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

What are you running, 3 inch wheel spacer each side? Your drum stick out so far with those procomp...

 

That’s a fun day

 

What site are you using?

 

What part number you got?

 

Before dropping the coin on new ones, I'd at least inspect them, though cutting them will make that difficult unless you can weld. I was able to inspect the 1st cat with an endoscope through the O2 bung.

 

I was reading an article recently about the uptick in catalytic converter theft going on everywhere, apparently China recently implemented stricter emissions laws on their vehicles to combat the huge smog problem they have in their bigger cities, as a result palladium prices started to soar.

A Prius in our area got his jacked last month and driving down the block that thing sounded like a damn tractor. A Prius was the last thing I expected when I looked outside to see what the noise was lol. Apparently they are big targets for theft because the hybrid tech means their cats are generally cleaner and worth more.

 

It’s almost an epidemic out here. At my shop we are getting 10-20 a month and many more are going elsewhere.

we had four get towed from one apartment complex in one day

 

Hidden light bar. Also installed 5100’s, changed the oil and coated the under carriage in preparation for the salt here in VA. It’s nice to have a brother with a lift, that’s his cruiser project...

 

I ran 1.5" spacer up front and 3" on the rear
Front converted back to ifs hubs

 

40" off the ground gotta keep the cat secure

built not bought

 

Nice work. Where you located in OR?

 

Tried to install some LEDs and made an uh oh.

 

I literally just had to fix that spot as I broke mine today. All you need to do is solder two wires in the pins in my photo and it will work.

 

Where did you find the bulbs and do you have a part number?

 

Which product did you use? Looks great

 

Take it from somebody who PC'd his skids and sliders ... DONT! It will chip. Rattle can and save your coin

 

Well, you at least had the plastic all the way to the socket. I’d have to fab something all the way out. I’m going to return it to the pick and pull and look for another one.

 

i bought neo wedge T4 bulbs off of Amazon. The ones I found didn’t have the right size gap in the plastic though so I needed to file them down a little to fit properly.

 

Looking to upgrade my tail lights here shortly. Which tails are you running?
