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

These are my D2S 3.0s with Apollo shrouds. To me, they look the same size, or pretty damn close to alee891's. I think the difference is the shrouds.

Yeah, now that I think about it you both have chrome shrouds which shows exactly where the projector starts. Having black shrouds it all blends together.

 

Interested in that as $600 for D2S are just a bit outside the budget (is there really one?!?)
I am curious if the HID ballast can handle the offroading and water, lets say, Tahuya?

 

Installed my Budbuilt skids and Hella horns

 

Unless it's a wheeling only rig. Pass on the MTRs

 

Before and after.

 

Probably run ATs in the winter and have MTs for wheeling just like Brett does. Hope I can find a place with decent storage up there ha

 

Has there ever been a rig of the month or rig of the week thread? Where the members can just take turns weekly or monthly laying out the process or steps of their builds? There's quite a few trucks here that I'd love to see here in that type of a format.

 

Yeah I would if I had another set of wheels

 

Anyone ever run a 305/70R16?

 

Eh....i run my MTRs on my daily. Super anal about the rotation. We'll see how long they last. Love these damn tires thats for sure

 

That was a good solution, although I have an even better one now.

One day I'll get a daily, but not for a while

 

Two questions if you guys could help. When hitting bumps i get a sort of metalic ping/rattle and i have a small squeak in the rear when driving slowly. Neither seem bad at all just slightly annoying

Front end is all new except upper balljoint and rear has new brakes if either of those would change anything.

 

Yes. What's up bud.

 

This was the cause of my ping.

I bought coopers because my truck was still my DD but then stopped shortly after. Now I wish I got the MTR's but I think the Coopers will do great for what I need them to.

 

I put a Stainless Steel skid plate on my 1st Gen. Group buy going on for them over here.

 

Well I was hoping for someone without long travel Ahahah....but I was just curious because I like the coopers I'm running now (st maxx) but want something a little bigger than the 285"s and a 305 is a true 33 and 1/2" wider and I just wanted some input on what they are like... But kind of hard to ask you since your truck wouldn't really have clearance issues with them also considering you have glass front and rear. Id like to see them in person as I know you are running the stt pro and that's also what I was thinking of running

 

Are you guys doing a 4 or 5 tire rotation pattern? 50% tread left at 20k miles is pretty good for mtrs...
