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

Don't know, have not driven it yet

 

Fair enough
I have fox 2.0 and thinking about making a switch to icon and now I see people with king...
it would be appropriated if you wrote up a review

 

Man everyone's getting Kings and total chaos UCA's. I'm really missing out

Really love the color of your truck. Stands out from a lot of people even with new vehicles.

 

Color matched side markers with switchback tubes. Too bad it looks like shit and it's impossible to cleanly get the lenses off. Weirdly enough the practice oem one was easier to pry off, one aftermarket couldn't get the lense off and one broke but still used until I get my replacements and toss these in the trash

 

I went to 3 different shops, all 3 said the same thing. Maybe it is a recent production problem.

 

I will try to write one

 

What did you use for the light, I don't think I've seen any Led piping like that for sale, looks pretty clean other than the lense issues.

Bought these and cut the base and top off to be thin enough to fit. I wish I could cleanly get the lense off because it looks like crap up close haha but thanks!

 

ST Maxx's here. Love them.

 

Shops in Powell won't sell them either. My dad tried getting them.

 

They where new, while I was in one shop a guy came in complaining about the ones on his truck.

 

That look sick man! You should do a detailed write-up on them

 

This came in yesterday with the bag of candy

 

I'm gonna do this. What process did you use to open them up?

 

Thanks! My detailed write up is, take a tiny screw driver and pry the fuck out of the lense and pray to the retrofit gods that they will spare your lense. 2 out of the 3 times they didn't listen however so odds are slim.

Used a tiny tiny screwdriver and wedged the lense off. The oem one popped right off after breaking the seal. The aftermarket ones both broke. I'm gonna try to replicate my results with some oem ones to see if it only works with oem ones or if I was lucky with the one I had. It's a pain in the ass and as you can see where the seal once was, it looks all cracked and not clean because of the plastic seal stuff. Have you tried the oven with these?

 

Installed a new windshield reservoir wiper spray motor and a Breath Analyzer

 

Windshield wipers resivoir.... Havent heard that name in years

 

Well yesterday finally got around to re-wiring a bunch of stuff:

- put the headlight bulbs in

-installed the amber driving lights

-installed the new switch

That's a big pump for windshield wiper needs......lol. Must be keeping your sc cool.

 

Any good write ups on replacing a passenger exterior handle. I have to lift it all the way up and then some to barely get it to engage
