New Member, Longtime Lurker

Hey,

I have been lurking the site pretty much since I got my Tacoma 4cyl. sr5 and decided that I wanted to start doing some work on it.


Here it is when i picked it up:



And here it is after I got the Backrack and CB Antenna setup.


I am working on installing a Fog Light kit this week and will have to take some pictures after I get everything set.

I am looking for some ideas/suggestions on some mods/lighting.
I am thinking of doing some interior footwell lighting as well as some bed lighting.

Any suggestions are appreciated and from the picture above it looks like I need a new Bruins Spoked B sticker.

P.S.

My Pal Neela loves to ride shotgun, so lets say dog fur is an issue for sure.

 

Welcome and nice rig!

I bought my bed lights from @mattgecko

Thanks for the info,

I will look at this for sure.

Howd the install go?

 

really smooth, the instructions he includes are straightforward

 

Also thinking LED Bar in the lower valence, i am not too keen on cutting the stock plastic out though...

ideas?

 

I have a 30" mounted behind it and I like the light output of it

THAT IS NEXT!

i am assuming you used brackets to the bumper blocks behind there?
howd you get at it back there??

and thanks scottalot

 

By the way i can see how this site is going to "lighten" my wallet substantially

 

hah yea so true. could be worse addictions

i was just checking out SOS offroad concepts, pretty sick looking bumpers etc.

 

Welcome!

 

rattletrap, any specifics on that bad larry. Im looking at 20-30" bar mounted just like yours. Any chance you have pics of the install or anything?

 

I used a 30" light bar that I got off Amazon for cheap (100$) cheap lol. I mounted it with the mounts that it came with directly to the crash blocks that support the aluminum crash bar. To access it I removed my front bumper cover which was pretty easy by myself.
I pretty much followed this thread but I didn't use an angle iron and I mounted it to the blocks a little back so I didn't have to cut the lower grille. Also I followed this video on how to remove the grille and bumper. Good luck!
