Classic Toyota look

OP said it got a new frame a few years back

 

My 2002 build tread is here if anyone wants to have a look https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/jons-canadian-taco-build-up-2002-tacoma-v6-4x4.473134/

 

Oh! I almost forgot, the real old-school Toyota pickups had a solid axle in the front. So that's an idea, too, if you're in the mood for a big project.

 

Ooh, I can register mine as an antique soon. Get me some of that Haggerty classic insurance haha

 

So this is my 2007 that will be my DD so the 02 can be saved from the $hitty winters here. The PO had a mesh grill on it and i am not a fan so i took a old Toyota emblem from 94 ish truck and just laid it up to see what it looks like .... I like it.

SO what does this have to do with the CLASSIC TOYOTA look on my 2002 ?

Well the grill in the parts 04 has issues and would be perfect for some mesh and a Emblem

I want to do the TOYOTA across the tailgate of the 1st gen AND my 2nd gen truck does anyone have the size lettering ? we have a guy who we use at work that i am going to ask.

 

Just go full on Marty McFly

 

HELL YEAH, I was thinking the same. vinyl decals all over.

 

YES kind of ...... looks like a slightly modified truck with time period parts. i want to do the same eg, stay away from the LED light bars and use more of a Hella 500 light as thats what would of been on the truck back then. Anyone catching the look i am trying to get ?

 

Looking at this picture ...... i am beginning to not like the black fender flairs on my truck .....

 

Found on TW ....

OMG !!!!!

 

Good compromise between the no fender flares classic look and I'm guessing the usefulness of fender flares blocking rain in the summer and road sludge in the winter. Simple is the word I'm thinking of with these older looking trucks. Then the details stand out like the cool decals and maybe a (not my preference) nerf roll bar or grill guard. To me the classic trucks always looked super clean - probably because they had to be over maintained in order not to rust away to nothing in Maine where I grew up lol.

 

@CBoy808 makes decals here too. Bought retro hood stripes from him. High quality, great price, great guy.

Besides the dual light bars, I dig it. That solid axle tho

32s in a skinny tire and steel wheel I’d say a BFG since that tread pattern has been around awhile
