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

Swapped the radios in the trucks, cause BT is cooler in the daily.

 

No the spacer is in the tilt pivot ball in the tack weld video.

 

Yeah I see that now thanks! I need to do this mod.

 

Did a little thing my dad did the center caps and I did the rims. The tool box in the bed I got for free from a 2013 tacoma on offer up, it cleaned up nice with a pressure wash and some trim restore.

 

Not a bad looking pair if you ask me.

 

Picked up the new battery! @turbodb does yours fit like this as well?

 

Most of the AGM options fit like that, I have a @Coupe bracket which has adjustable edges to grip the battery better.

This is on my old truck, cause I don't really take pics of the new one, but you get the idea, the things that trap the sides of the battery can be moved and locked into new positions.

 

Where do I get one those brackets?

 

Make a conversation with @Coupe and make sure to mention it's for a 1st gen, most of his customers are 2nd gen it seems

 

Gotcha! Thanks.

 

Finally got the EXO cage done on my tacoma,, cut out the rear section and added some rear seats!!!

 

Also made my own soft top from a bestop from a Jeep

 

Went to replace my TPS on my throttle body. Removed the top screw and stripped out the second. Whose idea was it to put Phillips head screws in there. So I’ll be removing the whole assembly to replace the sensor. May as well clean it up while it’s off. Any recommendations for making it shine again?

 

Those are JIS cross-point, not 'merican Phillips.

Ordered. Thanks again!

 

A dremel with a wire wheel on low speed did the trick for me.

 

That looks really nice. Did you replace any screws with bolts with the same thread pitch?

 

I Did not replace any screws or bolts but I did take them out and clamped them in a vice while I used the dremel to clean each one
