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

Two hundra dolla dolla bill??

 

It may click but could be corroded internally on the contacts. I found this, might help with trouble shooting. The solenoid should show voltage on one leg only until activated then both legs should have the same voltage.

We just need some Zappa playing in the background while reading.

 

OK, I'll check Volts at the winch When I get a chance.

 

Just factory signals with clear lens and a nice bright led. NOTE: they are switched cause they are somewhat bright for oncoming drivers.

 

Warranty??

 

Sounds like I'll be going that route, lifetime mechanical, 3 year electrical.
Got the winch on 7/11/15 so it's definitely inside the warranty period.

 

Sounds like a good deal for remans...I was quoted $550 for remans from my nearest Toyota dealer.

 

Yeah, I called all the dealerships along my commute, got reman prices from around there. But the final price for these is $514.58, then if you give them your old ones, they refund you $150, hence: $364.58

It sure as sh*t beats brand new ones for $1,120 after tax

 

Axles cant be rebooted?

 

yes they can.

for about 25 bucks.

 

You got a good deal on some quality coilovers despite what some on here may think. At stock weight up front, I would start by cranking the preload out of those coils before you even install them.

 

Agreed. How mine are and still about 1'' lift over what i had.

yes, I know that. I did both mine. I was just asking how come he didn't consider rebooting his.

 

The passenger has been torn for months, driver is more recent. I've been wheeling in dirt, mud, sand, rain & snow since. Surely it's dirty up in there. Plus they're 13 years old.

It is what it is at this point, it's a super easy job to drop out the old ones and throw new ones in without buying tools I'll use once and getting grease everywhere. Looks like I could've saved a bunch of money that way though

 

That's probably all I'm gonna run for now. Will it hurt to take em to like 2.5 eventually or is that just a no?

 

This VVV

Mine (H20 10K) started clicking instead of engaging. Took the contractor apart and cleaned up the contacts. Good as new.

 

Truer words have never been spoken.

Most of my income is funneled into kid's expenses.

 

Good stuff man!!

Reboot them anyways...spares! Clean them really good

 

Definately reboot.

My last Tacoma went 275k with empty joints. They are quite durable.

I always figured I would replace them when the joint broke. They never broke. The frame did first. 309k total, I was pleased.

They clicked a bit when sharp turning.
