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

Added a speedo/compass/front view/rear view... and a whole bunch of other shit... rear view mirror.

I have a housing that needs a cover welded on but besides that its in pretty solid shape

 

Just noticed I have a p0505 code so that’s cool

 

That’s what I’m going to end up doing to his truck. A used housing is almost as much as just buying new

 

But can you lower your visor without hitting the mirror???

 

Who lowers their visor? lmao

My parks pass, pocket knife, challange coins, and cigarettes would fall if I lower my visor.

 

Short people lower their visors.

 

People who don’t have a sunglasses vice

 

Short people problems


lmao... just kidding.
Seriously though, I'm not sure the visor would go down with the front facing camera out. Didn't even cross my mind to test it. I never put the visor down.

 

Most of the time, the position of my light bar keeps the sun out of my eyes.

The BMW seats also moved me up about an inch, which also helps.

 

It comes with rear MOLLE attachment clips SOLD!

 

Yeah the barnes HD diff cover is like $90

 

im not a fan of that cover since it lacks the stamped in shape of the factory cover. that shape helps the gear oil fling itself and properly oil everything. so i got a dorman cover sitting at home.. i usually despise dorman. but for this case its probably the best one to buy... plus it was like 40 bucks i've just had 0 time to get this done.. now that its warmer i'll be able to.

 

Ahhh yeah they make a stock stamped style but it’s not for the elocker rear ends

 

Overland AF

 

Swapping the plexi for a real window….

 

Dang that's real nice. I need something like that now that i have the canvas top.

The barnes cover is good, I just did it to my brother in laws tundra. Shit job for sure.

New rubber earlier this week, LBJs and outer tie rod ends on a Fedex truck somewhere, picked up a CV axle yesterday, and full OME kit ordered from Wheeler's but no word on shipping yet. I plan on doing the LBJs, tie rod ends, and passenger CV this weekend then will continue waiting (not so) patiently for my suspension to come in.

 

Also while I'm feeling like posting today: If anybody happens to have an oem air intake assembly, I would really love to get my hands on one. Previous owner of my truck thought a CAI was a great idea (probably for the same reason he thought spacers and Rancho shocks were the best route for suspension) and I would much rather have an airbox and do the deckplate mod so I'm not as worried about taking the truck for a little swim.

 

did u size that with cardboard and order? I have a toyota pickup shell I'm using with a blow thru system which is a weird window size, doesn't fit our normal shell window size for the tacoma's
