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

I see your point, but I can mount the hi lift higher and yes the tire is centered but with the tiregate there is not that much room with the size tire I am running and how the tiregate system works.

If I am going out to crawl with the truck it would not be the best fit. for this particular trip I need as much bed space and rack space as I can spare.

Like I said I figured I would give it a shot and see how well it does, but for now it fits a need.

 

I didn't take it that way so no worries, I appreciate the constructive criticism. I just wanted to explain my thinking.

Here is my setup



ps , sliders go on this week!

 

Sweet truck

 

What kind did you get?

 

On a related note to my project today... whatever that two-part clear coat I used, it's a great high. I just woke up from a nap and am still a little funky.

 

Trail gear sliders. And thanks for the compliment if it was geared towards me!

 

hmmm...i bet if you welded some square tubing to mount it with the pin like it is but on the tailgate thing to the left of the tire you'd be more happy.

 

What did that tire gate run you??

 

Good shit man

 

$700

 

Haha thank you!

 

I'll have to look into that, thanks for the suggestion ! Now I just need to learn to weld!

 

haha hey be a good first project!

 

That it would!

 

Le Box Rocket

 

Yes 255s and no I didn't, have not felt the need yet until I get the ARB for the front.

I have thought about it, my rack is a bit more upright and taller and having tools on the side have been kinda a pain in my ass when putting gear on and taking it off. I do have brackets for the high lift but didn't really like it.

Keep the commentary coming, we all learn something from it, and now it looks like I need to learn to weld! Which would be cool

 

What about Quick Fists on your bed rack like this:

 

lol, nvm... late replying

 

Never really thought of that, I like that. I could mount it to the pillars!
Are they strong enough?

 

Yeah, they're really strong. I literally put everything I had into yanking on that hi lift and all I accomplished was rocking the hell out of my truck. Even with two of them for mounting... it's not going anywhere.

And it's still pretty easy to slide gear in and out in between the pillars even with the shovel, maul and hi lift in place.
