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

You're describing changing your lever ratio. You're not going to be able to do that without bending the pedal rod and changing the fulcrum point. My suggestion would be to cut out the material below the pedal

 

You get it yet?

 

Nope, this email was from January 20. Hoping to have it soon.

 

I like this

 

This is the way the front lights SHOULD rationally work on our first gens. Is there a walkthrough of this exact setup? I'll take my hits if its here somewhere already, I have a lot of shit to do today and don't have the time to dial in the search function. I promise I'll bookmark it and never ask again

"Have band aids. The tranny is sharp inside. Very sharp."

Reading this ya just have to cringe a little...

 

This is why I LOVE this forum. Many Thanks.

 

This is the route I went with. I was going to add LED turn signal bulbs so I needed a resistor anyways.

you must be pretty young, because all of the cars us old people grew up with had the high beam floor switch.

 

Take it out, put in vice, hammer away. I did mine a long time ago.

Only down side is you can't really do the same with the brake pedal

 

Haha. Says the guy with "old" in his name...

 

I liked the floor switch In my 91 F-150

 

Past week or so but went from this:



to this:



Finally pulled the trigger and went back to mid travel... 5100's, Built Right UCA, still has deaver SUA, 12" shackles and Raptor shocks out back. It spends more time on-road than off these days. Kinda sad that it looks so simple but once it gets a fresh paint job itll be a normal Taco again!

 

How much are they charging for Built Rights these days?

 

Dislike

 

I’m wanting to do the same thing to my truck and I’m just a little confused on how to switch the blinkers to the side markers instead. Did you just order led switch backs for the fog lights/blinkers then?

 

I’m looking to get new seat covers. I want some that are a perfect fit and am struggling to find them. If you guys can let me know what kind you have and where you got them that would be great!!

 

I didn't end up getting them (maybe I still will some day, but for now an old blanket is getting the job done on my bench seat), but I was eying ShearComfort covers based on this recommendation. I like the old-school saddle blanket look. They have a ton of other styles if that's not your thing.

 

I ran Wet Okole's in a couple different 1st gens and i loved them. They fit great, looked almost stock and were very comfortable.
