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

New seats are in. Duals were pulled and are back in as well. Done working on this thing for a while haha

 

Damn, those are nice!

 

Man they feel great! Super happy I went this route

 

How much per seat were those?

 

Just finished my toolbox here is the before and after.

 

Cheap flood lights as reverse lights were still too focused. Soda blaster fixed that. Nice even glowing light now. And lots of it.

 

I got all the extra options and it was just over $1600 after shipping and tax

 

For both right? what are the options?

 

For both yes. Seat heaters, lumbar support and the seat covers. Although I’m probably not going to run the seat covers full time, they are kinda crappy. I wouldn’t get them if I ordered again

that cost also included the seat brackets

 

Nice work! Unfortunately with the ABS and Cruise I don’t have much room there. I resorted to using a 1.25L narrow container I had in the garage. No idea where it came from. But it fits perfectly between the air box and the headlight so I’ll roll with it for now..

 

Bed's 10" shorter and frame is 5". Now to weld it all back together.

 

Keep that exhaust the same! Lol

 

It's next on the list to get the sawzall treatment.

Need to weld a new turndown and hanger, and the resi is right in the way.

 

Just keep it as is, its more funny this way

 

T-minus 4 days to Death Valley trip. Did some finishing of some projects and started getting all the gear checked and rechecked for our first trip of 2022.

Had the reinforced and painted Tcase skid ready to go on. So it found it's spot back on the truck.



Finished the Platform 2.0


Hooked up the fridge with the newly wired socket, everything checks out.



Went over to Tractor Supply and got a couple new (metal) Jerry Cans. Because I'm completely f'n over the stupid Scepter cans.

Also put on the new Trasharoo.



Replaced the main buckles on the Trasharoo with these... because the plastic main buckles are complete garbage. Learned that lesson on the last one.



Also... we hosed the Trasharoo with about 4 coats of this.



Got our offering ready for Teakettle Junction. Our group will decorate it in camp the evening before we get there.

 

That's a funky looking drink in your cup holder.

Seats look great

 

looks like we'll be twining with the tan paint/brushed copper ray10s.

imo, go with copper

 

If I wasn't spending $2700 on a new computer...I'd be ordering those seats.
Another thing missing from the pre-gens, the 'crotch cooler'. Seats should be heated and cool mode too.

 

Honestly today I tried to remove a stripped screw on the interior grab handle, I gave up after my fingers got numb

 

Can someone explain to me where LT rated tires compare to C and E rated tires? Thought mine were C but I only see LT. I know LT stands for “light truck” right?
