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

@Gen1FTMFW FYI, everyone is told me I should have changed out the fan bearing when I did my pump and belt. I had purchased an Aisin kit with idler pulleys and tensioners. So I'll have to change mine this spring when the weather gets better. Search the TW world for it, I can't find it but it can do serious damage if it comes apart.

Yeah I've done a bit of research on it. You can see here in an old post where I adapted the Jaguar unit...

Jag Alt Install and Prep

and of course you're right on the Big 3 (technically 4 since our trucks don't come stock with a frame ground), all done in 2 gauge wiring.

I want !
Where did you pick up ?

 

Clean!!

 

Do you have a 4cyl or a V6, the Jag alt is only a direct fit for the 4cyl. I picked it up used from a non supercharged 1996 Jaguar XJ6 4.0L on eBay, they're usually 60 bucks or so.

 

4 cylinder but im talking about your TRD supercharger

 

That was an impulse buy haha, but it is already spoken for

 

Yup, already on the to do list.

Also, when you use the bold font, the @ function does not alert me.

 

Has anyone seen a lunar mist tacoma with olive green wheels before? Looking at possibly buying some new wheels but wondering how the wheel color will match the silver.

 

Just want to make sure but Prerunner (6 lug) drive shafts are interchangeable on all 6 lugs correct? Found a wrecked truck locally and am trying to get an OSK drive shaft

 

Finally got my skid plate put on! It took tracking down a new front cross member, removing a forgotten broken bolt, and some other little tweaks.

 

If you are asking if a drive shaft from a 4x4 will fit on a Prerunner, the answer is no.

 

Like the 2wd 6 lug x-tended cab. That drive shaft won't work on my 4x4 6 lug x-tended cab? I thought they were all the same minus the 4 wheel drive system

 

Ah dammit that's right. I was just picturing from the 3rd member to the CB and not to the transmission. Well the quest continues

 

The rear portion is the same, which is all you're likely to damage anyways.

 

Finished the install of my winch/bumper. Found a good location in the engine bay for the controller, but this necessitated lengthening all of the cables.

Used this blank area next to the air box.

Made up this little bracket that bolted to a couple of existing nuts.

and voila



I used a set of heavy duty jumper cables to get the

#2 gauge​

wire.

 

Welding cable is my go-to for mobile heavy-current systems.

 

Got my 2nd ammo can and mounted it today. Worked out perfect as I can still fit my 2 gas cans between them. Between the ammo cans and the Husky storage boxes I got for the cab, I have a ton of secured storage now.

 

They're the 15 gallon ones from Home Depot. I do have to shuffle them around to be able to unlatch and open the lid. A bit of a pain but not too big a deal. They don't need to come all the way out at least.

Replaced my heater core. Took it out from the driver side, so I didn't have to discharge the A/C. As a bonus I resoldered my, never working clock, which just came on today.
