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

Finished up the winch mount

 

x2.....

 

I went with Grizzly Grip because they made a custom color for me and because I could roll it myself. It was about $400 for 4 gallons and only used 3 which ended up being 3 coats. I went with fine texture and can't decide if I should go with fine or coarse with the fender flares and bumpers.
If you don't coat it the same color the truck already is I recommend spraying door jams and few other places. Glad I had extra paint at home!!

 

Getting my tint done in a couple hours. Too bad the darkest I can go up front is 43%

 

ANNNNnND I'M DonE.

 

finished up my safety lights

 

Nice!

 

I'm going to cry when I see that my 881s have been delivered and I'm not there to tear open a package like Christmas day in the middle of may

someone console me and tell me that they'll be there when I get home just as safe as a bug in a rug

 

My 1/2" drill bit snapped in half. Gonna have to finish tomorrow.

 

Stop me if you've heard this one before...

 

Replaced that chitty 1st gen dome light with LED from superbrightleds.com
Old Bulb vs New Bulb

Heck of a difference.

I'll get some night pictures once it gets dark tonight.

 

I did the same about a year ago.

So bright at night. I can see into most nook and crannies in my truck now whereas I couldn't see anything with the stock incandescent bulb.

 

they do not disappoint! have the same ones both in the dome and map light. also have LEDs for the reverse lights. helpful at night but wish they were a tad brighter

 

cleaned her inside and out, also got my CB all properly wired.

 

Been wanting to do this. Which bulb should I get for reverse lights.. Which ones are the dome light

 

superbright has a chart online that helps you out.
i got the reverse lights from Ebay. i might still have the box laying around somewhere. I'm studying for finals right now but when they wrap up i can see what i can do to help

 

I think I got those same reverse lights...I love them. They are fairly directional though (straight out the back), but do help a lot since I got the cap...can see pretty well when backing at night now I did see some that have 360 degree LEDs (which would offer more spread)...will have to see if I can remember where I saw them...

Here's the expired eBay listing of the ones that I got (for the 01-04...there's another version for earlier models): http://www.ebay.com/itm/151007966900?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649&afsrc=1

They are a LOT more bright than the incandescents...


Just replaced my reverse bulbs with LEDs and they're BRIGHT!!! by Kathy / Analog Soul Photography, on Flickr

They were well worth the $15.99 for two.

 

i have the 360 degree one. just a cylindrical center with leds situated around the core, its flood pattern

 

I think RMAN got the ones from superbrightled.

Cost about $20 each but he says they're insanely bright.
