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

Right back at ya'. Funny as hell right? My favorite line, "From its provocative curves to the paint job that says, "Screw you, I'm a car," this 5-speed '95 Pontiac eminates manliness from every loosely-coupled piece of sheet metal."

 

Look what FedEx just dropped off



Thanks 4XI!!

 

Anyone else wanting a new front bumper?

how about an Elite Plate bumper

Tim has a spare that he built, its a base model with fogs. He can add a light hoop, half guard or full guard to it as well.

Pm him for details or me!

 

GOOD JOB!

 

I was pretty stoked mark lol No hwy miles even!

 

FUCK? Really?

I went with 4XI mostly because I thought Tim was completely done with bumpers for now.

Oh well...I got a rockin' deal on the 4X unit...and its built very nicely.

 

yea lol

he accidentally built one too many so now he has a spare.

sorry bro! that sucks..

but that thing will look nice thats for sure!

 

Yeah, I cant wait to get it on. Its def build good.

It was a great deal at $460 shipped all the way to FL...And 4X stopped making one, so I got one of the last 1st gen bumpers that they made.

I had the dough for an Elite...and I really would have/still would love one...but I dont know if I could justify almost $900 in all for a bumper.

 

Tube > Plate

 

i paid that for mine

don't even ask what my rear is gonna cost hahaha


I like yours tho. Its very different from what i have seen. Looks like it'll match up with the grill real slick with the two angled support pieces.

 

eh, pros and cons to each.

really its mostly just preference..and budget haha

 

True lol. I really wanted a hybrid bumper but there aren't really any hybrid bumpers for 1st gens. Also my tube bumper was a good price

 

yea i have only seen like one sick hybrid production bumper. Some guy down south was making them but doesn't anymore.

can always add plate stuff to your tube one tho!..not so much the other way..lol

 

About time you buy one of those "hybrid" badges and slap it on your tailgate.

 

i know right! hahahaha

 

Redoing my tint and tinting the moonroof nice and dark.

 

Are you doing the front windows? If so, i definetely recomend taking the door panels off. It makes things 100 times easier.

 

thinking of doing it myself also. can you give the details of which kind you used, how it has held up, does it look good, etc, etc

 

I pay the shop to do it all.

I am redoing the front with the lightest they have and fixing a rear window scratch and finally tinting the moonroof cause the panel rattles too much. And it's a pointless view anyways.:rjallday:

 

I got a precut tint from northern tint off ebay. $27 for all the windows and theyll even mix and match different percentages for each window. So far its held up great but whatever you do definetely take the door panels off for installation. Sooooooo much easier to do.
