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

Ya I could tell by the shape. One friend said the same thing. Another said bullshit there' no cab cage

 

At a crossroad here,

Rebuild My Kings or buy a cheap little camper.

Yes I don’t NEED a camper but they sure do make things nicer.

Decisions decisions...


Here’s the only picture I took from camping this weekend, hopefully some or you got out

 

Rebuild the Kings yourself and save you some money and byythe camper too, there was a video linked 2 days ago I believe

 

I guess that’s an option too..

Bumpers pull tent camper

 

My friends camper, which is always open, they just have 2 kids and I’m scared to move at night.

I’d probdbly spend almost every weekend in it April to November. I like to be not in town.

 

Probably the least important mod in life, still, does anyone know if an instrument / gauge cluster from a 02 would be a plug and play swap into a 98? Both are V6 manual 4x4, but my 98 is a j shift and the 02 is a push button 4x4 shifter. At this point the only original things on the truck are the frame and cab / core support so it's not like keeping accurate track of the mileage is a real consideration... I might be able to get one for cheap and it would be nice to have the white gauges - plus I'm getting some led lights for it. Does anyone know if the same led's would fit in the 98 and 02 cluster? I accidentally ordered small ones for the warning lights rather than the 4 big ones... what are the number on those, 194?

Worth putting in small ones in the warning lights since I already have them? They probably won't change the color much since it's translucent plastic (leds are blue)?

 

You don't solder the resistor to the light fixture, you merely solder it to the two ends of the bulb. the ones that I used were very fine wire and the resistor itself was about the size of a grain of rice. you put it on the back side, away from the LED.

Here is image of mine:

 

Loaded the bike up today and drove the truck to go riding. I found two whitetail shed horns and seen a young moose also. Not a bad day in the woods.

 

Nice bike man, and plated! Where is WA was this, super rare to see moose in Spokane County

 

Awesome, exactly what I was looking for. Thanks @Seagull233.

 

I was up above liberty lake on the backside of the ORV Park there’s a old road that takes you up into the mountains. I’ve seen moose three different times now since I moved to the area. I’m in the woods a lot though, it’s my happy place.

And thanks! I love that little thing, it is a climbing machine.

 

Had my sliders sitting in my buddy's basement since before christmas (fuckin love black friday sales on TW) and got em welded on finally.

 

Hmm I think the connectors are the same..so this should be possible.

However. Your speedo probably isn't. I can't remember when they went to an electronic speed sensor from mechanical. Or if it was a tcase thing. You'll want to check that to make sure.

 

Question, what grease do you guys reccomend for the drive shaft. Pretty sure im not supposed to use the same grease that I use on the tc uca bushings...my budy said I could but pretty sure I read thats a negatory...

 

Red n tacky

 

I use it for everything, my uca's, Drive shaft, my wife

 

Gracias...been reading a ton of threads n some are of the opinion no, others yes. But the red n tacky has been mentioned in quite a few...
