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

Is that the Kenwood DPX308U double din deck?

 

Are those westin taillight guards? That's what I got on my truck.

 

Too those interested in my side mirror lights..I'm considering making some sets..

Yup. Thing is awesome. Wish it had bluetooth, but other than that for $150 I can't complain. I made a thread here when I installed it.

They're the Body Armor ones that require drilling. The Westin ones are nicer, but I snagged these for $50 on eBay. Since I've already put about 100 holes in my truck, the drilling wasn't an issue for me, haha. These here:

^So BlueShark I dont need to get all the wiring from the junkyard to do this mod? What did you do?

Edit: nevermind just saw your thread!

 

Those look identical too the westin ones. The westin ones did require some drilling.

 

wired interior floor board lights with switch

 

ARB in and working. Pics of switches tomorrow.

 

Took my bumpers off to prep for paint/stain. Pulled apart my Hella converted hids to hopefully fix the chicken feet. Finished my grill in prep for lights to go behind, satashi type.

Tomorrow hopefully I'll finish the lights and figure a way to mount them behind the grill. I had then mounted before but didn't really like it.

Also got my expo leafs so those will be going on next week. Then gonna relocate the socks and might as well box the frame while I'm at it. Though i doubt that will happen any time soon.

 

Beer o'clock my friend.

 

mmmmmm beer! got some deschutes brews, oh and i rotated my old ass tires so the fronts have more tread so ill be able to stop in the snow up here and put on my 1.25 spacers up front for shits even though my 285s arent here... that makes me sad i want my 33's!

 

I'm just......

trashed....

 

Installed ARB third member, plumbed air lines and wired everything.

This madness must end Jason !!!


But it DOES look good....

 

Cmon...you know it's never ending!

Exactly! Impossible to see that thing.
Any time I wanted to check the time I had to change lanes.

 

do you have a write up on putting the switches in the clock spot?

 

Take apart lower dash..cut hole..mount..wire

 

Not exactly. I was in the zone today and wasn't to be bothered by anyone or anything let alone taking pictures.

I actually used the clock housing so I didn't have to fabricate a new backing plate or anything. Just took the clock apart, pulled all the guts out and then cut out a rectangle out with a dremel big enough to fit both switches in the clock faceplate. Then cut another rectangle in the clock backing plate so the switches could pass through.

It wasn't hard, just a lot of measuring. I only had one shot to get it right so I measured a ton of times. To make things a little easier, I made a stencil out of a manila folder first and then traced that onto the faceplate.

 

Right on. I figured you would have to make a new backing plate, so that's neat. I wired up my switches into the blanks by the 12v outlets, but it's kind of a reach if I need to turn off my lights quickly.

 

That's why I'm putting not so important things like Rock lights that won't get used everyday down there! & important stuff on my aluminum panel in the vacant radio pocket space. Here's how I did my clock switch panel for in cab winch controls
