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

I replaced the left rear door latch. The spring that brought the latch back to the ready position had broken, so about every other time you opened the door it would fall down to the locked position and refuse to close until you reset it with a screwdriver. Bought the part online, downloaded the disassembly instructions, and had at it first thing this morning. Not too much trouble. The trim clips and the power window switch had gotten really brittle, so they snapped when I pried them out. But some new clips from NAPA and some JB Weld fixed that. Just finished up, only thing left is to wait for the JB Weld to set so I can put the switch back in. Sorry, didn't think to take any pictures.

 

That's my loaner. Please they would need to pry my truck out of my cold dead hands.

 

Yeah, it's the Moab 1.0 DIY kit

 

When they did mine in October it took 4 days.. dropped it off Monday at 4 pm and they called Friday at 2pm saying it was done..

Also.. they lent me a 2015 4dr tacoma

 

I wonder how many burnouts you can do in that ferd.

 

Will need pics!

 

Got to love a loaner!

 

They lent me that for the inspection but gave me this for now. They are waiting on the lca bolts that have been back ordered for four months now so it may be a while ha.

And as far as burn outs go, there is no additional insurance, just my own so probably not gonna risk it.

 

LCA bolts back ordered for 4 months?

 

The plastic piece that holds the hood stick (don't know what to call it, lol) broke, anyone know where I can find a cheap replacement?

 

The clip? Junk yard, its probably the same as on a 4runner or Camary. Shouldnt be more than $1.

 

Yup the clip, will look around sometime this week.

 

Saw that, do know if there are any problems with it?

 

Hmm might buy one. Well I found a kit that's brand new and pretty cheap but I have TRS ballast in the mail heading my way, that was my Christmas present, just saving money at this point.

 

That's what I was told. Told me they have the frame and the kits, just not those we'll see since I'm playing the waiting game now. At least it's saving miles on my truck now.

 

I'm not trying to give you a hard time. It's just that I recently ordered some from a dealership and they had them to me in 2 days. Any reason other then that to think they ar BS you?

 

This is on my list of things to do.

 

Mucked up commutator bar not making good connection when in that position maybe? Are all the copper bars on the tail of the motor clean? Pic to see what bars I'm talking about...


Don't clean the magnet wire, it is coated to avoid shorting.
