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

Welcome!

 

blinkers are in the corner lights, although they are pretty weak. i need to figure out a better solution.
I figured it was the halos or you did the corner lights. Did you do the corner plus blinker in the corners or just tied the blinker harness into the corner lights?
When I took my turn signals out and put the pods there I got the little led daytime running lights and put them in my valence as blinkers and they were super bright

 

Wow. Cool beans mastercraft. Haha. So great choice on the baja rs it looks like lol I didnt really care for any of their other models..What all would I need to make one of those fit in place of my driver's seat? It didnt look like they had any seat mounts for anything other than single cab first gens...

 

Today for the Taco

New brake pads and rotors and figured with 164k miles on the wheel bearings I went ahead and did them too while I was at it.

 

I'm doing brakes soon. Is it hard to do the wheel bearings? Also does anybody run manual hubs on the front?

 

Grey wire mod. This is a sweet mod. Added bonus: I think it also disables the ABS system for off road use. At least I think thats what it means when the ABS light comes on no?

 

I too heard that wheel bearings are hard

 

Looked under my truck today and found out the that passenger side diff seal is leaking again. Already changed it twice. Has the oem axle. I hate that dang leak.

 

U have any pics of ur setup?

 

Nothing! They sell direct bolt in brackets for our trucks

 

I have manual hubs, what do ya need to know?

 

Wow! That's awesome! So all I would have to do is unbolt my stock seat and bolt this puppy in its place?

 

Nothing to it, if you are changing pads and rotors you are right there ya may as well take care of them at the same time.

If you are unsure about how to, I am sure someone has a you-tube vid out there for it.

 

If he has a good press and has pressed bearings before maybe, but they are sort of really tough to do, not just a simple bolt in type thing.

 

...and wait 11 weeks but yes that is all.

 

Mine randomly leaks I gave up after 3 seals haha

 

Couple new to me upgrades. LC rims and 275/70/16 tires. and fender flares.

 

LC rims looks awesome! Paint them black and it would look sick!

 

Ha ha. Hell of a wait. Let me know how it rides and what not I'll probably be ordering one soon.. I wish my seat had lumbar support like the 4runner I just sold but I'll be sure to get lumbar added

 

A good old Indian trick is to get a long pry bar in there and reef on it..it'll put that small ball joint in a bind and keep it from spinning then use a 3/8 gun to spin it off..or just cut it. But either way the links won't be reusable, but I gather you don't much care to reuse them anyway
