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

Actually, my rear end is cut off......

I'm switching to a 2nd gen rear end locked and geared at 4.56

 

But with those 60/40 bench the ladies can sit right beside me

 

This is how fqr my cb sticks out with the 90° adapter in the back. No modifications to air duct. Also snapped a photo of what u cut behind the radio.

 

Haha one of the things my gf liked better about my 96 Tacoma and 02 Silverado. This is my first vehicle without a bench seat.

 

This is where I have my switches.. I now have two in there one for my 50" one for my dust light

 

Hey I wish I had a little more storage at times but wouldn't trade them if it came down to it lol. My girlfriend loves the 60 40 too. Damn thing just hard to find seat covers for!

 

Sooooo glad my other truck has a bench seat

 

Been fighting this stupid PO171 code all summer, after some inspection of the engine today, I have a blown head gasket

 

Learned something new today.

Also clock location switches ftw:



When I get a winch I will wire the switches to the center console.

 

I want to use the clock location for winch switches. Only two I can think of that I want right side by side.

 

So how are you guys mounting your CB in that spot?? I'm genna cut mine tomorrow but what kind of bracket system are you guys using??

 

Here's what I cut on the back, I still need to try to push some stuff back to get it to fit a little more flush. No bracket needed.

 

You just shove it in? Lol

 

Pretty much haha works better if you have a 90 degree elbow for the coax plug so you can push it back farther.

 

Haha alright! How are you getting that middle section of the dash out? Anything I should know or is it just some screws?

 

Screws. Many said it was easy, but my screws were in there good. But I was able to get it out eventually. The. Just cut the back off and you should be good to go. Many people have heated up the a/c duct to push it back some to make the cb set in flush.

 

Yeah, many people have used stuff to secure it as well. Mine has done pretty well and not moved around at all so far unless I physically pull on the radio.

 

Zips ties. Use a heat gun to soften the air duct behind the console and flatten it just a tad so the coax 90 can slide a tinge further in…results in flush mount.

 

What did you use to push the ducting back after heating it? I need to do this at some point.

 

I used the handle end of my east wing hammer.
