more mods/everything

I feel like us 1st gen guys have less mods and just less going on in general.
we should have MORE mods and diy's because we've had our trucks longer.
i'm just throwing this out there because i have nothing else to do.
anyone else ever sand the grill surround? mine was chrome so i took 400 grit sandpaper to it and it gave it a beautiful brushed aluminum look.
I also found out that in the ext cab the back rest in the back seats is just a piece of wood, i think i'm going to take mine off and cut it in half to make two seperate rests and then i can put a sub box in there a bit better.
ok done. if your at home bored today like me, tell us some little stuff you've done to make your tacoma "yours"

 

check my build thread here.......http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/1st-gen-tacomas/builds/15065-tacomaman06s-build.html........... i have done a good bit of stuff you dont see everyday.

 

YES! thanks i'll read it all! just links to the main forum page...

 

Ive got a few mods comming my way. Actually, i just got one in tonight, but ill wait till Its fully done to show any pics

 

good stuff! anyone do brighter backup lights in the stock housing like the 2nd gen trucks?

 

oops......sorry, my link was screwy for some reason...................try this one........http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/builds/15065-tacomaman06s-build.html

 

that one works

 

question... if i were to try and do the clear corners myself, is the amber part removable??? i plan on opening my headlights up to see if there is anything to black out (not much extra chrome like the 2nd gens) but a little would look cool... i also need to redo some of the silicon seal because i'm getting some moisture in there

if i take the amber out do i need to replace it with an amber bulb like in the hazard lights?

 

on the first gens.......the corners, you cant really remove the amber lens..............there will be a hole there since its kinda made into the light. you can get clear corners on ebay tho, round $25 or so.

 

is it legal to have clear directionals?

 

yea i looked at removing them too but i dont think it's gona work. dud122, if you get the clear corners i'll take the amber ones off your hands. let me know and we'll work out a price.
the corner can be clear but if your using it as a blinker you need an amber blinker bulb.

 

ive got clear corners, with amber bulbs. Ive got clear blinkers, with amber bulbs..no problems so far

 

what??

sorry but i don't understand the diff between the two.

 

dud, the corner lights are just markers. I'm guessing that they do have to give off an amber color though to be DOT legal. If you want to keep the clear look, look into these bulbs.

pittim... awesome

i'll look on ebay for clear corners... i'm assuming they won't come with bulbs so i'll get these stealth ones.


then.... is there a way to turn the hazard lights into fog lights and wire the directionals to be hazards too?

 

anyone done this before??

 

i was gonna make my marker lights into turn signals, and my turn signals into fog lights, but that was gonna be a ton of work...................cant use the current turn signals for fogs.........the bulb socket is way too small, and it can take the heat from a fog lamp either.

 

so maybe its the terms i'm screwing up....


________ are the lights in the bumper and they flash when you put your 4-ways on

________ are the lights next to the headlights and flash when you want to turn left or right



man i feel like such an idiot right now

 

_turn signals_______ are the lights in the bumper and they flash when you put your 4-ways on

_marker lights_______ are the lights next to the headlights and flash when you want to turn left or right................but they dont blink when you wanna turn...................

 

I have A LOT of mods.... just give me till next friday... you will see!
