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

Yeah but wasnt this one like $170 not $60??

 

That is sweet. I found a place to click order the whole kit in case there is no group buy soon. They have them with or without the relays.

Question: So I think I just need a few fuses right now but what kind of application would I need the relays for? Is that for different kinds of multi-pole throws or something to do with throwing higher amperage connections?

 

@Blackdawg told me its a good idea to just have everything on a relay. But im pretty sure its for sending power to higher amperage things, were the switch itself cant handle that many amps, so its just used to signal the relay.

 

You use a relay so you don't run the full amp draw of the component you are powering thru a switch inside your cab. Lights and such can have a significant power draw. You power the relay under the hood instead then activate the relay with a single small ga wire thru the firewall to the switch on your dash.

 

I dont think it was that much but I didn't want to assemble it. However, I would like to tackle this project by myself now

 

Same here who ever gets out there first is the winner lol

 

bingo.

Use relays. much safer.

 

Someone on here used the stuff in the link below, 3/32 should work great.

Yeah, that is what I did when I changed pads on my RX-7.
Pump until till solid, check, pump until sold, check.
It took a while, you just need to keep the fluid reservoir topped off.

 

Not sure this would hold up to any small impact in the cold. I would think you would have to heat mold these as well? I could be wrong.

 

yeah same here, I have a few trails I could open up for my atv but if I do that everyone and their brother will be using them...so I opt to keep the trees to block the road...that way it deters the lazy from walking down them

 

Thanks man that is exactly what I was looking for.

Edit: Also found these reusable clips to make it easier to remove the panels. They are the same diameter as OEM to fit the 8mm holes.

 

This is what I used. it's worked great for about a year now, from below freezing to death valley.

 

I hate not having my aprons. Previous owner tossed them when he did the body lift. Ive been putting off doing this since I took the lift out

 

I've had these on for 2 yrs and the work well for a fraction of the $110 price you got.

Hmmm I might want spots though too. I don't know yet

 

Can you find the lux output for these?

 

What's lux again I forgot? I know blackdawg just explained it some pages back.

 

The amount of light needed to read something. So the higher the lux is how far away from the light you can be and still be able to read something. Or that's how I remember it...

 

Yea yea that's what it was
