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

Progress made, but not done.

I've got those on both trucks. They've been working for two years though.

 

Built a small bracket for my Switch Pros head unit.

Looks like a VIS Racing CF Hood. My buddy bought one after he couldn’t get his hands on one with a hood scoop.

 

Thanks for sharing!!

 

I tried around the holidays and all that . They don't do any discounts and the price seems to be fixed.

Can I get some more information on your ram mount? Your switch pannel looks good too. Did you 3d print it?

 

Correct When installing, make sure the white plastic clips line up with the little detents in the door frame or they won't click into place well. Once I figured that out, it wasn't bad and they look great.

 

Sorry for the delay... been traveling a ton.

It's a good radio but I'd spring the extra cash for a screen that works better with polarized sunglasses and with wireless carplay. But if those things don't matter then this works great. Fits right in looks almost factory. Installation was extremely easy. I haven't gotten my microphone to respond yet but probably a user problem more than anything.
CB:

$70 Uniden PRO520XL Pro Series 40-Channel CB Radio. Compact Design. ANL Switch and PA/CB Switch. 7 Watts of Audio Output and Instant Emergency Channel 9. - Black

Slides right into the ash tray, I did need to dremel out a very small part of the bezel at the rear to allow the power cable and antenna clearance. Not required but does allow you to stuff the radio in a bit further.

Some other things I bought:

It's mainly a phone mount. Piece of 1" tube that worked out a little better than it should have. Eventually I want to cut it down a little or rebuilt it.

The switch panel mount is just some ABS plastic sheet that I bent to work as I wanted.

 

Right on... Just thought I'd check first.

Bit the bullet and ordered this morning

 

Geeze after looking at all these mods mine hardly seems worth mentioning LOL. It was over the last two weeks, new tires, LCA's, ball joints and ES bushings. Finally got some pics uploaded today, currently at 82K + miles.

 

Finally finished up the new bumper

 

Bye bye ol girl……


Might build the runner or pick up a piece of junk for a toy

 

By tight fit do you mean it closes tight? Mine always work their way open and it's so annoying.

Coastal?

 

Aww what happened?

 

I don't think the previous owner ever changed out the fuel filter. 89k miles of crud backed out of it , just look at that! This was an easy swap

 

Tight as in it's a little difficult to open and close, but it STAYS closed. However, it's only been a couple days since the install.

 

For y'all with 3.4 headers, what exhaust gasket did you use on the downpipe to cat connection? I keep burning them out

 

She was totaled..

 

Solid motor mounts...

Looking at Trail Gear. Are there better options?

 

RuffStuff still seem like the better option compared to those. @Bonzen sells the best option though here
