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

so just to compare here.

460, + the gas puts you at about 600. are they the same gears? It would be lucky of you if it was! If not though, there goes another 175 for gears and at least another 50 for a basic rebuild kit, then you need all of the wiring and the switch...

so its not like im spending that much throwing my swap together from a ton of different parts.

 

see build.... lots of things to change....

 

I replaced the flaky Toyo trailer light tail light converter box with an aftermarket from Amazon. The OEM has been discontinued. This was easy plug-and-play and now the trailer lights work correctly again.

Also mounted a 12v LED light inside the canopy with a power quick disconntect. Awfully dark in there at night.

And dropped $300 on an HID kit from TRS to get rid of the crappy eBay stuff I put in initially. The retrofit will be a whole project unto itself but should make all of the difference...for everybody coming and going.

Child's play compared to what some of the rest of you are doing.

 

took pictures of seat covers for Madjik_Man

 

Yup 4.10 gears

 

What all add ons did u get cuz I like ur setup and I'm in the elite gb

 

How much it cost u to do it. When I got my toolbox they had 1 like that but it was for a full size truck so I had to settle for chrome

 

Installed. Deflators work fine.

 

It was $38 for 4 cans. I only used 2 1/2 on the tool box but I did 4-5 coats for extra protection. I'm going to use the rest on my rear bumper.

 

Thanks Jace.

Those look really nice. Are those the supreme ones (or whatever they're called?)

 

Was it chrome or black before? Any prep other then cleaning before applying?

 

Did u do inside also

 

looks really good, what is up with your bed though?

 

Haha my bed is exactly the same way

 

i believe so, they are the standard waterproof, breathable exact fit.

I may or may not have just spent 15mins cleaning some of my lights

 

My gf got me aux lighting for my bday!

 

It was the chrome style. My clear was basically gone already. I washed it then wet sanded the whole thing really good, then washed it again. Let it dry out really well then went to town.

Nah, thinking about doing it though.

Haha I bought the truck from my dad and he didn't prep like he should have. It's been like that for over a year now. I want to redo it but I really don't want to scrape all that off. If I redo it I think I'll buy another bed. I have some body damage from a winter "drift" anyways so 2 birds with one stone!

 

Mine does to, doesnt matter how well you prep it, using do-it-youself roll on bedliner will all look like this in a few years. There is no UV inhibitors so it fades and degrades really fast. Especially in TX. Oh and If you touch it you will get black shit on you! Im such a cheap ass.
