Little update, pulled, cleaned, and filled 8 year old autozone battery, which reset check engine light.

Turn signals I think are due to the driver side front turn signal being glued in, and the wires broke. Fuse is fine, but relay may not be. And theirs a mess under back for trailer hookup.

Took a chance on that handle, we will see.

Tires are 117 each out the door, falcons, stock size, the spare is an old ghetto chevy rim. Dunno about that yet. It is full size but id prefer a toyota rim, so ill hold onto the best tire.

As far as keys and alarm, I've learned nothing more then I gotta run to the dealer

 

Keyfobs you can get on flebay for 10-30 bucks
http://shop.ebay.com/?_nkw=tacoma key fob
you have the factory security system

 

Ill need to hit up dealership for codes though even if i dont have them program them correct? im lookn at original toyota key fob's

 

so clutch i think is toast, and 90% sure front drivers side hub doesnt engage, and passenger is iffy. Gonna talk to shop and might just flip it and cut my lemon losses

 

hey if you need any donor parts i might be able to help out just let me know what you need

 

are you parting out your rig, or just bought a donor for the cab?

 

he bought a doner for the cab. and hes parting it out

parting out the new truck he got not the rolled one

 

sweeeeet cause i do actually have a list of some parts i could use. Im taking it to a toyota shop here ina bit to have the belts changed, imma get their professional opinion and we shall see.

front bumper/grill/passenger front corner marker/center console/dash plastic all ring a bell though

 

With all these problems, why the heck did you buy it?

 

cause i work on bugs, and didnt know what i was looking for/at

 

If by "aftermarket," you mean LED, that's the problem. The flasher is designed to flash too fast if it does not see a large enough load (if a bulb burns out). LEDs don't provide enough load. To fix, either put standard incandescent bulbs in it or add a load resistor.

For 2010 and newer trucks, if you register at http://www.toyota.com/owners/ , they will give you free online access to the owner's manual. Maybe they will do it for your truck, too.

 

imma hopefully get the entire plug from BFA, id like to keep it stock for now, then ill do special stuff. But thats exactly what i figured, load resistance. Toyota wont sell me just the plug assembly, so grrrr.

 

got the door handle on this morning, its not even 9am and its already 90 and its black which doesnt help at all.

 

mechanic friend is gonna do the more difficult work for cheap, i lack a tranny jack so im grateful, need to fix clutch, and fix engine lean so i can get it emissioned still. ugh.

 

just read on how to engage elocker, its a little finicky engaging/disengaging but works none the less i just feel sorry for my street.

suspension and clutch stuff ordered prob tomorrow.

 

Dude sweet on thagt elocker.. I wish I had one. If you want a hand with your suspension ill be down to help out

 

thx bro. should have a little tw bbq or something when we do it.

 

2 man team can knock that out in a few hours id say

 

so it looks like suspension wont be here till early week after next, we should do it, then go exploring cause that'll be everything on my list as far as major.
