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

Haha I don't blame you. I'd do FX-R's if I could see somebody else with them so I know everything will actually fit

 

Bought a Stage 2 kit: http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/ma...coming-2nd-gen-electrical-system-upgrade.html

 

They should, size is barely larger

Thinking about doing this too

 

Me too

 

They do fit, ill send pics of mine when i get home.

 

I'm talking about depth wise.

Hmm, where did you drill the hole at then? Mine almost touches the lens even with the extra depth from the blinker mount. The only place I can see that it might work is where the stock running light is.

 

It's only 12 mm plus you have to cut out the housing anyway !

 

IIRC about where you did. Its very close to the lens. Maybe one of the previous owners stuck in different bulbs that are smaller? (im the 4th owner). Later tonight when i am home from work ill take a few pics.

I roughly followed this guide.

The guy couldn't find them either so he ended up calling toyota to figure it out. Ordered them yesterday afternoon and they were here by 7am today. Not bad service.

 

Nice. I'm going to try and look it up on camelback Toyota's website and see what I can find.

 

I have the part numbers I can dig out of the trash in a bit. 4 of one part and 1 of another.

 

Had some down time at work today so I threw some weather stripping on my tailgate to keep water out of the bed, and mounted a mag light behind my seat. More small touches to come this weekend.

 

I'm sure someone's got the link. But somewhere on this site there is a PDF of those foam pieces drawn to scale. I'll take a quick look for it here.

Don't bother with replacing the worthless foam ones. Go to the hardware store, get a little sheet of rubber, and cut them out yourself. Mine have been holding up great.

 

If you don't mind, that would be great! Haha

Nice! I like that idea for a location, haven't seen that one done before.

Here's where I put mine.

Found it:

Some stuff came in from the post office

This thing looks awesomely built and I can't wait to put it to use!


You have the power and ground wire coming from the box, as well as one extra wire that can be used as a 12 volt source to power your switches.

These are the five sets of wires for each relay. The bigger wire is the one you connect to your accessory. The smaller wire is the control wire that you connect to your switch.

Each relay has a 30amp fuse. The 15amp fuse is for that extra wire that you can use for the switches 12 volt source. The other 4 blank fuse holders can be used for any non-relayed device such as a cb radio.

Here you can see the extra wire, it's blurry, but it's there haha

Once you've seen all of that, this should look pretty understandable to you. The green blanks that are between each red wire are used for the 4 extra blank fuse space on the box.

These new ones are rubber, not foam. Not worth wasting your time.

 

Yup, still going to just buy them probably haha

 

Now come wire my truck.

 

Hah! It'll probably be a month or two before I even get this thing wired in!
