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

where did you get them? maybe they have a spare bottom seat frame assembly something broke in mine recently (spring, bolt, bushing not really sure) and i don't have a clue where or how to get it fixed! my searches so far have been pure dead ends
my lumbar lever/switch is manual so something like that may not fit my seats bolt pattern but you never know

 

I edited my post just a second ago. I got them sent to me from a junkyard in New Hampshire. I found them through car-part.com. Give that a try, you might find something there! Just be prepared to pay. I paid $100 for each seat, plus $250 freight shipping to my dealer

 

thanks!, i had something sent to me from LKQ corp from a 4Runner of the same year as my truck but that one must've been flooded out and rusty garbage seat for $90

i have already asked @Running Man about his part out seats that i think would be direct fit but not sure if he is able to come through for me yet
it would be nice to just be able to fix whatever is broken or loose!

 

Anyone have this on their Tacoma? And can show me a pic of what they have on their?

 

Looks great now with the black.

I did briefly. I didn't like how much my phone bounced around and was unreadable using it. If you use a very, very short mounting arm AND don't drive off-road you may have better luck.

 

Go check out @NYCO Build

 

Dang yeah I do some off roading time to time. Just need something to put my HAM handled radio and phone

 

I'd recommend making something that mounts to the floor, or center console near the dash and having a 4" RAM arm coming up from there that is stiff. Most of the vibrations were from the leverage of the arm I used and the weight of the phone causing that thin metal mount to bend/flex and just vibrate.

 

I run one of those panavise mounts with a tablet and don't really have any complaints. I just put one of the arms of the x grip against the dash and it helps support it.

Yeah, it vibrates a little, but you shouldn't be looking at your phone or whatever that much while your driving anyways.

 

Good thing your maps/phone will be easy to read while you're driving off the road or causing a crash.

 

I use the Mob Armor one for GPS. Very easy to glance at while driving.

The Panavise holes my Ham radio faceplate. Moves too much for a tablet IMO.

RAM Ball mount off A pillar for APRS. Phone mount off the right I don't use anymore.

My hams under the radio and my gps goes in the center console when I’m not looking at it

 

Goddamn. I want that.

Those are gorgeous seats. I had no idea some of our trucks came with seats like that...

 

... just got the upper radiator hose in from AZ to replace with new clamps so i can safely travel out of town without coolant leak worries
i am still interested in them if you still are with parting out to another old SR5 and keep my Toyota a Toyota
i have blue gray trim pieces so maybe somebody might have use for the tan oak ones on yours?
a part out of the part out

 

Yup. All 01-04 limited and s-runner Tacoma’s came with them

 

does anybody know when Toyota's radiator hose clamps changed?
i got these new ones for the new hose and they are black and do not look like my originals that are silvery (with lots of humidity weathering but no crusty rusty)

I'm also not sure how to unclamp them from the reddish holder type of thing on the top
probably should have safety glasses on in case it springs off into the face

 

Clear coat like S&M bikes does some of theirs. I always thought that looked cool. I almost did that for my front/rear bumpers but changed my mind at the last minute.

 

I did the clear coat thing for a while, looked like ass after a bit, really only works in a high shine environment but thats hard to maintain on those surfaces with their many corners and curves

 

Sick of listening to my alternator scream every morning on start up, where's the best place to get OEM replacement?
