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

all the 95-97s came with "flares" that really where just chrome wheel trim. Only stuck out like .75'' of an inch MAYBE haha looks so much better with them off.

98-00 have either flares and 01-04 have the biggest of all.

 

I am looking a buying a deck plate for my 2.7 liter. Any suggestions on what size?

 

Thanks!

 

Thanks man. I don't mind the black ones at all but like the color match a bit more. Go for it!

 

Any tips on making your own? What size/type of metal? How much longer?

Been some what thinking of building my own too.

 

X2. The only thing some of them had was little chrome trim. The 98-00 had the first actual fender flare

 

True. When it comes to timing belt, should it be Gates or Aisin?

 

You have a 2.7 right? You have a timing chain

 

Gates is great. Aisin is just stock and fine. Both will work.

and yes..you have a chain..haha good catch

 

It's for a 98 tacoma

 

The chrome strip you guys are talking about was on the SR5 model trucks. My 96 has fender flares:

 

Puttin it in the 98 3.4 TRD Limited guys

 

Someone put those on there. They didn't come stock with those

 

oh. Then what Blackdawg said

Hmm. Im not sure if thats stock?

 

those aren't stock flares man.

Look like jungle flares.

No 96 came with flares like that

 

Guys.... Those are stock fender flares lol

 

Why do you think they are stock?

 

They look factory to me, plus my grandpa bought the truck new in 96.

Unless the dealership would have installed them

 

Thank you for those: just in time.

 

well good thing I checked this out. Didn't know it was not recommended to reuse the crank pulley bolt.
