Suggested mods for every day comfort.

Well boys. Looks like this 95 tacoma is going to be my every day driver. I'm making the decision to sell my 2014 tundra. My question to anyone out there is what are some simple or complicated modifications that can be done to create more comfort in every day driving this beast.

----I just finished installing 5100s all the way around and now have 33s. So the hardest mod is complete.

 

I hate to be that guy, but 5100s aren't the best option for everyday comfort. Just my opinion.

Not much you can do to these trucks..check everything rubber and all you steering components, that about it.

 

Well being that they are already installed. I'm just looking for additional little things. Even small interior things that I havent quite brainstormed yet. Although the 5100s arent the softest, they did improve my ride quality quite a bit. But I do completely understand and agree with what you said.

 

Maintain it and drive the crap out of it

 

Interior mods... Additional 3D printed cup holder unit and DD touch screen stereo w/ handsfree. These small additions have made a world of difference in my 2003 DC. A nice set of WeatherTech floor mats (not sure if they make these for the '95) helped in keeping the truck clean... I have a pretty unmolested Taco compared to everything I see on here so my exterior mods have been minimal since it is my daily driver. I did the 5100s, OME 881 coils, AGM battery, HD rear leafs, spray in bed rhino liner and a THULE Xsporter bed rack. Just rolled over 364K.

 

Yea I was looking for an old taco for a hunting/work truck, but when I found this creme puff of a truck, I couldnt pass it up. Only had 170k and looked like it had been sitting in a garage for 25 years. So that's why I decided to part ways with my tundra(there will be more of them out there) but it's hard to find 1st gens that arent abused.

Where could I find the 3D printed cup holder insert?

 

You don't realize how annoying it is to only have 2 cupholders until you've got a truck full of 4-5 people who all have drinks! See below. Fitment is great and color match is 80% I would say. The gray is just slightly lighter than my gray interior, but that could also be because my truck is 17yrs old...

That is nice! Does it flop up and down when it has things in it or is it stable?

 

It's incredibly stable it hooks over the side and has two small counter sunk screws you have to insert into the L and R sides. I've had it installed for a little over a year and it's been a game changer for just having a place to put drink and random shit.

 

Charge indicator with two USB ports. Amazon.

The LEDs on the floor are going into a cup holder I'be been fooling around with making. Not settled yet on design. Everytime I go to the slavage yard I keep going in a different direction with the idea.



Current rev:

 

Now where would I beable to fit that USB charging port if I dont have an auto?

 

Hate to say it but sheepskin seat covers change these particular seats to a softer ride.

 

Replacing the Steering Rack Bushings with the Energy Suspension poly bushings will make the steering feel tighter.
This is one of the better mods I've done to mine where you can tell a big difference.

Where the clock is.

 

whats your center console area look like?

 

It has a small center console box. And directly forward of that is the open compartment.

 

if your truck is like my center console there maybe a couple of rectangular tabs/slots can be used to put in USB charger stuff

 

All season tires
Stereo with Bluetooth

 

I've got 33x10.5r15 KO2s for that exact reason. The stereo idea is a good one. Any suggestions on what kind??
