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

Finished mounting my bumper today. Only had 6/10 bolts in. Had to dremel out the four other holes to line it up but I got it.

 

I did the deckplate mod, but without the deckplate

 

Yet you post no pics

 

Haha well it looks the same as the last pics I posted/the ones in my build page. Just now has more bolts.

 

Just checked out the build page, looks nice!

 

Thanks man. I like it a lot. Just need to get more lights

 

Front mostly done.
B.A.M.F LCA skids

Rear tomorrow

 

We can never have enough lights!

 

They work just fine.

2nd Gen Part No. - 90467-10107

Got a bag of 50 for $10 off of ebay by searching on the Toyota part number. Straight from China so it'll take a bit of wait to receive, roughly 2 weeks.

 

Mounted the winch, wired/plumbed both ARB lockers and finally got the light bar on the roof for good

 

Janx looks good! If anyone is interested in a BAMF LCA skid plates send me a pm. I never installed mine and I don't think I will

Look into getting some 14" kings with a 700lb rating. Take care of that preload

 

Looking at installing an inverter (500 watt, 1,000 watt peak) and was wondering about ground, does it need to be run back to the battery or is grounded to a seat bolt fine? Or since it'll be AC on one side do i need to do both?
It only came with the alligator clips for +/- so I'm assuming a + run from the battery and a - back to the battery.

According to the calculator a 6-8 gauge wire would work great for a 10-13 foot run, does this sound right?
12 volts at 500 watts= 41.6 repeating amps.

 

I have mine grounded back to the battery. I was advised to to that by an audio/video guy but not sure if that's best practice. I used 4 guage(I think) on a 1,000 watt inverter.

 

Brian truck looks awesome! But it's no longer an ifs bolt on TG build, a little to advanced for this crowd

 

Subbed to the build...

 

Awesome, thanks for the info.
What type of fuse holder did you use? The autozone ones are only rated for 32v/30a, I'd use a breaker but I can't find any manual reset ones around, and I've heard the auto reset ones can have issues if they're by a heat source (I consider in the engine bay by a heat source.

 

They have the manual reset breakers at auto zone on the electrical Isle.

 

Whoo! Finished most of my truck up just need to hook uo the fuel cell and do the brakes

 

Pfft. You don't need brakes!

 

Priced out four new wheels on Amazon. $525 for the wheels and shipping is only $781. I love living where I live...
