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

I’ve also discovered that my cheap ass Amazon traction boards only grab mud tires or very aggressive all terrains. The lugs on the Laufenn x fit tires leave some to be desired for anything more than your average forest service road.

 

I actually laughed out loud.

 

On the front, did you cut out the center to accommodate the manual locks or was there an aftermarket solution floating about eBAY? Looks clean! Nice job.

 

Well i'd hope so haha

I've had really bad results in general with any traction mat things. When they do work it's nice. But most the time they don't. at least not in snow due to everything just being a bit slick. Idk. I stopped carrying them.

 

I drilled a hole, then carefully used a dremel with a router bit, to follow the outline that’s there. Then hand sanded the rough edge

 

I used the provided hardware for my install. No backing plate.

 

That diff lock switch fits the little cubby on the 01-04 center console too I think

 

This is true. I had some on my 2nd gen V6 and absolutely loved them. I just wish they weren't more expensive for the 3.4

 

Happens to the best of us, buddy

 

Sounds filthy

 

Just Raptor lined my 95 Taco. Turned out great. The color is Federal Standard 36300 (Aircraft gray). Same color as the F-16. Also put on “new” wheels. Still need to add decals and fender flares too.

Some lessons learned:
- I went to the auto store and they color matched the tint into a spray paint which I used on the jambs. Very helpful.
- Get just a little more than you expect and inventory when it gets there. I got 8 but they shorted me one bottle somehow. I didn’t notice until I was 3 bottles in. Had to stop and go in town the next day to get another bottle. Ended up w buying 4 because that all they had.
- Standard truck stuff but it took me a couple days longer than I expected.
- Prep, prep.

 

Looks great

All very impressive

 

Got the

$659 sp9100 switch pros SP-9100 8-switch panel power system with concealed mounting hardware

sp9100 all hooked up finally and fogs with the back lights working.

Gotta tap the blinkers still and then stage one will be complete.



Plus ran new wire to the alt and fuse box.

Now if only the bluetooth would freaking connect. Then I could program my triggers to work right.

 

Nice battery terminals.

 

aren't you glad i talked you into the switch pros? LOL looks tidy

 

Not yet. The damn bluetooth doesn't work. So the two things I really want... don't work hahaha

But yeah it's pretty damn tidy. Lot of small custom shit going on there

 

sounds like user error to me.
