    As has been mentioned, bezel is upside down, bumpers are hideous, huge lift with liftsprings AND SOA, needs the exhaust rerouted to the muffler isn't used as sliders, and that chrome rear axle is neat. :) Otherwise, I've seen much worse and all the things listed are not too difficult to fix.

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Good thing I'm on the schedule for a head gasket job now. Misfired for a solid 20 seconds before idling like a normal vehicle this morning.

    Yep, missing one on the pass side too.

    You da man.

    What are the stoppers used for? What section would they be in

    Lol tacoma don't exist in junkyards here. I wonder if they interchange between older toyotas... every now and then a toyota will come through but it's still rare

    Hiya guys.

    I'm in the middle of my HO alternator install. The wiring connectors all snap together but I noticed that the converter they provided only has two wires inside. Both the alternator and the taco harness have three wires. I'm pretty sure it will run but I'd appreciate if someone could tell me what the three wires are for.

    TIA


    Edit: I found this post which is helpful. It sounds like the third wire is not needed. I wonder what it is for then.
