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

It hit 50 today and I was outside with no shoes; washing the Tacoma. Now I am browsing the classifieds for a pressure washer.

 

Attica

 

So I had a headlight burn out today, I’ve got the Morimoto elite HID kit that’s about 3 years old now. Anyone on here able to recommend a Projector Retrofit kit? I know a lot of people are fans of The Reteofit Source but my friend/roommate had a really bad experience with them and I don’t think I could buy from them after that. Some of the Amazon ones have amazing reviews. I was thinking of piecing a kit together with the Auxbeam H1 LED bulbs and maybe the Nilight 2.5” projector kit. Anyone have any experience with this stuff? Or know of any other good brands?

 

Lol thanks. and yea Im sure it'd happen to most of us, if we lived somewhere consistently comfortable like Cali.

 

Just say it was left on property and file for lien.google lien companies. I'd ask at work, but we're closing forever next week. So that won't help you. In richmond there's a dmv/insurance place on San Pablo ave. They might be able to help you.

 

I'll look into it, thank you!

 

This is the way to do it. Call them up and tell them the story.you should be able to get it going with a bill of sale.but, you going to pay any back fees and tickets and late fees.

 

Fire.

 

Does anyone know if this connector controls anything other than the cruise control? It seems like that it doesn't since the three wires besides the black one with the red tubing (I think it's a ground) all come from the cc switch... I just wanted to make sure since the black wire with the red tubing at the end (ground?) is riveted to the bracket on the red tubing side. I'd like to pop the whole thing out and sell it with my cc actuator and everything someone would need to install it in their truck - thanks in advance

 

One is for ground, as you can see the little spade connector. I've seen that connector on trucks without cruise control but only the ground wire is there. Could be for the horn too? I don't recall.

Don't know if it's important, but it could be. Maybe it's a ground for the airbag I'm really not sure.

 

Took a day trip to the desert today.
Started at PlasterCity and ended at Split Mountain in Anza Borrego. Truck ran good. No issues after the transmission swap.

 

One more thought : RockAuto sells just the TPS for $40.

 

Tell them the story of how I bought it and only got a bill of sale? I was reading their FAQ and it mentioned you can't use their service if there was a purchase involved - I would have to use the duplicate title thing.

 

Thanks Tyler - I was thinking it could be for the horn or something as well. So I could probably get a connector for it with the ground in it or just unpin the wires from the cc switch.

@BartMaster1234

Anyone happen to have that connector with only the ground? So there are for sure two different kinds of clocksprings - w/ and w/o cc connections?

 

I'd call them and pick they're brains. They know DMV bullshit in and out.phone calls free..

 

Thing is you'd need a new non-cruise control clockspring if you're removing the cruise control entirely - if you were doing a complete CC package I believe you would have to replace the clockspring and cut the wiring harness behind the clockspring.

Talk to @mechanicjon he knows more about the clockspring side of wiring more than I do.

 

I actually pm'd him and asked what kind of wiring they installed on trucks w/o cc. Hopefully everything in the dash is wired already in every truck - we'll see!

 

@BartMaster1234 , look at the DMV site, and check reregister a salvaged vehicle. You bought a parts truck right?

 

Yeah but it doesn't have a Salvage title

 

I always like seeing your rig, you guys got some decent snow down south. What fender flares are you running? Looks like you trimmed out the fenders as well.

I would sell the tent before the super charger.
