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

Mileage: 98,000 (just rolled over)
Trim: TRD off-road

The grill guard on the front was actually custom made by the first owner, who was a rancher in Wyoming.

 

Those S1's look awesome, I hadn't seem them before. Reasonably priced (well, if any lights can be considered reasonably priced) as well it seems as long as you don't get the LASERs, hahahaha.

I wonder how they compare to the squadron racer / pro. Fewer lumens on the S1 obviously, but for half the price I wonder if distance and effectiveness is similar.

 

Finally connected my camera and uploaded pictures from the Rubicon.

 

true, and normally i pay attention to weight when adding new stuff. in this case though, the S1 is 0.4 Lbs and the S2 is 8 ounces (or .5 lbs). if .2 lbs gives me trouble then i think i've got bigger issues

 

Monte: Searches his 12 TBs of photos...

 

After a 6 week wait my new splash guards finally arrived from geartechcustoms.com. A few mounting holes have apparently been enlarged over the years as the clips that I got with the guards don't snug up on about 6 holes but I'll just go to a hardware store and buy one size bigger.

 

Yeah I want to get a pair for the DD single cab. I want to try and fab some brackets off the mirrors though and need to get Igor out of the garage first. They look great though.

Going to also add some DD Fogs to the single cab but waiting for the 2 LED version to come out as it'll fit in my stock lower valence perfect. The amber will help in some of the white out shit I drive in during the winter.


Not sure how they would compare to the squadrons. Bit of older tech vs new tech going on there. But I think with the squadrons you'd get a benefit of multiple optics there since it would be 2x2 if you wanted. But not sure really. Size wise the S1 wins for me though.

Its not quite that much......sort of..ha

 

Um... what?

I've been off TW for quite a bit. Seems like I missed something.

 

Where ya been? I've had it for like 3 years? haha

I bought a 95 SX Single cab V6 4wd manual to daily drive from boulder actually..haha

Love it. Its real high miles but so fun to drive. Just wish it had AC is all and maybe cruise control.

Also true..

 

So what you're saying is that you were in Boulder 3 years ago and didn't let me know?

Got it.

 

Yeah pretty much hahahaha




ma bad

 

Nearly ready to apply the Raptor Liner to the cab. Taping seems to take forever, but the devil is in the detail.

 

Matched my skid plate with my omes and finally took my warped a$$ drums to get measured so I can get a hopefully good replacement

 

That’s awesome. It’ll last you forever brother. Don’t get rid of her

 

Not worried about it lol I took it off to do the drive belts and thought about repainting it black but I figured I'd mess around and see what it looked like. Not hard to change color if I wind up not liking it

 

I still have to put the other skid plate on and I know it's not gonna look good with the yellow I might wind up changing the color again

 

Today I replaced the bulb that’s sitting broken in most of your glove boxes!

 

In some trucks, yup. Even one in the ash tray.

 

I woulda just popped the door handles off

 

It's fun taking things apart.

Nothing pretty about this:



Ready, go!


Plasma cutter, recipro saw, 4" wheel of death cutting wheel, and 1 hour of fun:



Oh, that was fun!



Going to use the lower portion of each side for my flatbed project.
