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

Rucas is who gave me the heads up on these. He has a couple on his truck that he applied an amber coating to and it looked really good as well as the light output.

Thought I would try it and use the third as a single backup light or canopy light.

 

Brett, If you want to do the amber coating too, Ill give you the paint I used. there's plenty.

 

I may take you up on that. Did you hand brush or airbrush?

 

Dipped the camper shell. From this horrible 'color match'


to this



I want to add a metal bar on top with 4 lights, 2 or three forward and one backward. Is there a way I can wire up the backward lights to 2 switches? 1 for in the cab and one for the camper shell?

 

just hand brush. Its almost like a thin lacquer so it lays out nicely, and once you wet sand it, it all blends in even better.

 

Looks like a nice spread, we had fun but you didn't miss that much! Is that a marlin on the right side of the rifles? You shoot reloads?

Thanks! Love your build also

Haha never!!! I can see how you would think that though.

 

I bought me some 5100s for my fronts. Just to level it up a bit. I can't wait to get it. I also did the magic eraser on the fenders and front bumper to restore it to looking brand new. I tried the Off outdoor spray on the headlights. It took off a lot of the yellowing.

 

just took advantage of Allpro's free shipping and bought a baja front bumper, skid plate, and 1 inch spacer to add to my OME 3" set up!

 

Good times for sure. It was nice meeting you Jimmy. I only took 1 pic

 

Was real busy this morning, ran up to San Jose to pick up this beautiful bumper. Had a buddy who helped me install, son is heavy lol. And ryan is a beast... No way I could man handle that bumper on or off alone!

 

Haha, saw that too.

 

Looks good John! Now I guess I need to start designing my new one.

 

Ya ya ya.... I know

That's right, better get crackalackin! Be neat to see what rev 2 looks like. You should do it on the new plated sides bumper.

 

I have something completely different than anything cooked up in my head. Making it come to life will be a trick though.

 

Technically it is bought.

 

Oh that sounds intriguing can't wait to see it.

Ya I don't really get what it means... I mean, I do all the work on the truck, and built it up from stock :-/ whatever haha

I lol'ed when I saw that this morning... All by myself in the garage. It was creepy.

 

I had to say it lol. Bumper looks good though

 

Looks great john!

 

ordered 4 just now

"order should be ready by Dec. 6"
I'm guessing that's when they will ship out. Its a great deal

 

How does everyone have their cb's wired? Power wise. Thought about wiring it into the fuse box in the cab, don't know if that's possible.
