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

The "other" two holes are slightly offset for the 4R than the Tacoma's mounting holes.

If you ever wanted to utilize all the holes, you'd just need to drill the two and call it done. They're maybe only an inch and a half over or two.

 

Yeah, that's how my truck sits now. I told myself I'd go back and drill but... it hasn't fallen off so far.

 

Started more heavy MTX on my '97 Taco 4x4. Pulled out the R150F 5 speed manual transmission for rebuild. The original OEM clutch assembly was pulled & still looked great. But it will be replaced along with the T/O bearing. Pulled the flywheel to access the rear main seal. No leaking but will replace it with a new OEM rear main seal. Will remove and replace the pilot bearing at the same time. Separated the bell housing and xfer case from the R150F tranny. All the parts got pressure washed to remove 25 years of our sandy Mississippi mud then dried in just minutes in the direct sun. It was a very long, hot day. But I got a very good start on this project.

 

I had my windshield done, worth getting it.

 

Hey you, I dig that tank. I need to replace some bits on mine before putting it back in, but don't know what parts are what. The diagrams on this think are confusing. Can you share your partnumbers?

 

Where did you find those corner lights?

 

I also want to know this.

 

New driver's seatbelt buckle. Toyota wanted $225 for the part and install. I had to take the seat out to get to the bolt.

 

the plate the i had to remove is what was bloxking these two other holes, otherwise for me all 4 holes lined up perfectly, will post pictures soon!

 

i typed in "depo clear lights tacoma" and found a set lol I had my boy paint the housing black and batta bing batta boom

 

The extra cab and double cab have different tanks and some other parts are different as well. Without seeing what you're looking to replace I don't know what you need

 

Ahh you had them painted, got it. I’ve talked with a few people that said it wasn’t possibly to open these depo lights without destroying the lens, guess I’ll look into it more

 

Thats fair. Mines is an xtracab. Can you just tell me what these circled parts are called and I can go from there?

 

Pulled the bench seat in my single cab in anticipation of new seats.

Installed a layer of sound deadening on back half of floor, and a second layer on the tunnel.



Mocked up junkyard '04 Celica seats, gonna use Corbeau brackets to mount them.

 

put more of that on the back wall and doors. You'll get way more out of it then putting it on the floor.

 

I've already got some on the back and inside the doors (did it a while ago, different product its all black and hard to see). I've got the roof covered too.

I'm going to put some Thinsulate behind a panel I'm making to cover the back part of the cab, which will also serve as a mounting point for amp, radio, etc.

 

Acquired the wheels I’ve wanted for so long.. eventually going to powder coat them bronze for the 1995 taco
