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

Made some progress on the headlight build! Monster shroud

This Wiring harness gives me anxiety lol


105mm inner angel eye, 80mm outer angel eye, demon eyes, tacoma specific crescent halo ring, h2 projector

 

That’s a lot of wire

Can you explain all that the eyes? Thinking about doing this but don’t know what I want yet.

 

Yeah it’s a lot of wires and each ring has its own harness. The more things you add to it the more wire you’ll have. It depends on which shroud you use. Demon eyes just add A glow to the actual projector lens. A lot of the rings have a switch back option so you can connect Your turn signals to them. Find a shroud that you like and contact LED concepts, technical support. They should be able to tell you about everything you need to make it work.

 

That rear axle on his 1st gen aint your regular axle. Lol

I wish jerry would have made a full set of skids. His stuff is beef. His one off front bumper is sick AF!

 

Everything on his first gen build is sick AF! Not your average SAS first gen

 

Loaded up for the river

 

Out with the old and in with the new.

 

Had to take apart my passenger side cv axle again after my install last weekend because the seal was leaking, replaced the seal and all is well.



Drove the seal in the rest of the way using the axle, worked like a charm.



Afterwards I put my blown out STMaxx to good use and made a tire swing for my nephew

 

Replacing valve cover seals
Cleaning up everything
Powder coating blue

 

Got the raptor liner done and some bedside supports in.







Really happy how it turned out. My bed was pretty rough before.

 

One piece at a time its starting to come back together. Perfect saturday therapy.

 

Where did you get the oil cap?

 

Was on the truck when I got it.


Is it special?

 

Goddamn Brett that looks like a brand new bed.

 

I was on the fence about ordering it but now looking at your bed I'm going to place my order. Looks awesome nice job.

 

Since I’m in this deep I decided to pull the injectors and send them in for cleaning Monday.
The tips look pretty dirty

 

Painted up the frame yesterday and just put the bed back on. No bumper, hitch, tonneau cover or tools in the bed = large rake. Almost ready to get it painted.

 

Did you replace the fuel pump since you had the bed off?

 

Not this time. I did it 2 years ago when I did the frame swap. Also added the larger file tank. Went from a 15 to 18 gallon.

 

Mounted way too big of a winch in a smallish bumper, only required minor modification.









I'm pleased with it, not like I'll ever pull that much with it. The size of the Tacoma and weight pretty much prohibits that from ever happening. But with a fully wrapped drum it can still yank 6,700lbs and down to one wrap you get the 12k and a brake that can hold that much. That and synthetic line, wired/wireless remote, and all the stuff to relocate the contactor box, pretty freaking good deal at $470
