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

Door is new..but the cab and bed have been painted

 

had to get a new door but i could only find one in white so im painting the whole truck to match

 

the door got replaced only because i had it and was in better shape than the original door was and im painting the whole truck any way.

 

For the price they can't be beat.

Weren't you the one that convinced me to put 19" on the driver and 18" on the passenger though?

 

FWIW i've got that same beam style wiper from Anco - i'm in the same boat, they're not bad, not amazing... but they work.

 

So this weekend i got a bit over work done on the truck for my new treadwright M/t's. Last week i got some stock length Shackle arms from 4-Crawler to replace my 1-3/4" longer shackle arms so Saturday i installed them, which took abnout 45mins..super easy and i also pounded the shit out of the pinch welds and i added my 1.25" BORA Spacers. then right as i finished these puppies arrived

Sooo Sunday i got them mounted up at firestone so heres a picture of how she sat with the old crappy 265's and the 1-3/4" shackles from AP and AP 3" lift

And here she is now with the new Treadwright Guad Dog M/Ts in 285/75/16 and with the stock length 4-Crawleer shackles which lowered the back about 1 to 3/4".

 

Here the UV kills them over the summer.

Now that Ol Red is garaged maybe they'll last longer than the 6-8 months I change them.

I'm hyperanal about wiper blades/windshields though...

 

Good thing at only $7.99 each (sometimes buy one get one free) at Costco, it's affordable to replace.

 

Your gonna love the white

 

jr97's white taco is def one of my favorites.

 

Erm, I don't think so. I used to put longer-than stock blades on my 93 because there was room to spare at each end of the arcs, but not this truck.

 

I think I'm still on my stock wipers lol they suck

 

Oh, so that's why you need so many lights.

$20 on wipers or $3000 on lights...

 

Going from the ultimate color, Sunfire Red Pearl, he's gonna have lots of regrets

 

You can put 19s on the driver's side and 18s on the passenger side with these blades.

 

Hey! I did the math..under 600 in lights thank you very much

But yea..i do definitely need some

 

Got my bumper powder coated / installed just over a week ago, but never had time to post it. Now I just need some lights!

 

Hmmm. Well I'll see how they are doing after baking all summer and maybe I'll go longer next time. I'm a nut about visibility too.
