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

Does anyone know someplace i could get some thick sheets of plastic to replace the vapor barrier for my doors? The ones i took off were in pretty poor state.

 

I forgot about his. That is a sick rig...

 

Truck looks great David

 

The thick painters plastic from home depot would work. Get some liquid nails and glue it on.

 

Home Depot carries 6 and 10mil

or maybe hit up a construction site for some scraps.

 

Thats what i was thinking, though id like to find something even thicker than that. Anyone know where i could get vinyl sheets in that size?

My plan is to cut the sheet to size, then overlay it with more sound deadening material. Making one big ass speaker box out of the door.

Also i have some of the caulking they use at the factory. Its a 3M product, great stuff, much better then liquid nails.

$30 3M Strip Calk, 08578, Black Color, Soft Butyl Rubber, Paintable Immediately, 1 ft Strips, 60/Carton

Also i have to add that the taking the interior apart was amazingly straightforward. Again if this was a BMW or Mercedes from the same time period, most of the million clips and tabs would be broken, panels would be cracked, covers would be peeled off. Not to leave out the internal Torx and Hexagonal screws to deal with.

This is such a lovely little truck to work on.

 

Buy some raammat and ensolite from Raam Audio.

$120 gets you enough to do both door panels and rear wall. Will deaden the noise in your cab tremendously.

 

The guy in a brown truck dropped this off today.
Also looking into the 3M tint for windshield (Only cuts 10% light transmission and will massively reduce the heat in the vehicle).

 

Help please!
I'm doing the turn signal mod and want to run my corner lights and bumper lights. As running lights and my corner lights as turn signals. Can I just splice all the wires together and do it that way? Or would that blow a fuse?

 

Finished making my bedrack today. My tent is going on it tomorrow after work.

Sorry for the bad pics, not enough light

 

I purchased the same size bulb that was in the original housing but amber vs clear. Non LED. Shouldn't hyper blink should it?
194 is what I bought

 

Dang. Wish I would have asked this earlier

 

I need a 921 corner light don't I?

 

Okay thank you for the heads up! I'll return the 194 bulbs and buy some 921 bulbs.

 

I need this in Frank bad. Road noise on the hwy is so loud. Big tires, almost no insulation, and loud exhaust with the motor at 3000+RPMS isn't for for more then 2 hours on the hwy.

Thanks for reminding me.

 

I like that photo

 

Dang man!!! Now you make me want amber bulbs down there

 

Well I guess I will return ALL lights and get amber haha. Would you recommend LED bulbs in the lower bumper vs standard?

 

a little..but really, i just like that photo. The lighting is awesome. fun trail too. Haven't been on it since that time. Need to go again with the bigger tires and new suspension. Be a hoot now.
