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

even bud builts is cheaper.

 

Sand robs the power! I can’t wait!

 

Passing along some info, purchased a set of TG rear frame box kit through JEGS (freeship).
Had a back and forth with the vendor & JEGS, so turns out TG is discontinuing these and selling off what's left in stock.

Thought it might help anyone who was on the fence about boxing the rear.

Do folks have a view on where the ideal placement is for the bedside TRD decals?

Prior owner had replaced all the OEM markings with black ones and I'm changing them back with OEM. The OEM placement is in line with the white rectangle in the tail light but the prior owner had put them a little higher up (see the black decal below). Trying to figure out if I should stick with the OEM location or if it looks better to have it higher up. I mocked it up and I still can't decide. The OEM decals are pricey so I don't want to have to re-do it if I can be avoided. Anyone else run into this or have an aesthetic opinion? I normally stick to OEM everything but I'm pulled a little bit toward putting the decal higher since the OEM placement feels too low. Thoughts? Truck currently has one of the black decals left on and one side where I took the black decal off.

 

100%... 5.29s + 35s + Long Travel = Was having A BLAST at Hammers this year.

 

Used it to clear some brush and get a good bonfire going.

 

That SUCKS!

 

Installed my ROX Rock lights on my truck finally. 3D printed a mount to angle them on the mud flaps and also front bumper. Wired to my Auxbeam to toggle them on. I might change the front mount angle a bit once I test them offroad a bit more.

 

I agree it looks better higher, my after market is lower and it looks a bit off.

 

So close to finishing up my carbon fiber hood restoration. Fist time putting it on in months. Just gotta get the hood pins installed and do a final wet sand/ polish!

 

ALSO, new shoes today!! Just picked up a set of 17 inch Method 703 bead grips wrapped in 285 70 R17 Nitto Trail Grapplers heading out to the dunes tonight to try them out!

 

Idled it lol. Been straight rain for a while now every weekend for me

 

Nice, what bumper is that?

 

Hi - where did you buy the black grill from please?

 

It’s a custom bumper I built a couple years ago

it’s the OEM grill. I painted it with black hammered rustoleum. I’m pretty sure eBay sells fully black grills though

 

That carbon fiber hood looks good IMO.

 

Ayo this truck looks familiar (I have 1999 Impulse Pearl Red too )I imagine installing this same set up in a month or so, you got a link for these parts? Double-din and CB.

 

All work from this week---

White Raptor Liner on Impulse Pearl Red Truck, need 1 more coat Tan/Blk Seat Cover, the OEM 60/40 bench seat was getting abused to the max!
Brembo Rotors/Akebono Pads combo FTW3 belt replacement, wasn't planning replacing the Idler Pulley but I beat the living shit out of the lock nut before releasing the tensioner so I just replaced it while I'm at it

 

Man your truck is definitely a looker!!
Did you make the hood or buy it? If you bought it could you share the website?

 

Those gages on the post look interesting.
