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

On mine they are pressed in also, the zerk body is round, no hex for a wrench or socket. Mine are only a month old though, have only greased them once. If they do pop out I'll tap threads & install threaded zerks like the shackles have.

Wish I saw that post before I put mine on, I would have tapped them before putting them on.

 

Let me know if it helps! Since we have the same setup

 

Will do. Most likely this wont be the only time I make changes to the valving.

 

I finally installed lights in my rear bumper. Took about an hour and a half. I’ll take pics tomorrow, it got dark. Wired them to a switch in the cab and to the reverse lights. Been putting it off for last 3 weeks

 

Makes sense. I know your pain. Lol I meant to get them swapped to extended travel last time they were rebuilt. But forgot to add that to my form I filled out.

 

Yeah its crazy, just a little spacer that makes the difference For ext travel. I drove my friends truck with Kings and he had the same hard rebound. So buying a whole new set isnt the answer. Pretty much told me all that Ive read. Shocks should be valved to specific vehicles.

 

Interesting, Can you post a picture of the mirror itself?

I'm curious as to why you didn't just epoxy a windshield wedge, that what I did. I have a Gentex 313 out of a 2012 Nissan Titan. As for temperature, for my specific mirror you have to use the exact sensor that came from the vehicle. I had to special order the ambient temperature sensor brand new from Nissan. Different sensors have different resistances.

 

ive debated adding one of these mirrors to my truck.. my corolla and avalon i put some in.. but i just dont like that it wont be roof mounted anymore.. and i cant find the damn cover for the hole it leaves behind on the map light assembly

 

It's one of the best upgrades I have ever done, hands down. The auto-dim, outside temperature, HomeLink, and compass are immensely useful. You can even get models that have additional map lights installed.

 

oh i know. i have a newer one out of a tacoma with the backup camera integrated in. thats the one id use. then figure how to fit a oem camera in without it looking like shit

 

Mainly I did it because of the temperature display and HomeLink. Not many of these mirrors had temperature, and HomeLink together.

 

the new mirrors in the rav4 limited are interesting.. they look neat. home link and temp with compass. and they look frameless

 

my bad. no temp. only compass. im thinking of something else with temp and compass

 

Interesting concept. Very sleek.

 

Question for you guys that are 4x4.

Who had a stock 4x4 truck come from the factory with 4.30 gearing? I found that 4.30 in the front did not exist during my search for a front differential. I had to get one from a 4Runner to do my swap.

 

That's the only thing holding me back from installing one of these, I don't want to glue the mount to the windshield.

Always had an idea to make some sort of mount someday. Glad to see it has been done by NeonTaco to give me inspiration.

 

Why not? There's really no discernable difference between the two haha.

 

i believe the double cab 4 cylinders had that gearing... not 100% sure.

 

Decided I have enough Toyotas so I got this to keep the Taco comfy in the garage...

 

Mine is 4.10. You are running 4.30? That’s pretty awesome. I need to regear soon!
