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

Ha ha! Yup! I got it thru LKQ Corp./Keystone Automotive. They shipped one from their warehouse in Cali. up to the one in Boise, and I just had to pick it up! Console cost 75 bucks.
Here's their info:

$75 new?

If that's the case, that's a smoking deal.

 

What colors do they have them in

 

I noticed last night that when I turn my knob from heat to defrost it kicks the ac compressor on even though the ac button is not pressed. Is it normally supposed to kick on? I've never noticed this before

 

yes, theres a mod that you can do to keep that from happening, not sure why it does it. but someone else may can enlighten you more.

 

Hmm okay. I guess I've just never noticed it until yesterday. Thanks man

 

Yes, there is a mod for this......I've done it & works great. Very simple to do.
Here ya go....

but since the compressor comes on shouldnt it be meant for it to? cause they wouldnt make it do something unless it was meant to, except for the diff lock mod... thats just pointless

 

Excellent! Thanks buddy

 

today i installed deck plate mod on my 99 2.7 4x4 .hope this works out like i heard about

 

Yes.

Do not do this mod if you need to actually defrost your windows.

The AC comes on because it needs to dehumidify the air it's blowing on your cold windshield in order to clear it. If it blows moist air onto your cold windshield water will condense on it, thus defeating the purpose of defrosting your windshield.

The reason why your AC light doesn't light up is because most average Americans would freak out thinking something was wrong.

 

Turbocharging FTW. 329WHP 390WTQ

 

you should post a picture of it got a 98 2.7 im thinkin bout doing

 

I didn't ask since I'm dying and painting mine black...

Not new... used, abused, and nasty! I'm pretty sure it got pulled out of a junk yard from a Yota that's been there for a while! I took every little bit apart (like you said) and scrub washed it all... and it came out much better looking!

 

Pics of the stance you get with the wheel spacers?

 

Did a partial debadge, had left over supplies from painting my winter rims. Decided to paint tacoma badge on doors.

 

Pics or it didnt happen...
