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

Finally fixed my antenna. There was a screw nub stuck inside the mount from when the previous owner broke the antenna off, and I had just never really bothered to deal with it. Managed to extract the broken screw so I now have radio!

 

did this take all the lean out?

 

Not sure which lean you mean.

If you mean the driver side "Taco" lean, no. I've got the OME 5mm trim packer to account for some of that.

These spacers go on both sides and are accounting for the added weight of the Elite bumper and soon to be mounted BudBuilt skids.

And when I get a winch, I'm going to get forced into some custom C/Os. Life is so hard...

 

Looks killer, man! Damn good lookin truck!

 

Well, I could say a few negative things about it

 

did you have to extend the top blate bolts? for the 1/2" spacer or the 10mm spacer? Im guessing thats why there was more to do? Im about to put in a driver side 1/4" (6.5mm) top plate spacer. Hopefully I wont have to add longer top plate bolts!?!

 

The 10mm came with extended bolts and those are the ones installed. I had a shop install the extended studs when I had 882s installed.

I'd expect it'd be easy enough to figure out if don't need extended studs. Just measure how much stud sits above the nut. Or if you have the spacer, set it on top and see how much of the stud sticks above.

 

forgot to post that I did the 2-low mod (very helpful when towing my trailer in the campground).

Changed my diff oil... Had to drain it and refill it because I forgot the crush washer

Took my topper off!

 

Seafoamed her and my check engine light went off lol jk. Tomorrow oil change and maybe new LBJs

 

Thinking of doing this myself. Have a can I bought on sale at Advance quite a while ago, but was a tad intimidated by the process .

 

Installed my CB radio

 

Haha. Exact same model I just bought. What antenna are you using? I ordered a Wilson 1000.

 

Firestik Firefly 4' Antenna on a B.A.M.F. antenna mount.

 

Got my new bumper fillers. Just waiting for the clearcoat to dry and I can put my turn signals on them and be legal again.

Brooo lean! Maybe its time I look into some new and heavier duty leafs...

 

What'd you use to hold it up?

 

Nothing, it sits I between the plastic well enough to just sit there. I'll use the actual mounts that it came with if it starts to fall out. I just have to find somewhere to mount the mic holder.

 

Looks good it's funny to see a radio with cassette tape player

 

Thanks. I'm glad it has a cassette! It's how I play music from my phone haha I hate the FM tuner auxiliary players.

People keep asking me why I still have the stock radio. But I'm trying to get all of the stuff I need for my truck before I start getting stuff I want. I new radio would be nice though...

 

I was too. I was super easy though. Check out this thread:
