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

Thanks!
Not sure. But we didn't have to cut much. The better option to not have to cut would be to make a mount that didn't sit so low beneath the lightbar. If it weren't for that we wouldn't have had to cut up just back so you could move the light up and down for aiming

 

i thought about that but that was just another reason for cops to pull me over, didnt really wana try and explain that one

 

That bumper was a pain in the ass to get back on, I could only imagine doing it by yourself! Turned out great and a lot cleaner than I'd expected

 

Last night drove through a ridiculous storm. It was pouring buckets, and I credit my BFG All Terrains for getting me home safely. Those things are frickin grippy!

 

That's Lord of Light to you

 

From this day forward, you shall be known as Hyperion.

 

Got my new Moto Metal 951's mounted today, 16x8, 4.5BS, 0 offset. Looks sweet! Only problem now is i have a vibration in the steering wheel that started on way to tire shop and the front passenger wheel looks like it is leaning way in. Think upper ball joint took a shit. Just my luck!

 

Nice!

Gonna angle em? im interested to see how those throw light.

 

Yea how im doing mine. All angled out really..Light forces strait ahead, then the middle hellas slightly outside those, then the outside hellas out side those..should be a nice spread.

Hopefully you can HID them later too

 

That's the point haha

 

Put some plywood on the floor of my bed boxes. Figured it would help reduce wear and tear from all the other metal stuff sliding around in there and deafen some of the noise. Also, turns out my exhaust studs that bolt the section of exhaust before the cat up to the headers had come loose. Now I finally know where all the racket was coming from when I would get into the throttle. Tightened those up and its a much quieter ride.

 

Got back from a boarding trip to Wolf Creek to find my off road lights on my bed. I tried to install them behind my Satoshi and ended up cracking my Satoshi to find out that the lights don't fit behind the grill because of how close the radiator is and also some little pipe things... so i guess I have to mount them to the bumper

 

Just curious on how you bent the sign. Did you score it with something?

 

a sheet metal bender that was out at the college, it didnt give exact angles so it was a trial and error till i got it right.

 

need details!!

Like how did you bend it?

I need a skid plate, But I have stop signs!!

 

its pretty thin metal and has quite afew dents but has held up much better than i predicted, even hit it on acouple things just to test it im not sure on the exact angles and it will change for everyone, i didnt have the factory mounts because i bent those, so i just mounted a piece of angle iron to the factory spot and drilled holes for the bolts

 

not today but yesterday. got my new housings and corners in. trimmed the corners so, my bigger bulb used for running and turn signals fit. then i installed my new Morimoto HIDs from retrofitsource..... all i have to say is holy crap i can see now!!!!!!

 

Do you have any output pics? I have the same housings and was wanting to pick up some hids and then retro it later (since I can't really afford to do it together). 35w 5000k or 6000k?

 

Looks good man
