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

lol nice i gotta re paint mine but spray paint is garbage all around! doesnt hold up to bugs and rocks im gonna try and take mine in to work and spray it with some epoxy paint and use are booth so it doesnt have trash in it.

 

Im hoping they buy it back

 

01tacoma did you bolt your bumper on or weld it? i think i see a guy with a mask in the garage pic, and definitely see a ground wire haha.

 

Repainted the front bumper with left over paint. Installed my new daylighters in the hoop, just finished wiring them in.

 

I cleaned the yellow off my headlights with the turtlewax headlight haze remover system and I replaced the headlight bulbs with silverstars 4000K...

First pic is after rubbing compound but before scratch pads:



Next pic is same light after I removed the masking tape and was finished. I am pretty happy with the results and it saves me from "having to" buy new housings which means I can...


GET my Bilstein 5100's from Downsouth Motorsports! 5125's in the back, cause my truck is stock height... More to come on that as it develops...

 

Really like the rims! Tires, eh not so much. I need a more aggressive tire for my tastes!

 

Both lol but i cut about 2" from the stock crossmember out so the bumper would sit into the body more so i had to drill ne holes...but the weld is plenty enough to hold it on there! Now just gotta find a winch!

 

ah ok.

I'll probably go with a superwinch epi9.0...gotta do it soon though cause they were discontinued..

 

Installed guage cluster with tach and a mazda speed shift knob, I had to rethread the shift knob so it would go into the shifter, pretty easy

 

link? Ijust found a XRC8 for $200 brand new on craigslist near me!

 

in the picture they dont look that aggressive, but in person they look so sick and pretty aggressive, but then again i dont offroad everyday or weekend, so there good enough for me.

 

Oh yeah you have the 2000. I totally lucked out with mine. Its crazy to see a voided 15,000 dollar invoice.

 

General Grabbers are actually pretty aggressive up close. They are also considered a mud tire, not too sure how well they perform in mud though.

 

So...today..i parked next to a stock 97-99 tacoma...WOW lol its funny to see my truck that looks so normal..till its next to what it used to look like..lol

 

Their OK is mud but in sand they have got to be about the best ive seen, and they are a nice tire in person!

 

random threadjack chad, but if its the one listed with the JK bumper, he (or someone with the exact same setup) was selling it back in the summer. I contacted him and he agreed to meet, but never showed up. so just watch out, hope u have better luck than me

 

Picked up a set of trail gear sliders for a 2nd gen DC from a local member today.

 

busted out my rear slider!!!!!!!! damn quad lol hahahahahaha
got quoted 370 for glass and installation anyone think im getting ripped off?

 

Your rear window*? What're rear sliders
