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

I'm not ready to remove it yet - too used to having it, I think it looks weird without it. Probably just have to do it and get used to it, since it seems like there is consensus that it looks better without it.

Although, I can see from chip marks in the deflector that I would have had many chips in the paint if it wasn't for the reflector, so it is doing it's job.

Thought the picture looked pretty cool

 

His looks better because of the bumper hoops, yours looks fine.

 

It does look cool

 

Agreed.. once you get an aftermarket bumper, I don't think it flows so well. IMO

 

Thanks man!

Thanks, agreed. Didn't think it would change that much but im definitely happy i did it!

Mine had chip marks under it haha, i think the person who I bought it from put it on right before I bought it.

Hoops FTW

 

ordered the reverse switch replacement piece locally and pick it up tomorrow.

will tackle it next week with my brakes instal.

$40 to instal the part seemed a little ridiculous.

 

40 bucks for install? Wow

 

think im pretty well past the break in period. Its goten smoother and with normal driving you can barely tell when its engaging. Only thing ive noticed is theres more of a clunk going between drive and reverse. i had no experiance with the lock right but was worried about the road manners and got the no slip. I think its worth the extra money. Rocky road has best prices i could find

 

ludicrous... and its $58 for the part at the local dealer.............WTF!

 

New taars..

 

Aluminum or Steel bumper?

 

Steel

 

Holy big tires batman!!! Looks wicked dude

 

Looks much better!

 

Can you say mall crawler? Haha hope to see it in person soon!

 

WTF indeed. MSRP is $39.68 (as given by both Camelback and Village Toyota)

Original part number was 84210-12040 and superseded by 84210-52050 (the one I posted earlier.)

http://parts.camelbacktoyota.com/parts/2002/Toyota/Tacoma/DLX/index.cfm?siteid=214329 and search on 84210-12040

So, not sure if they have the right part given they are wanting $58 for it. Either that or Toyota Corp needs a phone call.

 

theyre actually tiny...

thanks dude!
Just waiting on chromos now

You can say that.. it is after all a prerunner
Will be in upper GA mountains for a trip early august

 

I had the counter monkey look up the part number and even though I claimed it was cheaper from another dealer he insisted $58 is the cost.

I did not buy from them but I ordered from the truck shop and will pick up tomorrow cause james was too busy today to have anyone actually have the part ready. even though it was there.

I think if I recall the truck shop wants $40 for it.. I will call again tomorrow and clarify.

This is not a part I have to replace but more of a want as I have ambers on my rear light bar that work fine for reverse for now, So I can order it online and wait.

 

Those are tiny? My 35s are tiny
