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

Sweet looking setup! What is the under layment for the tent?

 

Finally finished messing with my bumper except clear coat and some wiring.
Really happy with how the hidden solenoid turned out and happy with the remote plug in the bumper.

 

Full yakima setup..... If that is what you meant!?!

 

Went full bro, swapped the trail grapplers for mud grapplers

 

Tread pattern looks like 2 weiners hugging it out LOL

 

Just joined the forum, here is the only decent picture of my Tacoma that I can find right now. Using it to pick up new wheels/tires for my Jeep.
2004 Pre-Runner 2wd 88k miles

 

Welcome, Great choice on tires for the Jeep, I was up in the air on those but they were just too heavy for what I need.

 

They're fantastic tires for playing in the rocks. I'll be looking for the tire section on the forum to find a good street tire for the Taco.

 

I ended up with the BFG AT KO2 in a load range C cause they are only 45 lbs and they so far are a great tire.

The MT/R are a load range E only at 55 lbs. and I feel the BFG will be a better all around tire for 90% highway that I do.

 

I have the ko2 load range D just about 52 pounds a piece. Can't say no to 10 ply lol

 

Haha they're a bit too big for the Taco (35x12.50r15) plus they'll get more use on the Jeep. I've had some Goodyear Forterras on it since 2009 and it's almost time to swap em out, I'm leaning towards the MichelinLTX M/S 2 for it this time.

 

I've ways wanted a 3 foot long tail with a hand on the end. Preferably a right hand.

 

You're not in Texas are you? I have a set of practically new ms2s in the garage, 265/75/16

 

Actually I am. Howd you guess? I currently live in College Station but will be moving to Fort Worth next month.

 

Sad news. The bumper reinforcement bar is rusted into the original bumper so badly that I can't remove it, and the bumper that I bought (just realized now) didn't come with a reinforcement bar. So, I have to wait until Aug 12th for the bar to ship in.

Here are some pics of the nasty original.

I'm from Duluth, MN. Plus the bumper is a POS, you probably don't want it. I see that your taco description says "1998," I'm looking at your recessed head lights and I'm wondering... Is it actually a 95-97? Not trying to be a dick, just genuinely curious!

 

Hahaha young grasshopper! He did the 95.5-97 swap on the grille. Most of the grilles are swap able with a little work. I believe his is a 98

 

that bumper is worst than mine! and mine fell off...

 

He's just a weirdo that went the wrong direction in his upgrades.

 

My bad. Thought you were getting a new front bumper.

And yes, my truck is a 1998 but I swapped the front end look to a 95-97 because it's the most badass looking of the eras.

vvvvvvvvvv As you can see by all the sour grape jelly vvvvvvvvv

If you ever meet Ol' Red you won't be able to take your eyes off of him.
