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

Anybody got a brick & mortor autoparts led compatible flasher relay( Napa/ AutoZone/O'Reilly's etc)? That they're happy with?
Been dealing with on & off hyper flash when I press on the brake pedal and sometimes when I'm just using the blinker...
I'd like to see if the relay is the issue before I dig deeper.

 

Ha! Same with putting in a cage.

 

I used the novita ep35c with zero issue

 

You put an aftermarket sunroof into your truck? Gotta hear more details about this.

 

Where'd ya pick it up at?

 

Amazon prime. But ive seen novita stuff at orileys before but idk about the relay

 

No, not in my truck, though I have considered it. It was a little Dodge Neon that was my son's first car. I made a pattern of the opening from the junker, laid that out on the top with tape, drilled a hole, and used a sabre saw to cut it out. Just kept putting tape across the cut as I went, so the cut out didn't try to cave in as I got close to the final cutting. Cut out the headliner to the size of the opening, silicone caulk around the edge, and screw the two pieces together. I had watched a shop install one in my '82 Toyota truck, so I had an idea of what to do and not do.

 

Sounds like you pissed them off or rubbed them the wrong way. My discount guys always take care of me and have never seen them check how many threads go on the stud. Hell they have even dismounted and mounted tires for free so I can get the tires warrantied by 4 wheel parts.

 

Is he talking about the same store?

 

Probably not but just saying that out of all the discounts I've stopped at and even my local regular one they've taken real good care. But I also normally talk and bs with them for a little

 

I'll take a look at mine when its not roasting outside.

 

So December

 

8pm...sheesh.

 

Damn I can't believe how easy that was to take out thanks to that TTORA thread. 10 mins & I had it sitting on the table.

Also can't believe how much of a difference it made. So little play felt in the shaft but much more noticeable on the steering wheel.

My steering wheel play is completely gone now, this & the steering rack guide did the trick. So happy right now.

 

About to pull the trigger on this stuff, am I missing anything? My aal snapped on the passenger side so I’m gonna get:
Dakar cs046’s
OME greasable shackles
OME rear bushings
Toytec u bolt flip kit
And center pins
^all from wheelers for ~$700 after shipping
I’ve got a little extra weight in the bed but nothing crazy, just a cap and drawer system that’s empty most of the time.
I can run Dakar’s with normal OME rear shocks right? I’m probably not gonna be too elaborate with the relocate yet until I get longer shocks, box the frame, and get a manual bpv

 

you mean nitros right?

 

Yes

 

yeah, shouldn't be a problewm

 

Not sure if Wheelers has them, but I woud grab the greasble bolt/bushings for the front spring hangers by Daystar. They will help with the creaky/squeeky Dakars

Also I would look into the aal for the Dakars, mine sagged a good bit just with an rtt and 2 bed bars. Drawers and a shell might cause some sag

 

I was actually afraid they’d be too stiff, I’ll look into it though, thanks. What shocks are you running and are they in the stock location? Just curious for future reference
