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

^that looks like the sandy mud. that stuff loves paint.

 

Looks nice. Are you happy that you went down a size? Does it feel like you got some power back?

 

Got her washed... and here's a clean shot of the 01-04 mirrors installed last week

 

So awesome!

 

Yes, feels a bit peppier. I can actually accelerate in 5th without going downhill with the wind to my back..haha

4.10's and 33's were not cutting it.

 

front diff rear diff and transfer case done today.
ran out of light and didn't have a lot of time, couldn't get the skid plate lined up for some reason so left it off. more clearance right?

 

I didn't like my 33x10.5 15 so I just ordered 32x11.5 to replace them. I have 4.56 gears and even with that I was tired of driving into a strong wind or going up a slight incline. Also I'm looking to get a little bit of mpg's back!!

 

finally finished the backup camera.... was the most stressful mod i have done yet

 

Yeah buddy, mud is the shit.

 

fixed it.

 

Lol... Mud may look like shit, but it is the shit as well.

 

The desert has spoiled me. Mud is one of those things I do not miss.

 

Mud is kind of like the government. All mud is bad, zero mud is bad.

 

Its funny, ive lived in Arizona for about 12 years and I can say that mudding is my favorite type of wheeling still. Whenever it rains I get ecstatic, whenever I see clouds I get ecstatic... Lol i love it, same with snow

 

I hear ya. Lived in Tucson for 10 years and the past 3 in New Mexico. I much prefer rock crawling but do perk up when the clouds grow dark.

 

look up n-fab

 

Well I just have got my tacoma. Im just trying to get it in shape. I lucked up and bought me a pair of feont seats off craigslist for 150 in perfect shape. My driver seat was ripped and my side plasric was busted. I also ordered me a smoked lense kt for headlights/coener/turns with 6000k hid. Lastly yesterday i ordered some 265/75/16 Toyo Open Country AT2's. Now just waiting for stuff to come in. Next im going to be ordering my rear lights, fitted floor mats, fitted seat covers, and a bed mat. Then to design my sound stage.

 

Hope you are throwing projectors in with those HID's? :/

 

Well I ordered a kit so I assumed that the housing was designed to be used with the the included hids. I hope thats the case if not it might be time to back up and do a project lol

 

Yeah your best bet would be going for a retrofit kit from TRS. They give you the most options, have the best quality and seem like the easiest to install if you get the mini kits. I plan on doing it once I get the funds. It's definitely more expensive than just getting an HID kit but at least you get it done right. Check out the group buy's to get a discount:

Just a heads up I'm not affiliated with them at all I just have been doing a shit ton of research on getting this done.
