Your unique mod on the 1st Gens

crossposted, but thought i'd share here too...

world's tiniest roof rack basket / toupée <3

 

Compare to Truck Vault. I think I scored.
Heavier, but this is a SERIOUS truck box system. Needs a little TLC and drawer liners.
AAL's were going to be ordered a while back, but they were OOS. I have them on the way.

Edit
I got mine bolted in, lined the drawers, and loaded up a few things. You will definitely need Add-A-Leafs. I'm hoping mine arrive soon.
The Rat Pack dry weight.= 338 Lbs
Spare tire/wheel = 77 Lbs.
High-Lift Jack HL485 = 29 Lbs
Content weight - Other = unknown.
Due to the weight, I'm undecided if the box will remain. It's better suited in a full size truck.

 

LS2 swaped, one ton dual locked, tripple case having, Jerk on 46 in tires..

 

Looks great !
Where did you get that shifter leather wrap?

 

I sent it to Dallas Custom Steering Wheels
Just sent them my consol

 

I've done a bunch of unique mods to my first gen over the years.

I built my projector headlights



Molded a spoiler to my tailgate



Installed RSX seats


Have had a couple sets of custom powdercoated wheels




Made a custom grill with a scoop straight into the intake


S-Runner rear sway bar


Installed a one off Wilwood brake kit


Upgraded to Brembo calipers over Gyrodisc 2-piece brake rotors


Oh, and the most important mod, the DRIVER MOD!!!



There's a lot more, but it would never fit here lol. You can see the rest of it here

Those RSX seats are a great fit!

 

Yes, the fit is almost stock. That and they are way more comfortable than the factory torture devices lol.

 

i wish my rsx seats had the little spinny knob.

 

2jz ge + turboed and intercooled

 

Any weird mods to make the RSX seats go in or any other parts necessary?

 

It's mostly straightforward with only one special detail. You cut the feet off your stock Tacoma seats and bolt them in place on the truck floor. Then, you cut the feet off the RSX seat and place the seat on top of the Tacoma feet. You can now tack weld all but the driver's side, left rear one onto the RSX rails. That one will require some square tube to space it out or else the seat will not be level. If you want to see more detail and pictures, I have the whole thing here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/matostacos-build-thread.712057/page-2

When I started the project, I didn't own a welder, so I made metal plates to adapt the Tacoma feet to the RSX rails. This much may not be needed if you just weld to begin with. I also ended up making a new foot (for the left rear position) that just had the height I needed to keep the seat level.

 

she pushes 424 hp. It drives well. I have a 3 hour drive home and we are almost home now. It’s waste gates at 12 psi. Sounds so good.

 

What shop did ya go to?

 

i think this is unique enough

 

187 Unlimited. In Salt Lake City. That guy there is really good.

 

Thanks been looking for someone!
