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

Depends on what you want to do. Do you want to move your turn signals into the side markers? Or use the turnsignals as fogs or something like that?

 

Yes I'd like to move the signals into the side markers, mainly because I don't like the fact that the front blinkers cannot be seen from the side. And eventually I'd put fogs down below.

 

There's a thread floating around here somewhere on how to do it, it's easy and doesn't take long. I just cannot find the thread right now but I saw it not too long ago.

 

Got some new tires for mine!

Cooper ST Maxx 10 plies 265/75r16.

 

Found this in the dump... RIP. 02 v6 ext cab. Looks demolished. Rear frame is kinked and axle ripped off leafs. On the other hand... Looks like it has 4:10 gears that would go nicely in my truck. Gona see if i cant get them tomorrow.

 

In the process of installing my Viper 5706v

 

I bookmarked this a long time ago. But look at post 8

Do you know where and which wire I should cut. I can rewire the cut wires to a switch on a thread I found last week.

Edit: Here it is. Don't know if this will work for a 1st gen though.

Did some painting and prep.

 

For anyone considering the 3RZ to the 5VZ swap. You will have to move the motor mounts on the frame back. Don't ask me how I know

 

Installed a set of buckets from a 97 Hilux rt. Hand drive and they worked out great. Much more comfortable the the split bench. I did some minor alterations with a grinder and dean blow hammer to get them in. The lumbar and seat slider are on the passengers seat so happy wife, happy life.

 

Went exploring around Boulder today after driving up from the South Coast

 

Colorado?

Beautiful day for a hike. Hope you had a good time.

 

@Tanner757 I finally got to work on my 4Runner and the 2nd gen steelies do work with the 231mm tundra brakes. Sorry it took so long.

 

Any 3.4L guys can give me a measurement between the front of the oil pan and the front cross member.

 

Today I contemplated how to run an electric heater in my roof top tent on my truck...a $240 power inverter seems like the only option and I'm not about to drop that kind of cash to be a little warmer in the tent. And Mr heater just seems like it puts out too much harmful gas to be used in the tent, plus the open flame probably not the best idea.

 

I fixed that lame ass plastic piece that is on the side of the seat that broke. the piece that I catch my pants on almost everyday. the piece I feel like bending and ripping off the side of the seat. that piece. I fixed it.

 

Really? Wow. Suprised toyota did that.

 

No kidding? Huh... I'm surprised too... sure u got the right mounts to the block @SilverGhost
