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

Mines been out for a year....

 

Swapped my 60/40 for buckets and a console out of a 99 in my standard cab. Hopefully, no more sore back.

 

Dream on man. Gonna need totally different seats then Toyota ones.

 

wet okoles with the lumbar support helped me

 

That's next on the list is some WOs with the lumbar and heat. Don't plan on getting rid of the truck for a while but couldn't justify Recaros or fabbing up something. The bucket is already a ton better than the worn out fat bench I was using, so I'm headed in the right direction

 

X2 I hear on 03 and 04 you gotta do some additional work because of the dimmer

 

I heard 4runner seats are nice and swap with ease

 

So apparently this is a thing. I'm sure you guys would all get a kick out of this. Make sure to call Autozone and ask them to describe what it looks like. Lol.

I clicked the link 5 times before I realized what was happening.

My seats are more of a bucket seat than the ones pictured and theyre 4 way adjustable. They might be 4runner seats for all i know but i actually do like them.

 

map lights dont dim tho?

 

Finally!!!

 

But the dome does. Plus eventually I'd like to wire my maps to come on with the dome when the door opens like I did with my 99. Used a 4runner map light setup. It's the same as ours but it has a switch for the door like the dome light.

 

you need to solder a resistor onto the dome light

 

That was cold . . . . but funny.

 

Finally got to tubing my front end to clear the fronts. Removed the fender flares to cut and was convinced to take them off for a while.

I'll get better pictures in the morning. But here's full bump before and after:

 

Did you have to cut into the firewall area at the bottom?

 

Or you could just wrap it around the ends of the bulb like I did...

 

My '92 4Runner has pretty decent seats. May look into getting another set and swapping them into the truck

 

My '94 LeBaron GTC had fantastic seats. Nearly everyone commented on how comfy they were. Had I thought ahead, I would have kept the seats before getting rid of it.
