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

I have those switches you had pictured. I installed two on the side of the shifter console. Beside and towards the front of the 4wd shifter if that makes sense. For me, they are hidden, out of the way and never get accidentally turned on.

 

Nice! How long have you had them? The LED bulbs still runnin bright?

 

I got some at advanced auto parts, check auto part stores

Heres where I put some (4) the red and blue also had green (light up) are from advanced auto parts

just use a good switch (not just cheap) and do it right and you'll have no worries.

 

Do you use the factory clock? Of course not, no one does.. You can fit 4 of those round ones there.. I have my in cab winch controls there on 2 toggles.

 

That's where I have my three switches too. Easy to install with just enough room for wiring by the fuses panel.

and a better day time pic of the light bar

 

This is what I used to have for my switches in my truck until I put an 01-04 center console in:


I thought it was clean, out of the way, and easy to access.

 

Haven't forgot about you man, just FYI. The panels hav been sent off and I'm waiting on the first complete bolt in set up! As soon as I get mine back and make sure everything is smooth and fits correctly then ill jump on yours and send it out along with the clock panel!

 

Is it mounted on the pull-away fuse panel or just above it like in Trigo's photo?

 

Looks good thanks for the pic's yeah it could be pointed a little higher

 

Righteous! Can't wait, dood! Thanks for the update, Chad!

 

Does anyone know the part numbers for the 2 oxygen sensors on a 96' 2.7l? I was planning on ordering from rock auto or auto anything. Or if anyone else knows of a good sight to order from.

 

I would think the deckplate wouldake the engine think there's more air, throwing off the fuel to air ratio and oversaturating the blend... But it could be the gas too. Have you heard anything.about the AMSoil filter as opposed to k&n? Or some other type of filter that doesn't need to be replaced

 

K&N filters are bad for our trucks? I gotta look into this more...

On another note, I've been thinking of adding curtains for privacy in the camper, but I haven't found a solution that I'm happy with just yet. So I hung the didgeridoo above my wingdoor. Held in place w 4-8" mini bungees hooked to a loop I screwed onto the window bolts. -Cheap and easy

 

I play didgeridoo haha not many out there . . .

 

I like!

 

Bout to get her tuned up and smogged

 

Mine are mounted on the "pull-away" door thing. Just using small cheap illuminated switches with relays through my blue seas fuse fuse block and circuit breaker. I painted the door black because it was from my old tacoma with a tan interior, and I kept the gray one in case I hated the switches there, but I like it.

 

Hey all you first gen guys, please look at this and let me know if you think it's a good deal? Appreciate it in advance!

If you like the DB lift...then I guess its a good deal. The truck looks pretty decent for how much its lifted....I would give him like 10K
