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

I heard blues a nice color

 

May have to switch. These are bright

 

Doing the LED upgrade since I have it ripped apart. I went with superbrites cool white. They say they dim. Does yours dim?

 

Nah they didn’t. Wasn’t sure they would. I just bought the ones from the parts house. Send me the link to those for the ones that dim

 

I always thought the 01-04 front end looked like the 97-03 F150s.

 

I see where you get that they do look similar

 

I totally see that, I mistake those for a first gen sometimes in the rearview mirror

 

Same here, I get excited thinking it's another 1st Gen, then the disappointment sets in when I find out what it actually is.

 

The ugliest years of the most common truck on the earth.

 

I bought 18 of these ones for all the little idiot lights on the dash cluster and 7 of the #194 cwp5 for the actual gauges. Did the glove box light in led and the light for the hvac control panel

 

Ive read that the 01+ trucks will dim fine when leds are installed (mine do), its the earlier trucks that have a different dimmer potentiometer that prevents leds from dimming. I think @RysiuM had a post on it somewhere.

 

Transmission Fluid and Trans. Filter Replaced

 

Somewhere an engineer is laughing.

What is this goofy bolt holding my head on?

 

ALL PRO SLIDERS

 

Kinda truck related, kinda not,... but I picked up this kickass Coleman grill last night. I don’t have a grill at the house since I have a one car garage and virtually no back yard. This will be perfect for pulling double duty and a home and camping grill.


and it even fits on the tailgate pretty good too

 

Nice! You’re gonna love them. I have the same ones and they can take a beating.

 

Just a triple square bolt head. Use a 12 point socket.

 

Yep yep. Found one that fits nice in my other stash. I usualy avoid 12 pt sockets like the plague.


But its good to know it has a name. Thanks

 

Dude... same. But you can't avoid it on the head bolt. lol
