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

That was about the best pic of the bunch.

I don't know what else you'd want to see, but there's some more pics in my Build Thread.

 

Took a trip with the club! Ruby Falls, Alberta, Canada.

^time for a new rear bumper?

 

Yup! In shop getting a CBI right now. Was rear ended, so no fault of mine.

 

(Last night) Finally wired in the LED Fogs and replaced the clock with the switches for the LED Fogs and Hella 55w HIDs! It's bright!

 

Did a teeter totter

 

Your truck is so sick.

 

Took my truck in today, turns out I had a bad O-ring in my O2 sensor, causing my gas mileage to go bad. Also lost a clamp to my air intake.

Found the loud noise as well, bad rear axel bearing. $395 later, it will be good to go...Hopefully. Anything is better than 13 mpg on the highway.

 

Thanks!

 

FINALLY got new headlight assemblies and bulbs


New corners also


Went with the new Sylvania ZXE bulbs

 

Had one last trail ride with some friends before I leave New Mexico this week...

All of the pics are here...

Getting a little bit of air haha

 

Well.. I made my CEL flash..

 

What headlight housings did you go with and are they pretty quality, i bought cheap ebay ones and i got cheap ebay ones. The light is all spotty looking. Not evenly distributed.

 

I'm pretty sure that's just aftermarket for ya.. I also have cheap ebay headlights but no scatter here

 

I also got mine from eBay. the light is a tad spotty but not terrible.

 

I agree. It was bearable but retro ftw!

 

when i have money to burn, i'll probably attempt a retro-fit to the old set and if all goes well then try on the new set

 

Yeah I told myself I was going to do that too and when it came down to it... the new ones were going in the oven. Super simple. My only advice is when you crack the lenses off pull them slowly and when the sealant starts to stretch out like cheese, break them with a toothpick or something so that when they break they don't fall down onto the housing. I got a little bit on the inside and that shit would not come off so I smoothed it out and painted it

 

gotta do what you gotta do haha I actually used plasti-dip on the silver of the corners to match the grill

 

I had a missing cylinder today so I got new plugs because it had been a long time since I replaced them (Before I bought the truck). Almost bought wires at the dealership, but said, no that can't be it. :face palm: Number two cylinder wire cad come off on the plug, didn't even have any resistence when I pulled on the boot.

Waiting on the dealership to open and get a set tomorrow really isn't an option, I need to get to work.

What wires would you put on if you couldn't put on oem? And had to get them from O'rielly's or Autozone?
