Lifted 1st gens let's see em

That is an awesome freakin picture.

 

Had 2 different people offer to buy my truck today. Felt good

 

Nice looking truck you got there! I got a few offers for my truck a little while ago too. The fact that your personal style is appreciated enough by others for them to offer to buy your truck, never gets old.

x2!!!

 

Very clean looking!











I really need to install new leafs....

 

^ show off lol

 

Haha mine's a lifted 1st gen, so I figured I'd post it in here?

 

I gotta get some lights like that! Maybe green lol

 

[/QUOTE]

You got some crazy glow coming from those amber rings. Is that just from the angle or did u paint the reflector with something gloss? Cuz I got the same amber rings and mine don't glow inside like that. Ha. Looks good tho. Re-doing mine with Trs mini 6.0's, have 5.0's now but my reflector broke inside the housing..

 

It's just the picture. I edited it that way. It is bright, but doesn't throw that much light on the inside of the housing.

 

Brent now has one of the sexiest 1st gens on TW

 

Haha thanks. To bad it's not as capable as many on here!

 

OFF TOPIC, I know, but I had to show off too.. ha.
Yeah I think yours are brighter than mine. You must have updated versions. I got replacement ones too that have the phosphorus coating that hides the individual led's better.
But damn. They really are sexy
Mine with all the other DRLs might appear like, "too much" on picture, but they really do look much better in person. Although I really like the simpler styles like yours too. But I went crazy with it. It became an led addiction. Lmao.


Then this is a night shot of them as of now, the whites I had in back of shroud are disabled cuz one side went out:/ Probly just leave them out when I re-do it.


Then another shot of my turn signals(hazards onin pic)


Ok I'll stop now.. lol.

 

^^ the truck I showed you that made you get orange halos! haha

 

Your voltage regulators for your halos may be bad. They do look dime (may be just the pic). When I first put mine in I had one work and one was dim. I called TRS and they sent out another regulator…that one was bad too as it made the halo dim as well. TRS then sent out a whole diff set, and that fixed all issues. Just a thought, something to consider. Your truck looks great with the light combo you have.

 

Wasn't sure where to post this question so I'll try here...I'm about to order my lift and I want to make sure I'm getting the best prices I can. For the 5100's (from Downsouth Motorsports), OME Dakar packs, exhaust bracket, u-bolts, and Eibach coils (all from Toytec), it's looking to be about $1200 shipped. Any thoughts from people who remember what their setup ran them? Thanks

 

I Bought this exact set up a couple months back. I got everything from toytec and I paid $1,015. Your first thing is to make sure and use the toytec discount that they give to TacomaWorld'ers. I think its 5% off. Also I talked them down on price a little more after the discount. I tried to get as close to $1,000 as possible. After shipping my total came out to $1,050 and then they brought it down to $1,015 which I was pleased with. Call them and they will get that price down for you, atleast -$60 bucks less for the TW discount.

your also going to need a Brake Proportioning Valve Bracket for the rear breaks after lifting

 

Heres the Thread your looking for...

Exactly what I needed, thanks!

 

I just ordered the ultimate kit for my 97 with UCA's. Just wanted to see if there was any tips/best practices out there. I have very limited experience with doing this, I put a lift on a 94 wrangler about 16 years ago. I read everyone's comments and never would have thought of putting the rear shocks with the covers down. So any info like that would be appreciated. I will post pics once its on.

 

Only put the rear shocks with the boots down, if the stamping and stickers on the shocks can still be read right side up.
