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

i was under lighting.

 

off light bar topic but...

I thought these billit ucas were only made for 05+ ???

 

Icons. Think you can still get them. But idk.

 

that a v8 in there?

 

Yea not sure either, first time I had seen them on a first gen

 

Yes the Marlin 4.7. Not sure exactly. Bought the truck with it on, then 1k later it's toast.

 

what is taco box

 

crawlbox. Dual transfer cases for double lo range

 

Lol the only thing that is probably remotely close to that is that one guy's "economic" t100 build with the makeshift trailer.

Dude probably drives like a senile grandma.

 

my kinda taco box

 

It may be a stupid question, but what all do the wires go to? I cant get the dash lights to work with mine.

 

anyone wanna come fix the little light on my gear shift?

 

If you were close by maybe. It's not too bad. Just gotta unscrew 4 screw iirc to remove the shifter console then twist the light out and pull

 

awww. thanks. can i buy the bulb at a parts store or is it one i have to get from toyota?

 

Looking for some additional info regarding the 60,000 mile regular maintenance interval for my 2002 3.4L V6 4x4 5MT extended cab.

Any thoughts?

- For the coolant, I'm planning on going OEM.
- I'm planning on using the OEM oil filter, and synthetic 5W-30 oil. Also going to be installing a Fumoto valve and lock.
- Diff oil has been replaced recently after regearing. Using Lucas 85W-140, per ECGS recommendation.
- New tires were installed recently enough to start rotation at next oil change.
- Currently running a K&N CAI until it gets replaced with a stock air box and snorkel.
- How does one know if one is running a non-platinum spark plug? I'm planning on replacing with OEM if they need to be changed.
- Can I run an NLGI-2 grease such as

$12 Lucas Oil 14.5 Ounce 10301 Heavy Duty Grease, 14.5 oz,Green

Lucas X-Tra Heavy Duty grease for all of my chassis zerks?
- What are your recommendations for transmission and transfer case oil(s)?
- What are your recommendations for belts? OEM? I'm using this as somewhat of a baseline service since this is the first major service since I bought the truck and I have no idea if the PO took care of anything more than oil changes.
- When the owners manual references the 'propeller shaft bolt', are these the bolts connecting the driveshafts to the pinion flanges, or are they specifying the pinion but itself?

Thanks in advance, you guys!
