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

That front recovery point.. where can I find a bracket like that?

 

thank you, no they are 5x 4.5 15 x 7's.


They are lug centric, hub is bigger but doesn't matter bc of that. Thrashed them a bit and haven't budged

 

Heck yeah. I have a set of those lol. Headed to try them now. Thanks for the input brother.

 

My wife had a '95 Mustang GT when we met. I should have kept it an additional 20 years just to stick the wheels on my "new" mini!

The bigger question is what tires would you put on a 15x7? I couldn't find a suitable AT, so was considering 16's if the 27x8.5's didn't fit (which they do!)
Going with street/strip rubber?

 

Yeah for real lol. They look good on the little guys.

 

I had a set of those on my 300ZX, they fit a wide variety of things.

 

Thanks! They look great. It looks like you used the original rails on the bottom and mounted them to the base of the seat, which is the way to go. Beats making weird adapters for them to line up with the holes like I see so many do with the 4runner seat installs. Nice job!

 

100%... I just cut the feet off the original seats, bolted them to the floor, and set the BMW seats on top of the feet. Tacked them together, pulled the seats out and fully welded the feet to the BMW rails.

 

I'm thinking Deer Valley may be a problem to get to in May. But Sourgrass, Corral Hollow shouldn't be a problem. Slick Rock shouldn't be a problem either as you can get to both of the trail heads right now.

Utica campgrounds are open even now: https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/stanislaus/recarea/?recid=14907
As is the Alpine Rec Area: https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/stanislaus/recarea/?recid=14871

Highway 4 is currently closed EAST of Alpine: https://roads.dot.ca.gov/

Slick Rock is also open even now: https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/stanislaus/recarea/?recid=82962

 

That works too... lol.

 

Repainted my grill and installed some new Hella headlight housings. So far I like them.

 

That’s awesome!

 

Buddy of mine made it for me. May be able to see if he can make another one

 

If it's not too much trouble! I'm looking to see if I can buy one online but no luck yet.

 

If not I’ll send you the dimensions. It’s just made from 1in steel plate. Any shop with a plasma table should be able to make it

 

You can not get to the alpine side. I snow shoed there a few weeks ago. This was lake alpine.

I think open means, open to snow mobiles.

 

"Slick Rock Road is only open to wheeled motorized use when at least one of the access roads (Highway 4 or Spicer Road) is open. If these roads are both closed, Slick Rock Road is only open to tracked over-snow vehicles. Call the Calaveras Ranger Station at 209-795-1381 for more details or current information"

If both access point is closed, no vehicle is allowed. At that point, it's only open to snow mobile.

 

Yup sounds right, spicer is closed at the snow park. So it’s open to snow mobiles only.

 

We've got 4 months. I think Slick Rock is 50/50. Deer Valley and Forestdale is probably less than 5% chance of happening.

But I'll leave it on the calendar and we'll make something happen.

 

I know a few local guys that wouldn't mind running slick rock trail, depending on when. Maybe we will meet y'all there
