Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

To do list:
-Get upper control arms so I can put on my King Coilovers.
-Get a new leaf spring set so I can put on my King rear shocks.
-Get new tires/16" wheels
-Get a BAMF light bar to mount lights behind my new grill.
-Get some BAMF rock sliders.
-Win the lottery to afford this.

 

^ looks good! I just got mine on today too. You gotta spray paint your radiator man!

Here's mine...

 

Haha I did! I sprayed the radiator and the two metal side pieces with black semi gloss rustoleum. I think it's a combination of the light/bigger holes in my grill that make it look unpainted. In person it looks fine.

Edit: Wait a minute, do you have an LED light bar tucked away behind your plate as well?

 

No I don't, that'd be badass though. And yeah it could have just been the light of the picture that really made yours stand out. I didn't both even moving my horn because I think it looks fine as is, but I may do that eventually. Did you relocate your horns?

 

So ive been thinking about a way to set up a bracket for behind the grill lights on my 1st gen without having to relocate the horn.
Maybe using something like BAMF style but instead of bolting it at the top where the radiator is bolted it can be set upsidedown and bolted onto a bottom crossmember.
My idea is still pretty rough, dont have anything drawn up and still need to check out other sections of the site for ideas.

 

Yeah I moved them down behind my license plate. Freaking pain in the assssss. Let me snap a quick pic, brb.





I had to use a fatty washer and looked around for a different bolt and nut to get them to stay on. The worlds smallest gap exists behind that bar I mounted the horns on so tightening that bolt was the only hard part. I used this guide: http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/homertaco/215914-homertaco-grill-install.html

Oh and I think the "led bar" I saw was just the bottom section of your radiator. Haha.

 

Dang that does look like a PITA. What's weird about mine though, is I only have one horn. Everyone else's trucks that I've seen do this have two separate horns. Maybe because I have reg cab base model I don't get two horns?

 

You can get bags for almost anything.

This.

 

Ah okay


Also if anyone is gonna be replacing shocks, springs, leafs, etc.
Mind if i help out?
Need to learn how to do these things properly.

 

Yeah It was pretty annoying. I'm sure there is an easier way I probably overlooked or maybe a different mounting spot. Good news for you is that with only one horn, it's only half the struggle!

 

letting my bike go if anyone is interested
