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

Looks great, save the money on the lights and get Chinese LED's you won't know the difference. Use the money you saved on a Warn winch, Amazon has good deals on them, I have the m8000-s

 

Did a little exploring yesterday. Lack of a sway bar does make a difference.





The day before summer solstice in Alaska is probably the most frustrating time to install new lights haha. Can't test them out but I turned them on anyway.

 

x2 on the WARN m8000. I bought the regular one with steel cable and switched it out with AmSteel line. Pretty much the same price

Looking good, you know we're all about the pics.
Lack of a sway bar does make a difference... care to elaborate?

 

Looks good. I still need to paint my GW fenders. Have all the supplies sitting in my shop. Just been too busy to get it done.

 

Allen, any tips on getting the corner lights to fit well?

Also, what did you do with the side support for the headlights that is part of the stock fender? I just welded some new tabs to my core support for the headlights to bolt to.

 

Thanks. It just has a softer feel offroad. More articulation too. I was driving alone so I didn't get many pictures but it just felt more planted on uneven terrain/boulders.

 

I had to do mine before i bought my welder and i used clear caulking and it stays in fine. Not really mounted. Only to grill. And the corners always fall out with glass

 

Hey now. I knew it'd be better offroad. I still don't care for it on the highway. Wider tires/wheels may help change my mind though.

 

I made some brackets out of 1/8" ×1/2" aluminum strap to hold in the side lights. Same with head lights due to my stock mounting points are broken.

 

Also. The side lights don't fit perfect.. I could take a few pictures if you want to see..

 

What's it feel like on road?

 

Do you not have a winch?

 

Yep, I could never get the corner lights to fit perfect either and it drove me crazy. Went with the one piece headlights, and they are ok.

 

Yep love my one piece headlights

 

What brand are these they look sweet
And is their any wiring that you have to do or do the stock plugs and everything just go right in?

 

They are eBay ones. They use stock stuff. There are leds in the bottom so you can wire those

 

Dang they look awesome

 

It feels tippy. Only when you turn the wheel though....haha.

 

My right side bolt came off on my sway bar last year. While the new bolt was on order I did not like the excessive body roll at all.

 

People talk about how you'll get used to it and I believe that. But when a car cuts me off or a moose decides to jump in front of me, I will not feel safe making a quick maneuver without it on.
