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

Nice find I've been wanting to design brackets for those seats to make a kit for our trucks. You should ship them to me lol

 

please do!! so i can finally get some racing syle seats that will bolt in!
tired of my damn 60/40 seats

 

I was thinking about putting a white led strip in my grille. Like between the mesh and grille either on the top or bottom. I think bottom would look better

 

Im sure its fine as long as they're not flashing. Check these out. This guy works for highways so he was allowed to put flashing amber all over his truck. He's got quite the setup inside too

 

I know here the laws are pretty clear. Amber is allowed (flashing only as a caution light, not always flashing for no reason), red is only allowed if it cant be seen from the front of the vehicle, and blue is never allowed.

So the red LED strip here could get some unwanted attention.

 

Yeah, its amber. And i dont see it being any different then running lights.

 

talked about it, looked at it, managed to only drive it 140 miles this week so far im shooting for a single gas tank for the entire week, it will be a record if i do!

 

Amber is fine, lots of vehicles come with amber in the front right from the factory.
The pics kinda looked red.

 

Yeah, it was an iPhone pic. haha.

 

Yup, place is 5 mintues from the school
Kinda muddy which i dont care for but there are tons of creek crossings and hills with some rocks here and there so its pretty fun... youtube Carver Mill rd

 

cleaned my headlights with toothpaste actually worked pretty well

 

Clear coat them or else they'll be hazy again in less than a year

 

thats what i will be doing tomorrow.

 

Or maybe I'll just design some brackets out of Home Depot steel with my grinder and sledge and sell them as G.A.M.F (Ghetto A** Metal Fabrication) Tacoma Seat Brackets. Who needs a fancy freaking little CNC cutter anywho.

I wonder if bob would give me a page in the vendor section.....

 

Nice.

What are you going to use? I've heard of bad results from spray clear coat.

Seem like you need to apply it with a foam brush or something like that.

 

Did the 30min drive to Wheelers and got a full OME setup! Dakar's, 881's, with lift enhancer and all the little stuff. I'm also getting sliders from Tim I can't wait and its only about an hour to Tim's shop so I'll be picking them up.

Sorry no pics computer won't upload at the moment.

 

When I restored the headlights on my old Prelude (wet sand & polish), I got a product called Lamin-X. It's basically a clear plastic film and it prevents then lens from fading. Also gives a little protection from rocks, etc. Had it on for 3 years and the lights still looked like new.

 

not sure my dad had it. im sure its not spray.. he is really picky about everything being profesional, and hates anything in spray bottles cause it gets on the wrong item most of the time.

 

I've used lamin-x on my legacy's tail lights (to slightly smoke them)

Never thought about using the clear film for the headlights.

Nice idea.
