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

Id call to be sure they have it unless you have the pleasure of living near a parts warehouse. In my experience, I always have to wait on calipers to be shipped to the parts stores.

 

Based on The website, my local store has it in stock,

 

My guess is it's probably a pretty standard size for Toyotas. I found the part number for the bleeder and looked up on TPD and below are some of the models that part covered.

EDIT: I didn't notice partsouq gave 47547-35020 as a substitution. Correct part number was 47547-04010. Still, i bet both parts work so basically a bleeder for any of the models below should be fine.

 

And for the cost, I imagine the parts store would only have a few different metric sized bleeders on the shelf. Could just buy a few and use whichever one works.

 

my thoughts exactly!

 

Well I found it based on the sizing and all , https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/...112/2560239/2004/toyota/tacoma?q=H94112&pos=0 just picked them up too

 

That's pretty cool what parts did you use??

 

Nice. I wonder how that would work with the 4runner guys poly bushings. They look like a better bushing to me.

 

These ??

Today - I installed an oem stereo to replace my dated and worn aftermarket unit that came with the truck.


I had added an auxiliary input so I can stream music from my cell phone, and ran the wire through a hole above the glove box where the factory would install a light in more "loaded" models. No cutting or drilling any "vintage" parts needed!


Just not a fan of clutter, and dont like seeing my phone and wires hanging out while driving most of the time! I was going to add usb as well tapped from a 12v outlet, but the crappy unit I got from ebay didnt work out of the box so that will have to come another day.


Called my wife and simply put the phone in the cup holder for hands free conversation while driving home from the test run. It was nice to hear her over the speakers and she said she could hear me fine even while on the freeway.

Basically I wanted the oem look with streaming music from my phone and hands free calling - mission accomplished!

 

Cut into a perfectly good fender and installed a blowhole.

Took off my silly 2001 non-oh-$%*#-having a-pillar trim piece and added a 2002 oh-$%*#-having a-pillar trim piece, keeping the mic cable hidden as it was before, adding a charging cable for the 1" ball ram mount thingy for a phone/tablet mount that'll live on the lower handle bolt.

All in the middle of NW Portland, on the sidewalk...

 

Yep

 

My upstream o2 sensor delete. No more pesky check engine light.



The resistor gets really really hot though, I’m wondering if I can use two in series to dissipate the heat more. I don’t like how hot it gets.

 

$90 for 4 bushings! Damn they're proud of them things.

 

Larger watt resistor or 2 larger ohm rating in parallel. I think let me do the math. What size is that one?

 

4 bushings so that's for both sides. Not that bad.

 

2 40 ohm 20 watt

 

This is the item I installed: https://powerwerx.com/panel-mount-temperature-volt-meter

 

I’d say that’s a fair price as long as you have the buyer pay shipping. I’d be interested in them if you do decide to sell them.

 

Where did you tap to get aux?
