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

Nah I’m jk, my friend needs to to blow something out on his camper.

 

Oh I like actually going to a brick and mortar store too. It’s just some things are way cheaper on Amazon.

I basically spend half of my life at Home Depot or Harbor Freight.

 

Just got retrofits, anybody have a write up on with install? Trying to splice them to parking lights.

 

This thread moves too fast and ya'll have already covered cost of living

 

yeah cost of living is the most encouraging thing about it...I still need to do deeper research into the companies up there that hire in-house creative full time. I switched to that a few years ago from full-time freelance and haven't looked back except for the occasional side gig; too much instability and BS in that life at least here in LA.

No weddings for me....I have tremendous respect for wedding photographers but F that, lol. I would probably start by looking in companies up there like Amazon, Nordstroms, Microsoft, etc. and see what they have going on. I know that Amazon's HQ out here in Santa Monica is constantly hiring full-time in the creative dept.

 

Splice what to the parking lights? Halos?

 

Yes they have halos and rear switchbacks

 

yeah that's also something I have to consider as well...plus the market for what I have the most experience in is not as big elsewhere as it is here. But on the other hand, the competition here despite the opportunity is insane. It's all relative I guess, I just have to figure out what's most important and make it work.

 

Do you have the driver for them? If you do it’s as simple as splicing the turn signal wire to the turn signal harness, and the parking light wire to the parking light harness.

 

Everything I have

 

The two black things up top are your drivers. Here’s roughly how mine are wired.

Don’t use those stupid plastic splices they’re terrible. Cut the insulation off the wire and solder directly to it.

 

Don't have a solder

 

I’m driving 2 and a half hours to pick up a tranny tonight

 

Seattle's not all that much cheaper than the Bay Area anymore, and traffic is getting worse every day. Plus, 9 months of not summer...though the three months of summer are pretty great.

 

used red loctite and a electric impact driver to tight the bolts holding it on lol. So if anyone wants to try and steal it there welcome to try. I'll try to upload some pics later tonight.

 

When are you doing the install? I can help you solder it all together

 

When did this forum turn from tacomas to living situation and now to Bruce jenner stuff?

 

It was always about Bruce Jenner stuff

 

I thought @JKO1998 truck was bruce jenner
