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

Have any of those trips planned?

 

Go find me a good donor truck to save my rusty truck.

I need wiper motor and some other odds and ends.. I’ll have all this pretty body work. But those things stick out like a sore thumb

 

i have so many places to go but no routes lol. i'm hoping by winter to use all my vacation time lol would love to go now but work is so busy and we are short handed as is. plus truck needs more fixing, hoping this new drive shaft is the end of maintenance for now. i need to get back to modding, its way more fun.

 

Stop modding. Go exploring! Mod later when you have a better sense of your needs.

its minor stuff really cb radio, and air compressor and RTT is all i really need left to go. i can get by with my cigarette lighter air compressor but it takes 15 minutes a tire lol on 265/75 r16

but i do agree with you all

 

Is the LT kit installed? That essential.

 

no lol i been so busy with maintenance that i haven't ordered the kit. i got the coil overs being tuned as we speak. truck hasnt moved cause of the driveshaft issue been driving a honda civic. v-tech is a garbage dump lol

 

Oh there’s tons of em here. Rent a trailer and come pick them up. There’s a few that pops up on CL every now and then.

 

if only it were that easy, its not a short trip from indiana to cali. lol

 

AZ has the same perks in that respect. Except you can afford to waste fuel on pointless driving here haha

 

other than the fact you might hear bacon frying when people go outside and got to keep your windows cracked open during the day. AZ is better than cali lol

 

My suspension arms cleaned up nice like that. I'm sure my frame will clean up nice too but thought nah, too hot, too lazy, & for what, it's just gonna get dirty again! I did have some minor surface rust from Pismo trips, touched up those areas already though.

 

The valley is pretty inhospitable but our vehicles do fine, northern AZ has it made, cooler weather and seasons. I don't think Flagstaff salts the roads either when it snows, just sand.

 

out on the dirt roads thats what indiana does least in my county. but on major highways calcium chloride i think thats the stuff they use. you drive on that stuff its like running through a cancer factory.

 

I find it funny that it took four major gauge makers to put together the OEM cluster. VDO must be the designer, Toyota for the values and logic, and I'm sure Yazaki Meter actually made it. Not sure what Sheldahl is contributing though...



Anyway my Fluke seems to be out of batteries so here's to HF haha ..


@BartMaster1234

It's worth mentioning this meter worked too so maybe you have the wrong value sheet?

 

Thought abot those for a long time, how you like them?

 

What you think @BartMaster1234

 

That’s bizarre. That data sheet came from the 2000 FSM. Could it have been that Toyota has different resistance values over different model years?

I’m stumped. I know the fuel sender is fine, the fuel float on both assemblies displayed the proper resistances according to the same PDF that diagram came for. The readings for the meter are all completely off.
