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

Another trail in the books

 

Put an awning on the truck yesterday


















Do'h

 

no trouble draining. clocked as recommended by garrett for water cooling and honestly can't clock any closer to the manifold. :shrug:

 

Glad it's working

 

Little flexy.

Can't wait to see what 63s and 14 inch shocks will do. 37s are going to take a little massaging tho.

 

How far negative do your leafs go at full bump?
I have my bump set for just a little bit past flat, but my 35s dont go up into the rear fender as far as yours when flexed out.

 

Probably about an inch and a half. You can see it here.



When I originally set up the shocks and bumps I had them set to bump just before they flattened out. But I moved my upper shock mounts and bumps up a couple months ago.

 

Trying to see if I can stop the pin hole leaks in this rear diff cover with some JB weld.

this is a photo before I used stickweld and primed and painted the cover.

 

How many bulbs need to be replaced?

 

Only 4 in the cluster. There are more if you do the ac panel, gear shifter etc.

 

I used #194’s in my gauge cluster. Neo wedge 4mm for the HVAC unit & #74’s for the glove box, & auto gear shifter light.
Never heard of #74’s for the gauge cluster. These were for my 04 Tacoma

 

Sorry you’re right. I got 194’s the 74’s are for the other stuff.

 

how many in the AC panel and shifter?

 

Not the flexiest potato in the sack.

 

After telling myself "no more truck projects for a month" seeing your cluster I went ahead and ordered the lights.

 

Worth it. Budgeting is for old people.

 

Uhh I think 2 neo wedge bulbs in ac and 1 74 bulb in gear shifter for auto but you should double check that with the internet.

 

Getting closer.

Mocked it up to check if everything is where I want it, before I take it to the shop for final welding on the flanges and perches.

 

drooooooooooool

 

Updated my dash mount, that I use for my GPS, rear view camera display, and my wireless charging phone mount.

For added structure, I cut, drilled, and tapped an aluminum plate to sandwich the dash plastic.


I drilled out the dash and painstakingly got all the M5 screws installed.


Should provide some improved flexibility.
