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

Oh....and it was a fucken fuse. Winch is good to go

 

Why did it blow the fuse, do you have any poor connections that might cause it to have excess resistance?

 

Deckplate mod, blinker mod, rack with shovel axe and hi lift, 3" lift , 32" all terrains, led bars, and removed mud flaps.

 

Any problem with putting a radio here?

Would it pick up static or something off the normal radio?

 

It shouldn't be too bad as long as you get the antenna up and away.

 

I was gonna run it out the back window and on the top.

 

Through the roof, magnet mounts are the devils work.

 

Yeah thatll work but you shouldn't go overboard with the antenna. It'll look weird

 

I'd have to take down the head liner wouldn't I? And to do that is have to take the back window out. Or am I mistaken... again.

 

Only if you have the vinyl headliner, the felt one comes out a different way.

 

I was just test fitting tonight.

This radio I have isn't working to its full potential so I ll probably buy a new one when I do it.

 

I guess I'll be digging through TW search before I do it.

 

Honestly don't put it on the roof. Put it by the bed or on the left or right side of the bed in the corners closest to the cab. It'll look nice and work well a lot of guys seem to do that.

 

I was either gonna do that or run it to a ditch mount on the side of something.

 

Checked my ball joints and all the boots look wet but not torn. Jacked it up and there doesn't seem to be any play.

Do the LBJs give any warning before blowing apart or am I on borrowed time with 125k? I don't feel like dropping a grand on replacing everything too soon.

 

Wait.... a grand? It's about $230 to take care of both LBJs after shipping.

 

I have two led lights and was wondering what to tap into so I could have them turn on at night? Want to put one under the cup holders and one in the drivers side footwell.

 

that is a VHF radio not a CB. You will want to mount that too the roof for certain and drill a real mount hole if you want good performance. Also hope you got your license to use it.

 

Radios dead, was just trying testing out a couple spots.

Thanks Monte

 

@Bennett707 any overheating issues? I know my mv50 gets too hot to touch when airing up tires. Or are we just talking locker compressors here?
