Ditched the Running Boards (for sale if anyone is interested)

 

Very likely I will be picking up a solid 1st gen pre runner in the near future to get around in. Subbed for ideas. Good luck.

 

Those aren't fogs anyway. They are turn signals

 

Ok, then then It seems like I want to move the turn signal to the corner lights. I would just move the connections to the corner lights and then I have the bumper signal area to play around with.

 

Is that a standard 1st generation thing? Turn signals where you would expect fogs?

 

decided against new headlights (despite how cool they look) and upgraded the bulbs from sylvania, 100x brighter and will do great for now!
Also did the same with some JDM reverse light mod's, Can see through three tinted windows just fine now!

- Gerber Axe
-Rotopax 4 gallon
-waterbrick tank

Next steps:
- tube Rear bumper
- sliders
- Working on a camper shell wrap around rack.


Still looking for a ext. cab sub

 

Looks like you have a pretty sweet camping setup!

 

Thanks!

Just upgraded the wheels, brake lines and added some sidertrax spacers for that mean look

 

Nice build! I just started working on mine. Where you from in the bay area?

 

East Bay, Berkeley

 

Nice build, makes me think about keeping my prerunner

 

You should!

I decided to hold off on the spacers because I felt the negatives outweighed the benefits
Getting the SS brake lines put on today along with some TRD rims off a 2013

Also picking up a Stainless Steel TRD cat back exhaust system!

 

Ya but I enjoy off roading and not having a locker or 4x4 is quite a pain at times

 

yours doesn't have a rear locker?

 

Check out the cosmetic section of this thread and see if it has what you are looking for.

Added a All PRO tube rear bumper

Doing an OME lift and ARB front bumper

Picking up 285 KO2s within the next few months!

 

Update:

Ended up getting a killer deal on an all pro apex front bumper (to match my rear!)

Getting some PIAA 4" lights that will go in the bumper
+
OME lift with 2882's no AAL

 

Final shot with the last of the chrome before the truck is all black !

 

Sweet truck! How do you like the rear bumper? I have the AP front tube bumper and want to get a rear soon but I think I want something with a swingout.

Keep the pictures coming!

 

I like it for the wrap around. Hard to find a good wrap around bumper that isn't over 1K.
Swing out could be nice but I don't really have a need for it personally.

I am putting on an all pro plate bumper in the front and may go plate in the rear as well, not sure!
