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

Thanks!! I read your thread about them, that’s why I got them!!

1. Do you still really like them?

2. I saw you were going to try to HID them, did you ever end of doing it??

 

Sheesh I get like 17 with 33s and an auto.

 

I still do like them very much. I got mine for 100 bucks but you pretty much stole those. Looks like they are the gt or whatever? Aren't yours hid?

I never did hid mine. Lightforce makes a kit if I want too but..meh. work great as is. If a bulb goes out I might.

Also didn't know I had a thread on lightforce ha

 

Mine were making noise for quite a while. How many miles do you have on yours? I am right at 61K.

 

I haven’t really checked them out, I had my wife pick them up since I wasn’t in town at the moment.

Oh yeah, it’s in Frank’s build! Haha
Spent a good amount of time reading through some of it the other day...

 

Just wait till you get that bumper, and those BAMF skids, hahahaha. And don't forget to take into account your speedo gear. All the more reason to DD lil red.

 

His new red truck reminds me of those Little Red Radio Flyer wagons, I'm gonna start calling it the Little Red Wagon now

 

My other half gets 19 to 20. I'm used to driving a diesel so I have a heavy foot.

 

Do you have a link to the shifter seat? I need to do this as well.

 

No that’s about right. I bought them on eBay, seller ended up being Summit Racing.

 

Literally same exact setup! Great minds think alike my friend

 

Did this over the weekend.

 

So i spent a little this weekend and got this from my best friend....

 

Guys, I need some help from the experts. Saturday I was in town, truck was running fine, I stopped by a car wash to give it a much needed bath and in doing so i sprayed under the front fender wells but not enough to soak the sides of the engine or anything like that. When i leave there I get about 2 miles from the car wash and the truck shuts off for maybe a split second and then continues on like nothing happened. I had to make one more stop, go in the store, comeback out, truck cranks fine, leaving the parking lot, it shuts off again, so I get pulled over out the way of traffic and all it will do is turn over but will not start. After about 5 minutes of trying it starts and I move about 50yrds and it dies again. It does not stumble, doesn't feel like its starving for fuel, it just shuts off. No CEL, has a new battery, just changed plugs and wires last month. I checked ever fuse and relay that I could find in the FSM that i thought might have an effect. The fuel filter and fuel pump were changed out in June of 16 so I'm not really leaning that way. When I changed plugs and wires I didn't change the coil packs.

 

Will def give these a try when I hit 100k for maintenance.

 

Here you go white is for transmission, blue is for transfer case. Make sure you read very closely which transmission they are compatible with: https://www.marlincrawler.com/transmission/shifter-parts/heavy-duty-seats

The shipping is a tough pill to swallow ($12 shipping for a $12 ring of plastic) so see if there's anything else you need before pulling the trigger.

 

Did the nature car wash lol

 

I like that bumper design

 

I've got to tackle a rear wheel bearing. Any tips for pulling the axle shaft? Seems pretty easy. It's non abs

 

Mock up for the cage?
