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

I think i found my noise...

 

I got a led dome light from RMAN808 and now I don't have to use a flashlight at night to look inside my cab u have plenty of light to see with the led. I would recommend it to everybody

 

How did you get them to work? Whenever I put an led in mine it would flicker and be very dim

 

You need to hook up resistors to get them to work properly.

 

I actually love my contour HD much easier to use than the gopro I had. Sold that. But the contour has gotten me thinking on some weird camera Ideas

 

Probably drl's (daytime running light). I jut had to unplug something under the hood but on yours I believe you have to cut a wire under the dash. There's a few write ups on it. IIRC M3Bassman has done it.

All first gen double cabs were auto.

 

I don't think they ever did

 

CVJ in Denver is the way to go. High angle silicone cv boots and axle rebuild for 130you an axle. See my build thread.

 

I just took my old bulb out n put led in. I blew a fuse at first trying to put it in but after I replaced fuse it came right on

 

switch is off.... weird huh??

dont like them on ...only need them on at night. Im weird like that...lol

thats exactly how mine is. Just headlights

 

The pre-2001's don't seem to have the issues with the led's like the 01-04's do. Mine was just plug and play but on the 01-04's you have to solder a resistor. That's about the extent of my knowledge though

 

Yikes! Lucky you had the spare parts on hand. I would not want to do that on a road out in the sticks.

A couple years back I noticed a couple of my bolts had sheered off and backed out on a knuckle while I was out bombing some logging roads. Calmest drive back, ever. haha. Ever since I've gone over board with locktite and torqued them exactly to what the book says and check them regularly.

 

Did the timing belt and water pump service. Then went wheelin in Big Bear and smoked my clutch. I had just ordered my Marlin Crawler and thought I could get one more trip out of the old girl. At least it made it home...

 

Finally got my extended airlift bags on today. I've been rocking the stock height ones for two years with the lift on....they've been crying for awhile now. With longer bags I should be able to level it out (taco lean) a bit more too.

 

Detailed the inside and gave the outside a bath....

 

Eh, the GoPro is like a dslr camera. When you first get one you're really confused! But once you learn the settings, there are so many more options! Plus the GoPro brand has more stuff.

 

True but for when im blasting down a trail on my bike i just slide it toe record. no button pushing.

 

Oh haha so slide it instead of pushing a button?
