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

Nugget? Is that the technical term?

 

So the 10.6V is just the measurement of the battery. The truck as to be running to test the Alternator

 

@Sperrunner hose it down with salt water next time youre Tylers mechanic.

 

I totally ate a piece of that gum too.

 

Most Bose speakers are crap without their equalizer and amplifier. They typically use 1 or 2 ohm coils and Bose uses the special equalizer to elminate the frequencies that their cheap speakers cannot reproduce. Just be careful before plugging them into your deck, if they're 1 or 2 ohm it will not be happy.

 

Well my thought was that since the truck was pretty rough trying to start (never has happened prior) and I know my battery isn’t bad as it’s only a few years old that it’s the alternator (especially since everything was fine until the mud).

But I went to try it just now and I get clicks, so I’ll jump it tomorrow and test it while running.

 

Daniels Automotive Repair is like 2 miles from your house. Try him out. He’s a Toyota genius I’ve heard

 

Shitty picture but what do y’all think of the hoops?

 

Looks nice

 

I got this 3rd brake light - https://www.ebay.com/itm/FOR-95-16-...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

And these LED tails - https://www.ebay.com/itm/360-DEGREE...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

Very happy with them, they work great and look great IMO. The tail lights come with nice LED reverse bulbs that are very bright. Turn signal bulbs are normal.





Best pic I have of the 3rd brake light.

 

Kind of resembles the Relentless Predator style which is my favorite 1st gen bumper bar none, looks good

 

Haha I’ll see if I can get an appointment

 

Thank you sir

thats what I was shooting for. It’s my fav too

 

Get him a 6 pack of Victoria Mexican beer and you can get an early appointment

 

Hey Tyler,

Check it out. Replaced my D-side LBJ this evening. While hitting my outer tie rod, here is what hit the floor. Thought you'd get a kick out of this pic. But hey, not only is the cost of living lower here, we never need to apply Loctite in the rustbelt.

It's Tacoma psoriasis!

 

Only thing that falls off my Tacoma when I whack it with a hammer is dried mud. Arizona has even less rust than California does!

 

Yeah, I curse Fe2O3.nH2O(s) every time I even think about working on my under body area. Even the interior gets slammed. Anything attaching to the floor is suspect. I went to pull my pass seat a few weeks ago and the first two bolts twisted off. I was so pissed.

 

What kind of salt would you like me to use

 

Awesome man! I love the look of smoked on my black 2nd gen. But I love the look of clean simple on this truck. Trying something new, I’ve been eyeing the “nice” LED tails on YouTube

 

Installed a powertrax rear locker today. Unfortunately did not take any pictures, but I’m happy to answer any questions!
