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

Redline Hood struts were one of my first mods and still one of my favorites:

Range from $80-130 depending on which one you get.

 

where are you driving? I find it varies by officer and location more than anything.

I've never had issues with anyone but we have only mostly 2 lane highways and a TON of deer/elk/turkeys/bears/lions/cows/ect that you can hit. So most don't really care as long as your respectful.

 

Cool, I was referring to the offset.

 

Denver and surrounding area.

 

I went with Spiker Engineering hood struts.
They were $84.00 delivered.

 

the retrofit headlights or the 9" leds? im sure its possible to fit them on a stock bumper but they will awkwardly angled off

 

Check with @RedlineTuning they might have a Group Buy coming up at some point, that’s when I got mine.

 

These right?

Been holding up well so far?

 

I went with the Spiker kit too, I was just curious of the cost of the Redlines. When I heard about the Spiker kit and saw how easy it was to install I didn’t even shop around. Also Leon was super cool and easy to work with.

 

6ft bed? yes

 

I thought Spiker wasn't ready for 01-04 yet?

 

But you said no fan!

 

Did they work out of the box or did you have to add resistance to get the LEDs to work (or were you replacing other LEDs)?

 

Got it, just did the flasher relay and wasn't sure if it would be needed for this. Thanks!

 

yup.

 

The Hood strut kit is available on his site for 01-04.

What’s not available for 01-04 is his ScanGauge/UltraGauge Mount.

just saw this. I’m looking for something similar. Anyone seen a write-up on this?

 

years ago i had 2 hella 500s converted to hid on stock bumper. the 95-97 bumper barely had room for those

 

ill have to figure something out. I’m heading down to Toyteclifts shop and see what we can come up with. The current lights are ok. But I want some better lighting.
