Your unique mod on the 1st Gens

My father has an autobody shop. I had him mix some up for me. A shop should be able to make some for you with the texture you want. I just went with a finer grit than what would normally be used. Its good to go in the woods and not worry about scratches.

 

We gon need a sound clip on those glass packs

 

Yeah but they fit a Fiji water bottle perfectly.

 

My first attempt at welding aluminum. Removed the rear seat and made a bracket using the original bolt holes. Now holds a Yeti cooler (Birthday gift from my awesome wife)

 

Some more junk I made, not first Gen specific

 

This is genius

 

Universal power antenna since my old radio antenna broke off in the car wash

 

earlier years came with these. I like having the option to put it down out of harm when off road but it freezes up in the winter.

 

Luckily I don't have that problem in Southern California haha!

It's pretty cool to have, I always hated my antenna waving around when I was off-road

 

where did you get this and was it hard to install?

 

Fuck. I legit have one of these sitting in the garage waiting to go on. Thought I would be first

 

I bought it off of Amazon, just a one-size-fits-most sort of deal. Once I figured out how to wire it, all I had to do was carefully widen the hole where the antenna sticks out of the fender. Otherwise it was pretty straightforward.

 

How's the reception? Also do you have it wired to go on with the radio?

 

Yeah, you have to find the right pin on the back of the radio, but it hooks right up to the stock unit. It comes up when the radio turns on, and reception is pretty good (about what I expected)

 

I have an old army ammo can in my bed that holds my chains, snatch block, and one of my straps. The two pieces of wood bring it to bed level.

 

I put 4runner auto up/down windows in my Tacoma.


Then used the 2 rear window switches to power the vent windows:

Okay, now that ^^^^ is cool.
