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

Finished up my brake upgrade today. Wasn't able to get the oem brake line to disconnect, so had to remove a few line pieces back. Replaced one steel line and put every thing back together. During initial test drive realized I hadn't gotten all of the dust cover pushed back. So had to touch that up, but everything is working great. Brake fluid in line was so bad I decided to flush out the whole system.

Lat pics, I will do a entry in my build page this weekend.




It was time:

 

Transformed the stock clock into a voltage meter and finally added one of the usb charger outlets.

Key off, engine off.



Key on, engine off.



Key on, engine on.



USB outlet

 

you should do a write up for that!! that is pretty sweet

 

Thanks. Yea I might do that this weekend, when I have a little extra time. It was pretty simple.

 

That looks real good man!

 

Did you just tap into the cig lighter for power to the usb outlet? And where did you get the outlet? I really like that idea and would be great to charge my iphone

 

I WANT THAT USB where to I get

 

That's really f'in cool man.

I either going to turn that coin(?) spot on the console into a USB charging port like yours, or where I plug the Cobra 75wxst into.

 

Replaced the A/C idler adj pulley on my 2.7 Real easy job, the Toyota pulley is heavier and better built then the parts store replacement ($25) Bearing P/N on the TOYOTA bearing is 6301 (belive its the same as the 3.4)

Going to buy a bearing and rebuild my Toyota one for a spare.

Pic is of the new DAYCO one bearing didn't look fully seated?..

NO MORE WOBBLES!

 

Relocated solenoid and moved my black magics to behind the grill with BAMF light bar







Got to raise it up tomorrow.

 

woops, thats my bad.

I was thinking of the 2.7, which has banjo fittings.

 

Mine is raised right now looking at your truck

 

Put locks on the storage compartments in the bed. $7 for the locks, and done in less than an hour.

 

Sighh I wonder if these guys are color blind??? The kicker is they sent me the same RMA corner I sent back a month ago for not matching my truck and the other side they sent me is silver...all I can do is laugh:

 

Who did you order these from? I'd like to know so I don't give them my business. What's wrong with the red one, just doesn't match your paint?

 

Lucky guy with storage compartments in his 1st gen!

 

Cause the one pictured is radiant red not impulse red.

 

Oh, gotcha!

 

Awesome to see some others doing the blue seas USB port right there! I wired mine into the blue seas fuse block. I love the little charger, works awesome!
