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

Yes indeed. Just bought it actually and the sunroof is a killer feature.

 

SATURDAY NIGHTS AMIRIGHT

Well somehow I have a Tacoma door in my dining room. And a working power door harness, which is good.

 

Are sunroofs really that rare?

 

Collecting parts for my truck I've come across two in boneyards - looks like there's someone going around killing unicorns I'm tempted to find a good cab and swap it once I have a place to do it lol.

 

rare yes. very rare that its a pre 01 with one.

 

So is it basically the same as this video at 8:27? If so this looks like a piece of cake. I thought I had to solder the lights into the pcb. Just curious what size LED's will replace the 74 style bulbs - google's not coming up with any clear info...

 

Nah just some late night wiring. Dope, the more the merrier. We'll be up on Dahlonega at Hawk Mtn

 

Finished up the power window and power lock harness for a '99 SR5 Extended Cab. No more crank windows and manual locks. Has keyless entry.

It's basically a plug and play system that plugs into your doors at the kick panels - all you need to do is add ground and +12vdc. Utilizes the factory door harnesses and kick panel connectors.

Check out my build thread for the sub-thread link if you want to make your own. Or you can ask me.

Here's a video of it in action: https://streamable.com/8cct7

And the work station, my dining room. Can't believe how ridiculous the door looks just chilling on the table.

 

I added a mount for a Hi-lift jack today. Kinda liked it mounted horizontal across, but ended up going with it layed forward next to spares.

 

Clay, polish, wax and all the plastics protected

 

Alright so I got new bed side decals, got the old ones off but there is a sticker residue left on there. Do I get that off before I put the new ones or will that aid in the adhesion of the new ones? I'm assuming get it as clean as possible, any tricks to get it off. Goo Be Gone didn't help

 

Eraser wheel, then polish the area. I did it to my 95 that had those lame decals that go across the whole truck

 

Maybe try taking a small amount of heat to it. Preferably you'd heat up the old decal before you remove it so it comes off without leaving residue.

 

It took me a whole hour to get all of them off. That residue is a pain in the butt to get off without the eraser wheel. @BYJOSHCOOK

 

Yup

 

I guess I own a unicorn then 96 SR5 with a sunroof

 

These people are sooo good at tagging you @Blackdawg in all the pictures they post.

 

Did they blur that shit?!

 

That's lame asf. Wonder if there's anything you could do. Probably not really worth it.

 

Wow.
