotta find a time when I don’t have any other financial or truck build priorities going on instead.

 

I did it myself its easy

Just dont get a cheap projector, plug up the vent holes in the factory housing, and run the wiring for the shutter and halo free from any areas where they could get chafed

 

Looks dope! Beast mode!

 

I have to do this soon, any guide you followed? for the ignition, I know how to do the doors.

Whoever decided to put the brake hardline to softline mount/ clip in the most inaccessible area can suck my left one.Clip is siezed and access is poor. Even using a line wrench I stripped the drivers side hard line nut
