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

Looks great Tim

 

That isn't mine haha. I would have bought one of those if the guy made them still...but he stopped like 5 years ago.

 

Oh ok man

 

That is mighty sexy for that year! Now how do you make that bumper flow with the front end of a 97? Haha

 

I would do center hoop only on a 95-97

 

Yea, I'd probably have a single hoop following the lines of the grill.

 

Would changed the oil on my truck, but couldn't find any valvoline full syn maxlife oil. Walmart, nope, autozone nope, pep boys nope and finally napa nope(sales person adding we don't carry valvoline products). Gave up so I'm just going to finish this six pack and take a nap.

 

Did you know there are other brands of full synthetic oil?

 

That salesperson in full of crap, their NAPA branded lubes are Valvoline (says so right on the back).

 

Yup, I'm just very OCD on this type of thing. Once I get something a thought in my head I just have to or do it. I'm probably going to lose sleep over it.

 

Started work on my custom switch panel today, now I got to decide what kinda switches I want to put in it

 

relax.... relax.... few days more on oil would not change for my sleep .... I did Valvoline full synthetic on transmissions 17.86 the gallon x 4 gallons and on full synthetic engine oil 5w-30 the superthec Walmart has it for same price 17.86 gallon and OEM engine oil filter 3.99 plus tax,,,, oh well if pass standards and is synthetic then fine with me.... by the way it runs smoother now

 

Just bought my girlfriend a 2003 gold xtracab Sr5 3rz manual with 250000! miles on it for $6000! Tell me I'm crazy

 

Your crazy

 

an old man told me he waited to get a 2003 better that his tundra 07, you got the best from 01 to 04 range....

 

Does anyone know if the transfer cases for a 1st gen are interchangeable?
Looking at a 5spd manual with Tcase out of a 00 Tacoma, don't know if it's a J shift or push button 4x4, and I would like to keep the push button 4x4 that I have in my truck.

 

The j-shift is just as good and less prone to actuator failure (do to the lack of one). I wouldn't let the transfer case style hinder your search.

 

You're asking if a Jshift will swap in cleanly in place of your current push button tcase correct?

 

Are all the connections the same though?
I'm not biased towards either one, I just want less wiring and comparability.

I'm gathering parts now, I really want to get this setup though, trans and Tcase for $200
