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

i thought you were selling your truck

 

well I ordered longer u-bolts today...

got my ultragauges in the mail...

looking to order the muffler tomorrow...

BAMF custom PC'd skids are in the mail....

looking at BAMF sliders in this buy, depending on price....

waiting to see if AP has a sale to order my UCA's and wheel spacers....


got my sockmonkey partial stripe in the mail, because I fucked one of mine up on install, greg was awesome enough to send me a replacement stripe- i'll make a thread on it when I get back home

annnnnnnnnd I think that's it.

 

and apparently the guys that put my tires on said that my rear passenger wheel is warped, didn't notice it on the invoice until today and they didnt say anything when they did the swap, gotta check that out when I get back

 

you should buy it

 

sell me your bumper

 

front or rear?

Both will be sold soon enough.

 

all of my addons except the rear bed cage is bolt on.. I could go back to like stock with a few tweaks/.

 

i should, wanna give me the moneys to buy it?

 

it could be a christmas present from your folks.

 

that'd work, i'd even let you have my truck.

 

Is there a thread on the part out? Ill buy that front bumper of yours

 

is it possible to drop in a 3.4L v6 into a 2.7L 4-banger 4x4? is the drive train the same or would the new added be too much for some components?

 

from what i've read the compoents are the same except the ECU, if you get the engine from a truck that isn't the same sub generation (95-97 98-00 01-04) you might have to swap the dash.

 

once I get a different one made, I plan to redo the front and rear in the very near future amd my stuff will be up for sale... at a good price I might add.

I am thinking of doing a weld on with engine support next.

And for the rear a 2 tire stand up custom configured bumper.

These trucks can take a beating for sure.

I am fully armored too.

 

Other than the bumpers what else are you gonna sell?

 

Haha, for sure. I'm surprised how it ended up! Stoked on the boost to my build

 

I cant think of anything else that can just come off.

My bike rack/light bar maybe.

Maybe the 3 HID hella optilux on the front bumper, they all have replacement warranty too, and the fog lights since they are on the bumper.

I would like to do a headache rack with 4-5 lights on it, and have it welded to the frame and tied into the bed cage.

 

That just happened to me, BIG excuse to get bumper...







I was heading out of town to go fishing and I always "speed" up to get up a hill and got to 55mph and saw a turkey in the road. I steered over onto the shoulder and thought I might miss him but he flew just at the right time. Could have braked for sure, but said WTF Im not worried about a turkey. Minor damage for sure but I wasnt going to pay 800$ for a stock replacement, so I had some fun spending a little extra cash. I did the turn light signal on the running lights and only need to figure out a spot for license plate.

Last thing, it looks good but kinda out of place w/ no other armor... I want wheels more than sliders, any thoughts besides the TW obvious? ahaha
