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

Anybody know if someone makes a 90° 5 pin adapter that would plug into the winch solenoid? Mine is mounted in the bumper and I use wireless but the wired cable won't fit but is very close. I want to make sure if the wireless goes out I can wire in. Thanks!

 

Sway bar is off yea?

OEM steering rack bushings?

 

Extend the wires on the plug. Then put it where ever you want. Cheap and easy.

Granted you'll have to drop your bumper again it looks like.

 

Sway bar is long gone. Energy suspension bushings installed when I did the rack.

Could it be body mounts or something? The truck has 230k on it.

 

Could be. there are a ton of parts that move when you go over a bump.

 

Was it after it rained? My truck clunks when I go up my driveway bump after I've driven in the rain for awhile. Otherwise never happens.

 

Ok, I'm not gonna worry about it then. Ill double check that everything is torqued again and forget about it lol

Actually yes, thats odd!

 

Wait, solved it. Just had to take off the piece that goes around the wire and it leaves enough room to fit it in.

 

Where did you hear it come from about? I always thought it was the body mounts.

 

Still water proof?

 

Front passenger side I believe.

There has to be water here for that to matter Jk

 

The only time I'll plug it in would be when I need to winch, so other than that it will all be sealed up so yes.

Just took the remote cable and unscrewed it and slid it back so it could bend a bit easier.

 

ohhh the connector on the cable. Thought it was on the solenoid.

 

Yeah I feel it about there, kinda right under the transmission. Not really doing anything about it because it only happens when it rains and that's rare lol.

 

It could be there. I just assume suspension because that is where the majority of the movement and possible clunking noises would probably come from.

 

Just ordered a Trail Gear low profile front bumper, so much for not spending anything until Black Friday

 

I ordered a new subwoofer, this one supports more RMS watts so perhaps I won't overload it as easily. Took me 3 years of hard work to blow this last one.

 

You guys happen to know how many miles a full tank can go. My gauge isn't working to well.

 

anywhere between a high of just over 500 all highway and a low of 230 towing/snowing/off road...I'm pry no help though.
I average around 300miles and 14-15 gallons but I drive mostly 90% highway less than 70mph with a 100 mile round trip comute...

 

300 is good number. About where I fill up.
