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

Hey how did you wire up your turn signal lights?

 

Just drilled and relocated to the corner lens. Kinda half assed it but it works.

 

Right on

 

Anybody have more info on this?

 

What weight are the struts in this kit rated for? I bought the wrong size for my camper shell and was thinking about doing a DIY version of this

 

Missed it by a couple months bs right. I was hopeing to get the recall .

 

Not really, even the youngest first gen is 13 years old at this point.

 

^^Ya I know the truck was produced a couple months to late^^

 

Installed Total Chaos UCAs. Stoked to get that project done!

Unfortunately, noticed that my CV boots are severely torn. So, I was going to pick up some new CV axles from NAPA but I'm not sure if I need the ADD ones or not. The truck is manual with J shift and green CV axles. I've searched but can't seem to find whether I have automatic disconnecting differential. Seems like this is a "maybe" for my model year. Does anybody have some insight on this? Any help is greatly appreciated!

 

Yes you have ADD. Unless you have manual locking hubs you have ADD

Manual Hub CVs are Blue shafts too. ADD are Green.

 

Thanks very much for the info!!

Should have a "fun" project for this weekend.

 

anybody know

the Offset, Backspacing, width of the 16" factory spare?

 

I believe it's the same as a stock wheel.

4.5'' BS

 

THANK YOU kindly

 

Nothing

 

So I've just hit 30! The first thing I decided to do was go check on the rig. Making some good progress! This is going to be the newest 1st Gen Taco on the road!
Custom black out kings are finally done and they are beautiful! Front end work is going into full gear! Some major bracing, gusseting, and armor being done/made.
New radiator and shroud are ready to go, was able to also able to swap out the horrid chrome grill for a black one. Shell is mounted and looks great! Think the bedsides will give me another camping shelf! haha May line-x the top for some grip.

Frame horn gussets/frame plates!

Cross-member and lower control arm armor/gussets! All to be tied into the skid plate. Just getting started.



Camper shell mounted on new bedsides!




New radiator/shroud!
