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

As someone who has strapped a camelbak to their seat, the inclusion of a camelbak pocket seems like a pretty sweet idea.

 

Finished up my backup camera! Ran the wire through 1/4" conduit along the factory conduit under the dash, through the kick-plate, carpet, and then through the firewall and under the truck. Connected it to the reverse light wire for automatic activation when put in reverse.

Big thanks to @Cutter_ for his help! Check out his write up here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/clean-back-up-camera-install-for-1st-gen-tacomas.688428/

 

Time to clean those vents before you give yourself the rona.

 

Sounds like I’ll be good then

 

The gift that keeps giving

 

That's what my blank p/n was for my double cab, bought one about a year ago. Should pop right in

 

Sweet thank


Anyone wanna go to a local dealer and get one so I don’t have to pay 10$ to ship?

 

Local dealer is just gonna change more anyway.

 

Not gonna be a 10$ part at a dealer?

 

Online prices, at least from places like mcgeorge and conicelli, are always way lower than what you can talk a dealer into

 

Good to know, maybe I’ll just drill a hole somewhere by the vents

 

Primed and painted my new set of wheels. They were crusty when I started, but didn't turn out too bad.

 

1. I have miramoto H1s (they screw in and no cutting is needed). My question is, i cant adjust these right? I have had them open as i was waiting for my truck to get out of the shop so i can adjust. Then i realized there is no room for adjustments. Am i right? Lol

 

To further spruce things up in the cab and add to the driving experience, I was able to get my SR5 gauge cluster calibrated to my true mileage and installed.

After polishing, the cluster and lens came out better than new.


Adds a bit of OEM sporting attitude to my once sparse base regular cab, and also gained some nifty features like a tachometer and trip odometers.


Looks pretty cool with the lights on during the day.


And of course the obligatory shot in the dark.. there is a cool glow around the needles that soothes the info fed to your brain!


I am happy with how they look and feel.. It was fun taking it for a test spin and getting used to seeing the tach on the dash. I think I will use that trip odometer and see what kind of mileage I am getting on my next tank too.. why not?!

 

I'm still trying to get it!!!

 

@Das it mang hitting proper deadlifts for the first time in almost a year. Hopefully I will be more motivated to attend my home gym than I was big box hell

 

I dig it!

 

What's next after wheels?

 

I bet tires
