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

I actually helped my buddy with changing his brake pads on his Ranger. And he said the dude at Vatozone said his brake pads were under a lifetime warranty. Which makes no sense, they’re essentially a wear item haha. Hopefully my Vatozone pads are under lifetime warranty too

 

I had led turn signals up until like last week, but not anymore.

 

Apparently it sticks with your phone number. We'll see lol

 

Has anybody runs these in the blinker location?:



Total impulse buy. Better rear blinker bulbs that can beat these? At $28 OTD I feel regretful.

 

@JKO1998 Are you running 15" or 16" factory steelies on your truck?

 

16’s

What they come factory on I do not know For sure.

1st gen tundra wheel

 

Where'd you find them at? I'm looking for the same wheel but in a 15. Like the ones that come factory on the 95-00 trucks.

 

Gave up on making my own from scratch and ordered sliders.

 

15 should be easy to find. All the spares in those years were 15"

I got them from a buddy of mine. It took us awhile to find all 4 that matched.

 

I got them from him^ I was picky and drug out the process.

I would trade you my 15” wheel for a 16haha

 

Know of any place that sells them new? I've been looking for awhile on Craigslist, but no one around here is ever selling them.

I have one

 

Thanks! Only 2 in stock right now unfortunately.

That, plus mine and I found one on Craigslist makes 3. Getting closer haha.

 

Yikes. I bought a pack of 10 for like $13 on Amazon. Now I doubt they are the best but they work

 

Yeah I've ran those types like those. But I threw the last 4 or 5 away. Hoping to avoid that. Pita to pull the lenses with my bumper..

 

I have a problem getting bored with my setup... selling my bumper tomorrow so today I started making a new bumper with my buddy who has the tube bender skills. I blame @Spoonman for making me want a cleaner design!

 

Best mod for the money! I love driving down the highway, holding the steering wheel in one spot, and going straight as an arrow.

 

Seriously, I think mine has been loose for so long I don't even remember it feeling this good! Thought it was my steering rack bushings again, change them & no difference. Felt a lot of play on the steering shaft pinion on the rack. Changed the guide bushing & spring, that eliminated all the play at the rack & got rid of a lot of steering wheel play but I still had some. Now with the tacks it's solid! Good thing I didn't go & change the rack cause it wasn't needed.
