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

Don't know why, but I'm laughing my ass off.

You went from a love bug to a clown car!

How bad are our horns?

 

ARGH! I can never get Quicktime to work!

 

Are you talking about his vids?

They're embedded photobucket videos

 

Haha I agree this is ridiculous. I'm not too worked up about the stock horn. Just thought I could maybe find a replacement that had a different and better sound. Obviously this one failed Good thing the kind sir denied I pay for it and gave it fo FREEEEEEEEEEE

 

mine does not sound anything like your stock horn.

 

They must have used different horns on 01-04s, because my horn sounds nothing like those haha.

 

Mine sounds exactly like it.

Wonder if they changed it after 2000?

 

ya fortunately for you 01-04 owners haha damn i'm jealous

 

Gives me another cheap mod to do.

 

Oh yes, yes it does! Same here too. And again, if you get to it before I do, fill me in Just looking for a simple swap kinda deal. We'll see.

 

Changed the oil with Mobil1 and a Toyota filter, changed the tranny fluid with Mobil1, changed the t-case oil with Lucas

$30 75w-90 Synthetic Gear Lube - 1 Quart (Pack of 2)

75w-90 and replaced all washers on fill/drain plugs. Remounted my liscense plate to the lower left corner of my tailgate. Finally extended the speedo sensor wire so it could reach the sensor on the t-case. Been with out a working speeometer for about 3 months now... lol Sure is nice to have my cruise control working again. Also, got a lot of progress done on my ARB install and regear. It is taking a long time to get the preloads and back lash set though... Currently working on the carrier bearing preload and backlash right so I can get the first contact pattern.

 

weird, well now I see what all the complaining about stock horns is about.

 

Yeah, my horn SUCKED.

 

Took it to my mechanic and changed my fuel filter.

 

my cruise control goes in and out

anyone know why?? Ill want it bad for the 12 hour trek to Moab

 

have you gone through the wiring? check for bad connections, also check fuses.

I wish my truck had cruise control.

 

replace it with a horn from an 01-04 and it will sound normal. I remember my 97's sounding like that. Kind of defeats the purpose of honking at someone when your pissed! lmao they just laugh even more

 

Do you have auto or stick? Only reason i ask is on my 94 if my foot was resting on the clutch pedal, it was just enough pressure on the switch to not allow cruise. Thought i had an issue, turns out it was just driver error.

 

I think our cruise control is set up by a vacuum?

 

yea i will do that

Yes the clutch and brake both turn off the cruise control. I found that if i use the clutch to switch it off it usually will come back on when i get back up to speek..not so with the brake

yes and no. Electical to engage it, but it uses vaccum from the motor to tell how fast your going(rpms) then holds the throttle cable in the same position to keep that same vaccum going..in a nut shell anyways.
