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

by resistor i assume you mean flasher.... it goes where your stock one goes

 

finally working on getting my 882's!

 

I recommend you guys do a little research on the proper use of a high lift jack...



Having the jack extended that far (as in your pic) is pretty unstable, and could get you, or someone else, hurt.

If you need to use your jack to lift the back wheels off the ground, simply attach a ratchet strap or chain from your axle to your frame, BEFORE jacking the truck up. This will keep the suspension from unloading, and will keep the jack at a much lower level, thus being more stable.

Also, while we're on the subject, NEVER let your head/face get anywhere near that damn handle. While raising or lowering a load, that thing can spring back with surprising force, and you may end up spitting some teeth on the ground, or finding yourself with a cracked skull.


The hi-lift is a great tool, I just hate seeing it improperly used, as it's quite a bit more dangerous than you might think...

 

It was yesterday but whatever.

Washed, hit with a Clay bar, Polished and waxed (The only time I really wash the truck is the wax job i do every 6 months)

Painted the billet grill with Rustoleum truck bed coating to match the bumper.







Then i started prepping for my Bushwhacker Cut A ways to be delivered.

Flairs off




That's how much it removed from the fender in the rear. I already cut the fronts when I bought my tires.


I just mocked them up for now I was having trouble with the driver side rear due to my sliders touching the flair.




The flairs look like like they were made for the Elite bumper the lines match up really good only about a 1 1/2 gap between the two.
I'm going to mock up the last one tonight and paint them over the weekend I'm going with the same look all around the truck so Rustoleum truck bed coating it is. It should blend well with the bumpers and sliders.

 

Grille looks good man.

 

looks awesome Jlee!

 

Truck is looking good!

 

yo jlee do you have any extra clips from removing your old flares or do you re use them with the new ones? couple of mine have popped and don't kno where to get new ones.

 

Thanks guys

Man I tossed them in the trash but there on the top of the trash how many do you need? I broke a lot those dam things are one time use.

 

Looks great!!

x2

 

Looks great!!!

 

Looks nice I still think you should come out with your wheels about 1/2 to 1" to bring it flush with the top of the flair.

And 47 work hours I mocked up my cut a ways in about 2 hours.

 

For all you guys thinking about doing the U-bolt flip kit your welcome

Okay good I like the white on white it's looks clean.

 

ahh its all good, do you know anywhere that has them?

 

Installed an AFE Pro-Dry air filter. Works well, I notice the difference.

 

I never thought I'd like the look of white fender flares until now
