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

Nope and I don't like retrofits.

 

I love retrofits and plan on doing it to mine but since it's a silver truck I kind of like the chrome grill and the chrome part of the headlights.

 

Picked up some LED rock lights today. 20 modules with 3 LED's each for $40. Not sure how I'm going to mount them yet.. They all have 3m tape on the back but I don't see that lasting long. I might get some small self tapping screws since they have ears on both sides and screw them to the body. I'm thinking 6 down each rocker and 4 front and rear.

 

Don't like blacked out lights.. Or black on black/murdered out or whatever they call it these days.

Do like the idea of a retro fit projector though

 

Hit 153,000 on the Taco today



More leaks yay lol



Just like this pic

 

Is that not condensation? I sometimes will have a small puddle like that also.

 

Is that what it is?? Ill be relieved if it is im OCD about any leak on my taco bugs the shit outta me. I was just wondering never seen the puddle that big. Then again its triple digits here in Texas atm.

 

i believe thats condensation also

if its just behind the front passenger tire, my truck gets condensation leaks there also. whats a bitch is when your changing the upstream o2 sensor and its dripping on you haha

 

Yeah, looks like A/C condensation.

 

Just did this mod and its the best, even better than the grey wire mod. I can unlock my truck from across the street now!http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/te...e-antenna-wire-radio-antenna.html#post6164825

 

Ordered my EMU and 881's with trim packers. Hopefully to match up with my Deaver 8's.

 

Old post, but i guess i hit the multi quote and it saved it, anyway...

on mine, 2001, there are wires attached to the retractor.

 

I wish I could do this and the grey wire mod... manual locks

 

retro fits aren't just for looks the light output is so much better than stock.

 

Did this yesterday...


And done.

 

Eh, less stuff to break. I like my sr5 with manual windows and locks.

 

This is true but I drove my 96 tacoma with manual locks and windows for 6 years and it got old. Now I feel like I'm living in the lap of luxury in my 2000

 

I've had both, and even more fancy pants stuff in the new car I bought in 09 that I ended up trading in on my truck. The only time power windows are nice is if someone pulls up on your passenger side and you want to talk to them. But it's not a big deal, just reach across and roll up/ down. New vehicles have too many electronics, and everything is tied into everything else. I'll stick with my manual windows/ locks for now. Only thing I wish my truck had is cruise control.

Unfortunately, when the Mrs and I decide to pop out a giblet I will likely get a 2nd gen double cab since the 1st gen double cab's were not available in manual. Simpler is better IMO, much easier to troubleshoot and fix.

 

^I'm in the same boat as you. My '96 is manual everything and I love it... unless it comes to rolling down the passenger window.

When it comes to the kids, though, I'm keeping this truck. Wifey and I are starting her Grand Wagoneer diesel build to handle kid duties
