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

Love it. Did you respray the grille or just washed it?
Edit: nvm I see what you painted, on the top of the bumper itself. Keep it color matched

 

I like the look of the pre runners, with the color matched bumper. I want to do mine, but Heard that painting chrome is a pain!

 

Not that bad, I color matched my chrome grille and it still looks great. Its all about the prep work.

 

I believe it's the limiteds with that package. It's just a matter of sanding it real good, priming, and sanding in between coats. Have to take your time though

 

Paint dat chrome and it'll look better

 

Installed my clone Techstream (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C9B32J4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) - actually received a verion 9.x of the software - and hooked up to the Taco. No issues reported Sometime soon I will hook it up and drive for a bit, collecting data to analyse later. Amazing how little info you can actually grab off these older '97 ECUs. My '09 Camry has loads of info and settings I can control with the Techstream.

Best $26 I have spent!

 

Starred at her... Jacob, its time to get going on the bed modifications

 

Is your interior oak? And, what is the color of the wheelskin you got?

 

Interior is grey, I think its just bad lighting. Color I got was grey as well. Taking better pics tomorrow morning.

 

cool and thanks. With the lighting the way it is, it has me rethinking going with black on my oak interior. Probably just go with their oak and live with the slight mismatch.

 

Any of you guys used the LED headlight bulbs from the classifieds here?

I have a Homer Taco grille coming and want to fix a bunch of crap at one time.

I have a new set of Toyota headlight housings and want to put the LED bulbs in them. I plan on retrofitting the old housings down the road, just not now. I am currently running the Silver Star Ultra bulbs but I am not happy with the life of them. I replaced them when I bought the truck and I have already had to replace one. The majority of my driving is at night, 3rd shifter, and the 145 quoted life is lousy.

I also have a transmission cooler sitting on the bench waiting to be installed with the grille.

 

It's trail gear but I got it through low range

Wasn't considering the Lifetime LED bulbs.

Edit:

That's what I was seeing in the thread, short life span. Maybe I should just do the retrofit and truck on.

 

Finally got my switches in today, wired them up and did some finishing touches on the horns and compressor

 

Take a video of this thing. Looks like a fun mod. Lol.

 

Do I spy powder?

 

Video doesn't do it justice haha but I'm gonna get another one.

Almost liquid tape container haha

 

Sometimes it's nice to do a stupid fun mod. I have a PA installed that I almost never use but is fun to mess with sometimes.

 

I had my PA amped it was fun for a few months haha
