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

Aren't they basically straight pieces with the bolt pattern on them, not much to a rear bumper mount for our trucks.

 

yeah they are, but just wanted to see if anyone had a DXF/PDF drawing already done.

 

Oh, huh not that it helps you know but when I begin on a rear bumper I'll remember to measure and take notes and make one up in SW

Might beat you to it

 

I hope so, it seem like this guy mixed and match parts to put a couple tacoma's together.

 

Yeah I’m a neat freak so it gets cleaned pretty regularly, that and while it’s still being financed I haven’t had as much fun with it as some of the rigs on here have.

 

Lack of rust gets my heart going!!!!!!

 

Truck’s been in NC it’s whole life. It was the third vehicle of a retired couple who traded it in for a VW Beetle, or so the sales guy told me. I was inclined to believe him as it was a VW dealership and the back window had cat paw print stickers on it...

 

gonna jack up my 4.10 rear and spin it to confirm it does the same.

 

That truck was a 4.0l V6

 

I just went and read about that mod. All you have to do is cut the grey wire and ground it somewhere? Or did I miss understand.

 

Yes

 

Damn...

 

Well I got the valve covers ordered. Should be here early next week. Slowly but surely shes leaking oil.

 

Nah, it was the 4.7. It's mentioned several times in the article.

 

shit i forgot to look this morning..

 

All good, kinda forgot you said you would anyways lol. Google last night pretty much confirmed my theory. Japanese Truck Dismantling has some pretty good prices for used OEM parts. https://www.japanesetruckdismantling.net

 

Cool website, never seen that one.

 

Thought it might help someone on here out, their warranty is pretty good as well at 1 year for used parts.

 

Yes.

Why?

I think you ground the grey thats going to the connector, not the one leading towards the dash. Right now I have a temp wire pushed into the location of the grey wire and its grounded so I could test the e-locker.
