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

Saw 2.5

 

Bedrug done and installed today.

Monday Led headlights coming in and get rid of the chrome on the grill to black.

 

I was just wondering about the coils. I just got replacement coils that are 14" for mine and was wondering if he had the same. I think his are 2.0 if I remember right from the last time I asked.

 

Got bored





And following Digiratus' lead, I took off my bug/rock shield (after 13 years). Initially to spray paint it, but I think I might just leave it off. Dunno.

 

I've gotta leave mine on. Just recently found a golf ball-sized dent/ding right under it

I like it on though

 

Crappy picture, but I washed my truck this evening. Perfect night to do it

 

Yeah I have a feeling I'll put it back on.

Once I do the front end swap though, I'm taking it off.

I think.

 

I'm excited for when that happens any timeline set for the swap?

I've cancelled mine and am pretty set on moving on from it. Planning on satoshi-ing though.

 

The only parts I have so far are clear corners.

I have to save up some before I drop money on a grille and headlight assemblies and the $7 for bumper fillers

Pretty sure that's all I'm going to need. I'm really going to try and keep my 98 bumper for cost effectiveness. If it looks uber stupid then I'll save up for a 95-97 bumper/valence

Probably next spring is when I'll do it.

 

New Trail gear 1st gen bumper that i got and put on today!

Still Have to fix licence plate light tho
Ideas?

 

Wheeled it. Can't open my passenger door because the fender is pushed in to far now...I'll post a vid when I get some pics from a buddy.

 

Where'd you get the tailgate decals?

 

Nice! I want to see this video.


and I'm sure a BFH will fix that situation for you...

 

The ones on the side are painted... not me...

But the ones on the tailgate i guess were factory... I'm not sure

 

This might seem like a dumb question... but how do you make the images smaller and then be able to click and enlarge?

 

Exactly my problem 4 times. Fenders are now gone.. Only reason I removed them

 

Bumper looks good! Personally, I like the look of the liscense plate on the tailgate with lo-profile rear bumpers..... Mine is bolted to the tailgate... 45acp has his attached with sheet metal screw and it looks great!

 

Yeah, 14"

That is correct, mine are 2.0s.

Is this what is written on yours? I interpret the code to be 2.5" coil ID, 14" tall, 650 lb.

Thanks buddy. Yours is looking pretty sharp too.

 

Sweet Thanks for the info!

 

I just placed the order they should be here sometime next week but mine will be 14" 3.0 ID 550lb. I only have a single cab and don't plan on putting a plate bumper just a tube bumper so I think the 550lb coils will work fine. How do the eibachs ride? Soft? Hard?
