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

I'm guessing he's referencing the dual rounds

you are of course spot on for the body work

 

You making a grille for the dual pars or a was that a temp thing?

 

Its going to be permanent, much of the motivation being the hella e codes and dedicated projectors vs stock. Its been its own lighting rabbit hole

Open to suggestions on how to go about fabbing up a grille, probably gonna look a little mad max for awhile, lol

the goal is for a double take worthy, could have been stock, Tacoma dual round front end

Replaced my carrier bearing that had roughly 180k miles on it.

 

Just happened to have a rusted T100 fuel tank and dropped my tank to fix a fuel pump problem.

The T100 fuel tank will fit between the driveshaft and frame rail. Hammering the pinch weld on the tank flat is probably needed and one would need to raise and make a custom crossmember as the radius of the factory one interferes. Clearing the diff would be the only concern I'd have. If the front crossmember was moved forward 2" things should clear the diff fine. With crossmembers raised it'll sit above the frame rail also.

Maybe next time my bed is off I'll revisit the idea. Would be about a 6 gallon increase. Roughly 100mile increase in range.

 

Thats a lovely idea! How well does the fuel neck line up?

 

Looks pretty close to the oem spot. Honestly forgot to look when it was in there though.

 

Slap a bump stop on the dif and let it clearance the tank for you

 

Installed the JeepCables Big 7 kit on my '04

 

New tires. Went with a set of Falken Wildpeak A/T4Ws to replace the growler KM3 pizza cutters

 

Nice work. I have about half the kit installed. I still haven’t got around to rerouting the line for the starter, seems like a pain in the ass.

 

Thanks! It was a huge pain, especially figuring out how I wanted to loom and secure the new cables. WoolWax all over my truck didn’t make things fun either

 

Plugs and air filter.

 

What gauge wire?

 

I went with the 1/0 kit

 

It was time for new front pads again. The last set I installed got me just over 50k miles. I’m happy with that.

 

I used 1/0 on my dual battery assembly, felt I went a bit overkill

 

Nice! I’m ready for my chrome grille to go on my ‘04 and I’ve been looking at this one for a couple days. How was the install?

 

Made a matching inner stub
