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

F5, but its mostly the yellow/gold color that's throwing me off on the Ray10s. I'd probably like them better if they were more bronze like the F5s

 

Added more cupholders courtesy of BH3D.

 

Another successful Mod Day.

Lifted @Hookgrip 3rd Gen
Lifted @Blue Canary 2nd Gen

Saw some familiar faces and got to hang out with @Pella @CalTacoma09 @Sharkfrog @foxrcing07 @duncnasty

And met cool new guy @unk

Everything went great... Only sketchy spot was our rachet strap jerry rig job on the spring compressor for Adam's front shocks... Larry and I had it well under control.




Tomorrow should be another fun filled day... Will be accompanying @Blue Canary and @Hookgrip on their maiden voyages with their freashly lifted (badass) rigs.... to explore some of Stanislaus National Forest.

 

LOL. I've never seen a Photoshoped version of my truck before. Good job on it.

My vote from that set, F5's. Part of why I like the 5-spoke Runner wheels.

 

What’re you gonna do with your runner wheels? Maybe you already said it I don’t know

 

Welded up my outside frame plates in preparation for my shock relocation. Had to switch to flux-core because it was too damn windy for shield gas.

Next up are the frame boxing plates tomorrow, then I’ll finally be able to move on to the shocks.

 

That's right. The bronze gold look with the green is the best.



You know you want to @turbodb

 

How are you going to get the crossmembers back in after you box the frame? @Red Baron - check out the photos to see how the 1st gen frames are open c-channel. As far as I know, the Xtracab and Double Cab frames for 1st gens are the same except for maybe the cab mounts.

 

Nice! You'll love them. I've had mine for about a year and a half and it's one of the best additions I've made to my truck.

 

Took cute pics. Might delete later

 

By far the best $20 I have ever spent at a junkyard.



No officer, YOU’RE under arrest!





Tempted to swap the lenses to Amber and run it. Just because I can.

 

What is wrong with you

 

You’re better off asking what isn’t wrong with me.

 

That coupon is so old I dont @BartMaster1234 will know the references the fine print is making

 

I forget my own age at times...

 

It happens to the best of us

 

With a welder all things are possible!! He will probably cut them and weld back on or use tube to make new cross members.

When we box our frames for the relocate im planning on using tube

 

Stranger Danger

 

There you go. You finally made up your mind. Good, it looks good.
