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

Well I finally got around to replacing the four pieces of bottom window trim. These new ones should do a much better job of cleaning off dew and condensation when I roll the windows up and down. Sorry no pics for this project, to dam hot outside. Trying to get them off without bending them is a chore. My neighbor wants my old two front ones for his truck.

 

Air water intercooler might be easier to fit with a radiator in the front.

 

Fixed some seatbelts that my dog ate.

Special thanks to this video on YouTube for helping me remove the old belt and replace it with new ones

Except currently the train has a better paint job than my truck! Color wise, it's a mutt. Three paint shades. I keep saying I'll get it all one color, but then I get distracted by things more fun than wet sanding and taping. So, just about anything.

 

Bring it on up by me, we’ll set you up with a proper prim- I mean cement paint job! Lol

 

The balljoint is still attached, Must have sheared the bolts off.

 

I’m pretty sure the only thing holding it together are the brake lines and cv axle, so it could go either way

 

Anyone have any ideas as two why the battery light is on in my 99? Alternator is putting out 14.1 volts at idle. Battery is sitting at 12.7

 

Battery terminals ok?

 

Blown alternator fuse probably

 

Alternator would not be charging then right? Fuses test good. The voltages above were read from the obd port.

 

what is the parts needed for LBJ for 2002 Tacoma? I want to replace both of mine. No idea when previous owner did it

 

is this only for 1 driver side ? Is passenger different ?

 

Both driver and passenger

1 LBJ per side

8 bolts

 

Yea I did not pay attention to your image. Now I see it. That was all you needed ?

 

Alternator will try to charge because the regulator will see 12v instead of 14. So it’ll try but it won’t be charging anything

 

Yep, parts wise anyway. Might want to consider replacing the rubber dust boot that goes around the LBJ boot if it's torn up (only on 01 - 04s).

 

I pulled it out and reinstalled it and it seems to have gone away. I think there may have been a little corrosion in the plug.

 

Just ordered mine as well
