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

Haha have fun

 

Replaced my reverse lights with some LED's. I'll take some pictures tonight!

 

I keep seeing people say how hard it is to do rack bushings....and I have to disagree...I found it very easy.

I replaced my rack twice (the second time because the replacement leaked) and in the process replaced all the rack bushings with poly...and it was time consuming, but pretty easy imo...

 

I'm doing it under a lift so it shouldn't be too bad.

 

Sure, if you've done it before and know what your doing. It wasnt hard for me to do it, i just didnt take the right steps which made it a pain in the ass

That will make your life easier. Thats how i did it.

 

Got these in the mail today:

All pro UCA's and an AP extended rear brake line.

 

1 brake line? Just want to flex one side?

 

Well that's convenient then.

 

like dis:

 

Made a quick video of my truck with the air intake and exhaust. I opened the sliding rear window so my phone could actually pick up the sound. Pulled to about 4k rpm.

Well Guys i hate to admit this but i got rid of my Tacoma today for a 2005 Chevy Duramax 2500HD Diesel. i had to have a better hauler but ill miss it.

 

Don't worry man, a GM duramax would be the only other truck I'd buy besides Toyota. I have no justification for one though.

 

Finally wired up my white LED ignition illumination ring that I retrofitted off a 3rd gen 4Runner part. Here is the halo in all it's glory (and yes, the LED actually fades in and out just like the incandescence bulbs when you open/close the door or start the truck):


KerlyQ's thread on which wires to tap via A piller dome wire here

Using x2 1watt 100 Ohm resistors (based on dome LED install issues (01-04) mentioned in many threads) detailed in my build in order to get this damn LED to work in the ring here

 

Got my 33x12.5 km2s mounted on my new wheels! They are definitely badass, bye bye duratracs I will not miss you



Still trying to decide if I want to leave them capless or put the caps on

 

Such a better choice than the Duracraps!! Looks good.

 

Your truck looked just like mine. Lol

 

Awesome setup you have there.

I adjusted the coils i installed yesterday to get the truck level...looks much better I think.

 

You mad bro???


Lol did you have a bad experience or something?
