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

My man! Thanks bud!

 

New Headlight housing with fog lights and third brake light. All LED builds up front with LED reverse lights. Installed Memphis audio coaxial 5x7, replaced all truck speakers. Also dropped the bomb and got the new 2016 pioneer apple car play double din model 4200. Also put the leveling kit on that has been stuck in the closet for a month. Only troubleshooting I've had to do is wiring the adapter for the radio to the factory pop out by the cup holders for the radio inputs. Had to run my front running light to the blinkers for them to be my new fog lights. Happy man....

 

Anyone know of some good cyber Monday deals

 

Those lights look like a million bucks! Jealous......

what that guy said lol

 

Fucking ridiculous. Don't ever get in a wreck guys. Almost two years later after my insurance found me not at fault after going into arbitration and all kinds of hassle, as well as winning my traffic ticket for it, I just got a call from insurance telling me he's filing a lawsuit and has been trying to serve me papers. Gotta call and see what's up...

 

That sucks man, I hope it works out. Seems like the dude has nothing better to do, and the insurance companies love nothing better than to have it go on forever

 

So just the seat cover has a form of built in lumbar support? That sounds fantastic. I'm sure that's much easier than swapping seats. Plus, I get the keep more OEM parts.

Rarely does your insurance subscription ever benefit you. Those companies are scum, and I don't trust any of them by default. Same goes for the people who have hardons for their insurance company.

 

Went after some clutch pedal / shifting problems today with pretty much the whole shebang:

-Replaced trans fluid with Redline MT-90
-Replaced the center and two outer "bearings" on the clutch pedal assembly with the home made brass bearing sleeve idea from Tacomaki. (https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/clutch-pedal-squeak-new-bushing-design.76599/). This repair went pretty smoothly, and it was none too soon, as all the bearings had been missing for God knows how long. The spring had worn some serious grooves at all the mounting points rendering the replacement OEM plastic bearings pretty much useless.
-Replaced a slightly leaky clutch master cylinder, which ended up being really good too. When I pulled the old one out it had about a tablespoon of black sludge in the bottom. And this was after I did a full bleed about a month ago. Glad I pulled the trigger on that one.

The combination of these three jobs made a huge difference on my shifting performance, and clutch pedal action. Now, the clutch pedal returns fully after being depressed, smooth action throughout the pedal stroke, and I can select any gear on the first try - none of which was the case before.

Thanks to all of TW for the helpful ideas, detailed tutorials, and awesome pictures. Without these forums I would be spending a hell of a lot more money at the mechanic with unknown results. Here's to giving thanks this season. Keep at it folks.

 

Christmas tree run.

 

Yessir! Imagine those blood pressure cuffs they put around your bicep... its like that, but stitched into the lumbar area of the seat cover . There's a manual pump to fill/release. It's been titty so far..

 

Took the Truck to Toyota delalership for oil change adding 115 MOA oil additive; I ask them to lube the cnassis 8 zerk grease fitting of driveline and I mentioned the clunk at stop with the print out of solutions that mentioned rear Clean brake adjustment,and lube rear slip yoke should solve it. Well, they called me at the bay, the cleaning adjusmet of rear brake can not be perform because basically all is shot.
Quote me $2,666 for rear axle revised part,bearings seal leak, new all basically plus $436 for shoes/drums... what do u think?

 

Replaced the center bearing!!

 

That sounds fantastic.

 

I'm sure you've said it 100 times somewhere but what lights do you have up front? I'm actually pretty sure I've read it somewhere before...

 

I like the look of it and it would definitely be different than the light bar families driving around the town.

Thank you
