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

can someone with a shell do my a favor and measure how far out the rear window opens i want to see if a shell will work with my tire carrier.

 

Installed my mag lite mount.

 

I dont know exactly where your tire sits but my rear window measures 20" vertically and if I hold it horizontal it sticks out 1' from the tailgate. Hope that helps.

 

Don't have a measurement, but your tire is gonna have to sit either really low, or really far out to avoid not having to open the swing out to open the rear glass. Here is a side shot of mine. No way to open the glass of the cap without opening the swing out.

 

I put mine there. You can't move the passenger seat forward without removing the light, and the screws will strip out of the plastic fairly quick. I'm going to put washers and nuts on the back side of mine to hold it firm. I kind of wish I picked a better spot.

 

x2 haha Sucked getting everything to finally mount well... I used quickfists though which are a little thicker...

 

Got my 5100/Eibachs installed and just placed a retrofit order.

 

I saw Jerry mount it to the inside of the door I think in the unique mods thread. Still unsure if I will mount it near the shifter or the door spot. I like the thought of my maglight being in a really accessible location.

 

I like where I mounted my mag lite. pretty easy to get to

 

I'd be worried it would smack me in the head if I got in a wreck... Haha

 

That accident was due to a cold bonded lap joint; it had nothing to do w/the windows (which have rounded corners). The process was changed to a heated bond (applied just before riveting the lap joint together).

 

That picture was taken before i was done with the install. i had the feeling someone would say something about the missing seatbelt

 

I might have too
Thanks guys ! I love it !

 

Installed some CBI ditch light brackets and derpd my emblem. The derp was me compensating until i buy a new grill to do a satoshi on.

 

I ordered the black fj trail team wheels. If I put KM2s on them should I turn white letter out or in?

 

Letters facing in

 

That's entirely up to you! Whatever you think looks good. I have my letters facing out but my truck is ALL black. So it sorta has that BTTF look to it

 

Letters in, mine where out for a week lol

 

Replaced the broken trim piece...
