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

Know that road well, you ever go to Williams hill, the top of Lockwood/San Ardo grade, or BLM land off Lockwood/SAn Lucas road?

 

Did you take the chrome pieces off or just tape them out?

 

Looks good, especially with the black fenders.

 

Mounted the Thule AeroBars and tracks:


Now I won't have to slide the lumber throught the cab window any more. . .

 

Put on 265/75/R16 Treadwright Guard Dog M/Ts

 

Vacumned, put new batteries in the remote start and remote for stereo, and installed a pioneer cd player.

Edit, how do I set the clock lol

 

The model number should be on the faceplate. And then google is your best friend

Good thing I haven't had to change the time on my Kenwood since installation or else I'd be in the same boat as you

 

Ok yeah I was going to try to squeeze it through there. I have all the strobe cables going out of there for emergency lighting right now too. Thanks I really like it too, just shows every little scratch...

 

Nice, you won't go wrong with that setup

 

that is what i am doing right now to my truck.

 

I finally got around to installing my teltech external temperature readout and digital clock. Decided it was of more use to me than the ashtray that was there before, and as silly as it sounds the temp readout is one thing I really miss from my Grand Cherokee. Not much else though: p. They don't quite match the rest of the interior... but they work great!

And heresthe link... now that I've re-read the picture posting instructions

 

Hope not! Tried to do my research before deciding. I'll be happy with anything higher than I am now haha

Post pics when you're done!

 

I taped off the valance while I plastidipped the chrome pieces first, and then honestly I just sprayed the dye over the plasti dip. Not intentionally, but I figured if some of the spray hit the plasti dip it wouldn't be all that big of a deal. I did the entire thing with the bumper still on the truck, cause I couldn't figure out how to take the piece of shit off without breaking something

 

Nice looking truck!

 

Question:

I picked up a 2nd bed track system to put in my truck. Do you guys think I need to use some angle iron or something like that to help secure them to the bed or just bolt them straight on. Haven't looked at a 2nd gen that closely to see if there was any reinforcement there or not.

 

Bought some plastidip to play around with and I really want to do my wheels but I'm scared to pull the trigger! (nozzle in this situation haha) I have messed around with it some and sprayed my grille emblem and one of my center caps. What do yall think? Go ahead and do it? I'm wanting to switch over to the silver and black look but didn't want to spray my wheels permanently black yet but I'm still scared to use this stuff too. Guess I'm not used to reversible paint!

 

Do it!!! You'll love it, but if for some reason you don't you can just remove it.

 

Nice to see everyone tinkering today. I just had my Renegade 6 & Duratracs mounted. I just now got around to painting the rear brake drums black. Looks much better.

 

Looks good man

 

not today but I painted my stock rims the "anthracite" color and put on some of sockmonkeys TRD stickers
