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

Finally got around to installing my OME lift kit. It was supposed to add about 2.5" all around, but I think I got a little more than that, haha.

All I have are bad pics from the middle of the night, so I'll try to get some better ones today to post!

 

Measuring and weighing them right now! completely forgot man sorry bout that

 

Ha no biggie man. Just a friendly reminder

 

Haha nice! I would have flexed mine all the way but I was scared I was going to crack my fender flare! I need to move the axle forward 1" as well to make it line up with the fender wells perfectly...

 

How does one do this? I'm just clueless

 

No pics but repainted the center console, wired the topper along with running a wire straight to the battery so I can use the dome light when ever, and did the deck plate. Seriously my engine sounds like sex when revved up.

 

This is the only way I know of without major modification...

Sweet! Thanks for the link. I always wondered why my rear tires were so close to the mudflaps and not centered in the wheel well. May have to do this in the future.

 

Yeah, it bugs me that it's not lined up perfect haha Doesn't look too hard to install. Remove the u-bolts and the shocks, insert the plate pull the axle forward and reinstall... BoxRocket did his I think so I'm going to ask him questions before I go through with it.

 

Does anyone know if the tail lights from an 01-04 would bolt on to a 2000? Mine are busted so if I VHT them the crack will show really bad. I like the bubble style on the newer ones and want to pick up a set to smoke.

 

It should

 

Mine has been like that for as long as I can remember.

A theory I've read here is: as your leaf springs sag over time the axle position shifts towards the rear.

 

It should bolt up but there's something different about the wiring. (can't remember off the top of my head)

 

I'll see what google can find for me. I'm pretty sure the bulb layout is the same; Blinker on top, reverse in the middle, brake on the bottom so I'm thinking it should work.

 

Now I remember.. it was 45acp telling me in person

 

I will be selling these when I figure out the cost. Should be about $200 before shipping.

 

Ha sounds like a headache. What about just swapping the lenses rather than the whole assembly?

 

3/16ths? 1/8th?

 

3/16". I can also do high strength 3/16" for $20 more. Or other thicknesses on request I suppose.

That design is 55 lbs.

And I think I can send them for about $40 to Colorado for reference.

 

I have 01-04 lights on my 99...
