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

It's a shame because the paint on the rest of the truck is perfect, it's just that roof and hood that are problematic.

 

Friend of mine who's a detailer did it for me. I made a wiring harness in exchange for the buff. That was my last truck, but she did look good when it was all done, and then about 2 weeks later she had an unfortunate accident involving physics and gravel. But Toyota paints will shine up well. This was done with Meguires Miracle Glaze

 

Replaced steering rack bushings and outer ties. Shout out to @Timmah! for his awesome videos! Thanks sir, keep posting the vids!

 

Hey all, been a while since I've been here. Question for you brainiacs! Anyone know which bulbs fit in the hvac controls and the small bulbs in the instrument cluster? I ordered the 194 LEDs and they were perfect for the bigger bulbs, but what is the number to the smaller blade bulbs?

 

Smaller blades bulbs are 74

 

hell yea you the man! thank you sir. Putting the speed in speedy

 

New project, I’m thinking I’ll flip th axle and put taller tires on it for some height and eventually make it look prettier, causes it’s pretty fugly. Insides in good shape and is all I need -a heater. But I buddy heater or something will do just fine for that, no leaks either.

For now though, it’s headed to the mountain.



Also averaged 16.XX mpg so far, 230 miles, lots of mountains, and nearly 2 hours of idle while a wreck was cleaned up.

 

Amsoil lubricants in my Tacoma.

 

Make sure you get the buddy with the co2 sensor in it just to be safe. And mounting a secondaring c02 alarm is always a good idea in such small spaces. I woke up puking and lightheaded one night with mine on and it never sent the alarm off. Mighta been the beer I drank but I didn’t really drink that many.

 

You're welcome Brother!

 

What wheels are those??

 

Factory spare

 

Same here. Royal Purple in all my vehicles. 5w30 in the taco with OEM oil filters.

 

Speaking of oil - noticed this the other day:

Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5 quart 5W-30 Full Synthetic - $24.97
minus $2.50 coupon (just check the box, applied at checkout)
minus $10 mail in rebate (max 2, 5qt jugs)
===
$12.47 for 5 quarts

The $2.50 coupon only applies once per order, but placing two orders seems to work to max out the mail-in.

 

wow... Im surprise you're not using the bigger filter YZZD3 , somewhere said that bigger has/ does more filtration body. Dont know if someone already talked about this because this thread is like Fast and Furious , 2 more pages to read , not even retired will read this fast or spend this much on screen but you guys are sometimes more fun than FB , haven't try twitter yet , same thing , to much looking at screens

 

For me it's because of where Toyota decide to put the oil filter on the 2RZ/3RZ in the first place, hard to access and very little room. I'd rather have the smaller filter with ease of access than struggle to replace the larger filter.

 

I been a fram man but decided to go OEM and got the D1. I wasn't sure if the D3 would work

 

X2!
