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

a pink Jeep decal on your tail gate?

 

Tramp stamp!

 

It's Barbie

 

Ask konsta

 

On my bumper. That length is fine, actually a bit long from the relay to the lights. It's the relay to the switch that's short.

 

Installed my Smittybilt Defender Roof Rack yesterday

 

yeah don't know why they don't lengthen that... we have a shallow dash in the 1st gens, and it's too short to put on a switch anywhere but the left of the steering wheel and that's only if you run it down the drivers side, good luck running it down the passenger side (where I want to mount my fuse box)

 

I just have a locking cap with the non-locking door

 

you have an 01... it was 98-00

 

My locking gas cap is not stock...

 

And I found it weird they're not compatable with daystar switches. It may have reached better if I mounted the relay on the inside of the truck but there was no way it was going to fit through the firewall. So it's mounted just outside the hole.

 

Finally got my Ballistic fab t-case parking brake dialed in.

I beefed up the 3/16 "C" that holds the caliper and made a new arm to work with the stock linkage and upsized the 1/4" rod ends to 5/16 with SS all thread. So far so good, minimal noise and holds well.

 

Saturday I did a oil change and was hoping for a air filter change but the fram tough guard filter I got was dripping oil. So took it back and looking at some others. Would like a washable one. I don't like K&N ones though,has to much space for dirt to go through.

How are AFE filters?

 

alot of guys around here like the afe drop in filter with the stock air box, gonna be my next mod

 

Thats cool. I didn't know this type of e-brake kit was available.

 

It's not, Ballistic made them 2006ish and had some issues with the design. I picked up the kit used and made some changes to fit my truck.

 

no I know... the locking door was 98-00... sorry should have been more specific. the guy above swapped in an 98-00 door to his 02

 

you could try feeding from the inside to the engine bay and keep the relay inside, rather than the other way around... then you only have to fit the two plugs for the lights and the ring terminals for the pos and neg.

 

Ive seen a similar kit somewhere else too. i think it was trail gear, almost positive I've seen a tacoma T-case brake kit somewhere

 

I didnt know anyone made these for 1st gens. only ever seen them for pickups. i didnt see it on their site, where did you get it?

Edit: i sholdve read ahead, too bad they dont make it anymore. it would be nice to have
