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

Yes sir I did!!! Do they look bad?

 

No, they look good. Will probably have to do the same after I put on a new suspension.

 

When I first called he said 290 then he said let me call u back he called back n said 155

 

The T5 is what I bought originally. I have 3 bulbs behind the climate control and they are very little fu**rs. the t5's were too big.

 

2 oil filters from dealership for 11.50 yes sir

 

Honestly I'm not sure, I didn't think about it till I put it back together. I may change to a different bulb in the cluster so if I take it back apart I'll check. It only took me <10 minutes to get this done but I'm not sure on the other half since all the wiring and ductwork runs through it. I hope it's not too hard because I want to dye my interior too (which is why I assume you're asking). I'm hoping the ductwork and harnesses are on some brackets coming off the firewall and the dash panel is just a cover.

 

Like obviously not the right size or barely wont fit? I had to trim the circuit board on my t5's to fit in the plug. But there is another bulb smaller than a t5 in my a/c button and my airbag light which I haven't changed yet. I'm going to try and find out the size on those in a second.

 

Like significantly diff. Has the same stlye screw in base but smaller, and the bulb is smaller. The bulb looks even smaller than the little ass 74's. If you find it, let me know.

 

They may be T1.5's

 

I agree go ahead and paint them now.

 

Found it. The ones i ordered orig. are the T1.5's, and they were too big. Read this.....http://www.customtacos.com/forum/showthread.php?t=118109

I guess I will be doing this conversion when I get time.

 

Bought a grease gun, grease, and a flexible hose. Gonna grease everything up tomorrow while I'm under the truck.

Which brings up a question, what tools will I need to install my lift? The lift consists of shocks, coils, and add a leafs.
So far these are the only things I can think of:
-Floor jack
-impact wrench
-c clamps
-torque wrench
-spring compressor

That's all I can think of now... I'll be using one of these to install the lift, so jacking the truck up won't be a problem.

 

there ya go

 

Sweet!

I was just trying to figure out how I could mount this badboy in the same spot...

 

PB BLASTER

 

Got it already, I've been spraying the bolts once a day since Monday

 

Cant wait to see your truck lifted!! Gonna make me super jelous!

 

Haha I can't wait either! I just have to get it installed within 8 hours... Otherwise I have to pay to store my truck there.

 

Good deal man. And 8 hours should be plenty of time. Hopefully you don't have any issues with the 3 nuts on the top of the strut being frozen. I've had to cut them off before but my other tacoma had like 180k on the originals.
