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

If it's a Napa CV yes! The c clips are way big, I broke a large pretty bar that popped OEMs easily.

 

Hey anyone know where I can get some replacement clips for the ones that hold the ignotion wires to the front engine plastic? Looked online tried to get a part number today but to no avail

 

I finally popped them both off, so I should have the front diff swap finally wrapped up tomorrow morning.

Ended up grinding a sharp edge on a small screwdriver and a regular one and just worked my way around. Thanks to @JLee for the tip that I found in an old thread!

 

anyone have the thread handy that shows where to/how to find the keyless alarm wire to reroute it so you don't have to hold your keyfob a foot away from the driver seat to lock it

 

What mounts do you guys use to mount pods on the side of the hood, I looked at cbi but am wondering if there's anything cheaper?

 

Do what I did lol make your own. Go to Menards and get 16 Guage steel. And make templates with cardboard

 

I guess that's an option, but DIY never really had worked for me...

 

Wasn't hard really. We just put the steel in a bench vise and hit with a hammer to bend while pulling it with Channel locks as well.

 

@jubei777 and @BYJOSHCOOK I'll try to fix my old stock air intake if either of you want it after I'm done I'll gladly work something out with you. I should let you know by next weekend

 

So you're keeping the truck?

 

Yeah pressing Band is helpful. It's out I "solve" most of the issues. But for radio, I just leave it at 103.3 and that's it. I never play other stations, so it's usually no issue.
Autoconnect is really buggy on this unit. Some phones don't work with autoconnect at all. And ones that do have trouble sometimes. Like you said, having both phone and bluetooth autoconnect really doesn't work. If I try to have both autoconnect, I get the same issuse with connecting phone first and then not pairing for audio. So I just have it set to audio, since I rarely make calls in the truck. If I plan on making calls, I can just manually connect. It would be nice to always have it ready to receive calls, however. Oh well. At least it works for what I really want...most of the time.

 

For a minute

 

I put a lock on the TREDs and the Plano to get it off you have to get inside and it has a lock on it. But if somebody tried to take off my roof rack they could have it all. But that's a lot of work and kinda looks suspicious outside of my apartment ha

 

Bump for more opinions/ options

 

CBI is the only company that I know of that makes them

 

You can try PM the guy who held this group buy.

Oh heck I could probably make one like that

 

Meh Id rather not drill into the truck if I can help it. CBI are bolt on

 

That's probably what I'm gonna do was just a looking for something cheaper, the mounts are 3x more than what I paid for the pods.

 

@PcBuilder14 did you ever fix this
