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

194 for most of the bulbs. the heater controls are t4 Neowedge if i remember correctly ( i believe you can get a 74 bulb to fit.. but neowedge is the correct bulb

 

Don't you have the center console with the two cupholders?

 

dude.. 90s celicas didnt even have cup holders. be grateful lol

 

no. 60/40 bench with a fold down colsole armrest and that goofy cupholder setup. Thats why Im hunting down 3rd gen 4runner seats.

 

That 4Runner you found didn't have the seats?

 

Crappy seats. I want nice ones, particulalry the 2000-2002 SR5 style in tan cloth. Ill wait awhile if I have to.

 

Limited had leather power seats.

 

Not wanting to do that wiring. Just the minor fab work for the seat holes. Gonna be hard to find a tan center console too.

 

Wut

It's two wires per seat. 12v, and Ground.

Some trucks even had the Limited power seat connector by connector BN1 already under the seat.

 

Hmm maybe. Leather would have to be in good shape tho. Hard to find that in a junkyard.

 

In case anyone wants to know:

The front seats of a 1st gen tacoma weigh about 60# a piece boxed up with the rear lower jump seat pad. This is X2. When boxed they fit in a box that 25x24x29. I used a UHaul wardrobe box cut down. The box is called the Shorty Wardrobe. I wrapped the seats in six moving blankets a piece and they seemed to fit snug.

The rear back rest weighs about 11# wrapped up in cardboard. It's 12x4x54

 

I have a tan center....

 

You can avoid tracking one of those down and just add 2 cupholders to your current plastic.

If you want to be able to slide the passenger seat all the way to the front, you'll want the single version:

I wish they made them without the flashlight or cell phone holder because I don't need that crap.

 

I bought the double version. I didn’t like it because of the seat sliding issue. He didn’t make the single version until long after I bought the double version.

 

Thanks . Were did you get the wire harness from?

 

I got the universal one from here - http://www.headlightservices.com/Wiring.html

 

Just installed LED Dash lights today!

 

Thank you! I’ll be getting that single version now. Regardless if I get the taco box or not. I could use an extra one.

 

Completed the "underprivileged neighborhood" (can't say get-toe anymore, not PC ) version of the @BartMaster1234 (thanks for the idea) horn upgrade. Sounds great and I like the volume level running off the original wire size. With a few bends, I was able to re-use the donor vehicle brackets.

I know it is valuable space for many things, but not currently using it and I hated the idea of removing the grille, again...

 

The 453 Gentex mirror is a newer model and slimmer design with better features and the same size with no external compass hanging below the mirror
FYI.

Here’s the comparison
