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

Yup. Different seller probly. But yeah. And you're probably talking about my write-up. Lol. Yeah they are awesome. But I did mention the same things about quality as well. Ha. The filler panel write-up? Or something different perhaps and those you listed are better than what I tried maybe!?

 

I haven't seen your write up, I'm just doing what a guy did on Facebook, I don't know for sure. I guess for little more than a dollar a light they probably aren't the best. Mine seem pretty sturdy.

 

Hmm. Got a link to those? Maybe I'll order some up and compare them. Sounds like they might just be better made than mine!

 

And whomever got that idea, Probly got it from meeeee. Its mine. All MINE lol jk...
At least I'd like to think so anyways.. Heh. Did mine back in Oct '14. Here's my write-up for anyone interested..

I guess they are the same ones I got. Oh well I guess...

 

Whats the lumens on that?

 

What kind of rear bumper is that? Also what year taco?

 

I took a different approach for turn signals in the filler panel.

Got rid of the filler panel and put Oznium DRLs in. Just screw the mounting plate on the light into the grill. Paint the lense amber (or you could use laminx) and you're good to go. No having to worry about splicing 7 wires together, just plug and play pretty much.

Had to soak mine in gas. Type of sealant used didnt seem to be affected by heat.

 

Dang. Mine must have been easy to crack open cause they were from eBay.

 

Wow. Blast from the past there. haha Mikes truck looks so simple...

anyways, that's a Bad Lands bumper. Believe his is an 03..

It's a stout bumper. Little low hanging for my taste. But can handle the abuse.

 

finally got some new tires, 285-70-17 trail grapplers, new wheels (free of an fj)

 

Mine were from ebay too. They were glass also so i didnt want to pry on them. After a the soak in gas they seperated on their own weight

 

its crazy how big 285's look on our 1st gens.

If i didn't have to drive so far to work I would rock 285's for sure. My old chevy has them, but they don't look at beefy on it.

 

It had 33x12.50x15 on it (the ones in the bed), 24 mile round trip every day. Only thing I wish is, I could have got a hold of a set of st maxx 255-80-17 instead. But I only have 650$ total wrapped up in these brand new trail grapplers and free wheels, mounted and balanced.

Oh yeah, forgot the free set of spacers that came off the fj too!

Now to get my bed rack done and a front bumper/winch....

 

Sounds like you got a good deal.

 

'02. Badland bumper.

Yeah, old pic. She doesn't look like that any more. Thanks Monte.
