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

not to be nosey, but what did those run you? why not step up to a HID retrofit for ~210$

 

He's talking about his reverse lights I believe

 

Winch installed



New tire gate latch

 

It is filtered. But it is designed to spread out light. So it works nicely. Ill get some pictures when I'm finished.

 

Early this morning I rushed outside to mount my newly acquired BAMF rock sliders! It's my first real major mod on my 1st gen and I have to say, I really love these sliders!! The design and craftsmanship of these puppies are top notch, Jerry knows his sh*t!!!

 

That factory "loop" is not meant for recovery. It is a tie down look used for transport. Like when the truck is loaded on a boat or train etc. They use those just to tie it down. So it's definitely not the best idea to use it as a recovery point.

 

Those look badass!

 

Yea that's what the big ass hook on the passenger side frame is for. Haha

 

Yeah I was talking about reverse LED bulbs for $14. I payed about $23 for new headlight bulbs. I plan on doing a retrofit this Summer hopefully. I just couldn't stand the ugly yellow bulbs so I bought these to hold me over until I do a retrofit. Also, my retrofit will cost a lot more than $210 haha


So I got a few things done today. Installed my 14" Magnaflow muffler, dumped it right after the muffler.

Installed my LED reverse bulbs (can't wait to see how bright they are!)

Finally installed my diff drop kit. It didn't do much for the cv angles, but it got rid of a LOT of my vibration! So anybody that got vibration after lifting, I suggest buying one of these kits! On a side note, I found out that the previous owner apparently sheared one of the bolts for the rear skid plate. So now the back right corner of my skid hangs down slightly since I can't get a bolt in there. Oh well...

Trimmed off some of the plastic that my tires pulled out. Now the only rubbing I have are my mud flaps, which really isn't bad in my opinion.

 

Got my clutch changed today, boy what a difference. My clutch has been going out for a long time apparently Also got my rear shocks installed so I think I am going to go play

 

For later..

 

Coming

 

TG bumper installed.

Need to repaint it

 

Looking good

 

Did the rear diff breather mcgee this morning. Bought some gas hose from a parts store and ordered the misc. barb and and breather from my local Toyota stealership.

 

I still need to do this...

 

Looks good did you pick it up locally?

 

Ive had the stuff for over a month. I just didnt feel like doing it in the rain or the cold. Im done with winter!

 

Haha I know how you feel! It's almost 70 out here finally, but I don't have anything to do outside...

I'm looking up a wiring diagram for my keyless entry so I can extend the antenna range, just so I can be outside haha
