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

Ha! Thanks, man! I little bit of my OCD while making that grill!

Thanks! Appreciate it!

Also added some lights to the new bumper! The LED fogs in the recesses, and then retrofitted my Hellas to 8000K 55w (they are bright as hell)!!!

 

Go take a grinder to perfectly good white paint in order to weld to it... Of all the dents I have that seemed to bother me the most for some reason when I was making light mounts by the windshield.

 

here ya are fellas. tried to color match it as best i could, im taking if off next weekend for a re sand/ repaint. i love the white grill surround, wayyy better looking than the chrome



good lookin truck mmcmahan2206

 

Looks good man! Never seen a color matched 98-00 grille before Those grillcrafts are pretty pricey though huh? or no?

 

x2 that grille looks good but he might have done the mesh himself

 

Roll cage?

 

honestly for me it was worth it. it cost me about 200 more than i thought because i had zero tools lol. but it was just a good excuse to go get me some! haha. its really not too bad to install. ordered a brand new grill from ebay, so i could use the old grill to practice cutting with the sawzall. the paint is the big mess up for me, im gunna go get a can and a brush instead of the rattle can. the trd sticker on the hood is also coming off as well


so all in all the gc was 150 on Amazon, the new grill was 30 on ebay.
tools/paint was 200.

 

It looks good man. I'm planning to satoshi maybe this summer, but I don't have any of the necessary tools nor have I ever used fg and bondo before

How did you get the emblem on?

 

Getting my windows tinted now.

 

andres horns come with mounting screws. ive actually had this emblem since his last batch, ( i ordered a 4runner emblem, biggest ebmlem for the $). So i had to wait of the grill craft. So its like a double whammy for veronica i got rubber washers to on the screws (picture below) and there was more than enough thread left over to be mounted securley. the only downside is that i was only able to get two of the screws in while using the grillcraft.... however it is very tight on there and its going nowhere



that satoshi is gunna look badass dude, im a little more partial to the grill craft for the only reason that it gives more space and im planning on cramming some adv monster leds behin the grill

 

Ha! And make my hands bleed again?!? How much ya wanna pay me???

You are correct, sir!

 

not tryna kill potental buisness for ya, but its really not too hard to do, if you have a buddy with a sawzall and drill, your good. i just bought tools cuz im trying to expand my tool selection anyway. im a big dumb idiot when it comes to making things myself and making it look good, but shit mine turned out good right? lol

 

Nice!!

Also..what bender is that. Looks slick.

 

Same bender we use at CFS Offroad, works awesome!!

 

JD2 model 3 with the Affordable Bender adpater and HF jack

 

Where do you guys mount your CB's? I just bought one off a local member yesterday and it won't fit under my single din radio so I'm looking for ideas.

 

we did all this with the exact bender but we used a HF air jack instead of manual.
