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

looks clean.

 

Thank you. So many little scratches still but I don't feel like taking the time to get them out since it'll just get messed up again next time I'm on a trail.

 

Threw some 5100’s in the front and took the sway bar off.

 

Anyone got a 12v key on source under the hood they could point me to?

 

He kinda parked by me . Guess you could say things are getting serious.

 

Wear protection or before you know it there'll probably be a little 2nd gen running around.

 

So that’s how it’s work

 

I wish my Taco would quit breaking for a liitle while. Damn it's be trouble free for the last 120k I've owned. Just maintenance. Rebuilt front end, tbelt, radiator, and rear axle bearings. In the last 4 weeks the battery, starter, alternator and replaced fuel pump just because of mileage. Now this:

Also right front wheel bearing is starting to make noise. The Taco planned my weekend for me. Wheel bearings will be here tomorrow.
GEEEEEZZzz enough already.

 

I use the 'Power circuit'. It only has power when the key is in the ACC/IGN positions, I tap in right there, so I can take advantage of the 'Power' fuse.

 

The power sockets on the center console under the stereo

 

I need to do my fronts soon too. Do they press into the hub? I’ve never seen anyone post about the process of replacing them.

 

Since I had to throughly go over some of the rules/laws for work recently... after along talk with the IL State Police, the IL Secertary of State Office and my company's lawyers... If the vehicle is legal in the state the vehicle is registered in, then it is legal anywhere in the US. This is Federal Law. For commercial vehicles additional laws may apply. It can get a little confusing if the driver is licensed in a different state but that doesn't change weather the vehicle is legal.

 

Think you can find that portion in the legislature? I'll happily print and carry it with me. I have no issue educating a LEO, gonna get a ticket anyway right?

 

Lol I glanced over it too quickly. Super Clean

 

What's weird about California is that all pickup trucks must be registered as a Commercial Vehicle, it actually says 'COML' on my Registration and Title.

Cali has some weird laws regarding automobiles... you know it's illegal to have 'Auxiliary, Off-Road Lights' attached to your vehicle uncovered? A LEO can totally issue me a ticket for having exposed fog lights.

 

Yeah WA techincally makes you do that too unless they're driving beam. Although unless the cop has a hard on for ya they won't cite you for it. Every time I've been pulled over they tell me I am missing my front plate, but never actually put it in writing haha

 

Mounted the pump on inner fender well

 

You don’t have problems with the pump losing it’s prime?

 

35,000 miles with zero issues, nope

 

I don't have it handy but I'll check next time I'm at the main office.
