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

yea mine didn't deploy either when i hit the ditch..only have one anyways..

but still..odd..

 

fck man
*knock on wood* with all this talk of collisions/airbags not deploying

 

Sounds like the start of a new thread...what ya think?....Toyota airbag WTF? Sound good?

 

After I wrecked my 96, the airbag light came on. I'm assuming it wouldn't have gone off if I got into a wreck...

 

I will be interested at how many airbags ...don't deploy..just food for thought

 

installed 2.5* shims.



uninstalled 2.5* shims

 

I've got a buddy who owes his life to not wearing a seat belt, would have had a steering column through his chest if he was wearing one. That said there are TONS more people saved because they had one. I wear one ALL the time. You're lucky nothing worse happened without that belt, what would we do with out you on here all the time I always carry a knife and have one of those window buster things that also has something to cut belts.

 

Not my tacoma but my 95 civic didn't deploy when I got backed into.

 

A true vulture knows the exact moment to dive down for the scavenge.

 

Next xx commercial ...I can see it.

 

Something about my 4 wheel drive and the transmission going...That's the BS they told me....

 

I know my airbags work.

 

When I wrecked my first tacoma, my air bag knocked the fuck out of my face and arm. I hit a stopped car in traffic at 55 mph. $13k in damage to the volvo I hit, $3k to fix mine (with a bent frame)

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction for the replacement bulbs in my dash? (and the replacement write-up?)

many thanks.

Anyone know anything about the ignition cylinder? Mine is kind of sticky and sometimes I cant turn the key to start it. Was thinking about replacing the cylinder, along with door locks. I just dont know how hard swapping ignitions would be. I would assume its made not easy to steal.
Edit: just looked in my haynes manual. It shows how to remove it

 

Sounds like what happened when I got stranded:

I ended up bringing it to a lock smith who put in a new tumbler and cut keys so that my ignition and door locks used the same key
