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

I'm wanting to put blue leds in my dash , what's the thread for it?

 

Yeah omg, I don't remember who did all the tracking down of part numbers that worked for which models of which gen of which butthole, etc. They wrote it all up here too. It was a grundle of info, I share that crazy nonstop fanaticism. It was awesome to see it all cleared up for once.

 

Lol that was me. The info is in my build, now along with the radiator cap info.

 

Lmao!

 

Yeah my bad. As soon as I hit send, I thought maybe that was him??? Jajaja! Yeah that was solid researching man.

 

Yeah I'm finding PDFs and old style part #s to various things. Shits a goldmine.

I know the answer to this will probably be no but I figured I would ask you guys for a faster reply than doing the research myself (also at work so don't have much time). Will a 2013 TRD DC suspension fit on a first gen (2002 DC)? I ask only because my suspension is in rough shape and the price the guy is asking is dirt cheap for the coils, shocks, and leaf spring pack.

 

no

 

That turned out nice! I may have to steal your color coding idea.

 

Figured as much, thanks for the fast reply.

 

what's the point of airing down less in the rear? honest question.

I usually go 10-15 all around depending on terrain

 

Those the TRD rims?

 

They are the fn fx pro....dark gloss gunmetal. Hopefully getting them put on tomorrow. Haven't seen too many 1st gens running them.

 

Thanks man! And thank you for the idea! Loved it the moment I saw you post it haha

Back when I had 265's I could only air down to 15-16 in the front or it would piss air on sharp rocks. With barely any weight in the bed like I have 15-16 in the rear barely let the tires bulge so I ran those at around 12. Now with the 35's I'll probably run 12 up front and 8 in the rear.

 

Ah..good to know....thanks brotha

 

Depends on how much time and electrically inclined you are... I honestly could have wired it up like the one in the dyi the ad but, I don't have that much time and this worked very well... so I went with this one from Tacoma pros at http://www.tacomapros.com/bussmann-rtmr/ I am super happy with it really cleaned up the engine bay with not much room to work... with the stupid charcoal box... I used the mounting plate but had to cut it in two to split the buss the breaker due to space... I have 3 set of rigid lights on relays with two left. Shell lights and hood lights on just fuses with two left illimitable switches took one. I really like the switch plate he uses but I don't have room for it on the dash plus there are 3 holes in my kickplate already... I did mount a grounding buss and used the Delphi connection for the leads but wish I would have used something slimmer and less bulky, after I decided that the simple blade connection wasn't good enough....Maybe the square ones the rigid lights use... Just my two cents... I would check this thread too... https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/lets-see-your-1st-gen-switch-setups.266742/page-9#post-14095300

 

After further research and almost buying the wrong cap, my truck, and most likely yours is an S type. (Confirmed 01-04) On the bright side I can only get the higher rated cap. This was due to some misinformation; on TRDparts4u's site the "S type 1.5" shows a picture of the 1.3. But I overlooked the shape of the cap so I checked under my hood which also says "S 0.9" - to further back this up the 1.5 says "replaces

$28 16401-0C010 Toyota Genuine Parts - Cap Sub-Assy, Radiat (16401-0C010)

16401-0C010" which is the OEM cap to a 2003.

 

different weight in the back usually its lighter so you can go less.

I don't i run 10psi on frank every time. 20 on igor. But the rear is usually loaded down a lot so doesn't make sense to do staggered for me usually.
