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

Thanks bro!

The roof rack alone was enough.

 

Unfortunately I don't have a manual but thanks bud, you're the man!

 

Does the blue in the switches look so light because it's a day time photo? I'm looking at the OTRATTW switches too and want a blue more like this:

 

Didn't I send you one?

 

Yup they are pretty bright at night....the sun was directly behind me as I took that pic, but the pic above is just a shitty photo/out of focus which makes it look like you can see your switches from space The OTRATTW switches are awesome

 

I want to get this setup but im an idiot when it comes to wiring. Was it difficult? Im thinking a winch in/out, light bar, fuck you lights, and locker. maybe rock lights too

 

The wiring is easy enough, and all the switches come with a diagram. The winch may be a bit more work because you have to sacrifice a controller, and it's mostly pointless as you will likely need to move around.

 

ok, scratch the winch then. Thanks man, I wasn't sure if they send a diagram. I'll just have my buddy who works at a stereo shop hook it all up

 

Bro I will put it this way if I can do it....anyone can! It's tedious but easy.......if you look in my last pic you can see my winch controls, in the clock location, and you can still use your controller to run winch as the switches you just splice into the wires in the control box

 

No way do the winch switches too.....such a nice convenience, and you will still be able to use the handheld controller
Edit: this is what I have

What gauge wire are you running for the winch controls? The load should be pretty low to throw the contactors I'm thinking.

 

Look above I added the link to the 12 volt guy switches, and it's pre-wired, but yeah the wiring is pretty small

 

Ok thanks. I have OTRATTW switches already but I'm just getting ready to wire them. Might use 12ga for the winch controls and 18ga for the others just to overkill.

 

Yeah that would work....all my wiring is overkill too

 

In the process of replacing cv's, lower ball joints, and wheel bearings.

Right now I'm stuck with the upper ball joint stud not coming out of the upper control arm. Same problem with the outer tie rod not coming out of the lower ball joint. Won't budge after hitting it for quite a while.

Any ideas?

 

get a bigger hammer


lol

 

Yeah, not working... Haha

 

Getting 285s tomorrow on stock wheels, kinda wish I had some time to accumulate enough money for wheels but I am on a spare right now so I figured I might as well replace em all now. How much am I gonna rub with 285/75 16s with stock (4.5?) backspacing? I'm hoping I just have to trim the pinch weld and some plastic... Sooner or later I'm gonna get scs f5's or fn 5 star's with 3.5" bs but that will probably like mid to later summer. Should I run wheel spacers until then or will rubbing be bareable?

 

Hit either the edge of the uca or put the BJ nut a bit back on and hit that.
