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

I've had both of mine replaced in the last 6 months. Hopefully I'll never have to have them done again! Have fun!

 

Question is why did it overload and fry it?

 

Put some shoes on before you change that axle seal.

 

@m3bassman it's pic time

 

Retros installed:

 

Is there something supposed to be attached to the door??




And my mod today.........

Nitecore MH20 1000lumens with USB charger mounted with quickfist.

 

Anybody have a pic or part number the plastic cover for behind the seat on a single cab Tacoma

 

Cost about $305 after 20% off for TW group buy. Yes, grey interior. I'm very pleased.

We're do you think I can find one

 

thats about what mine looked like, I guess if you were really cheap you could sand off the contacts and you would be ok for a while...but i just bought a new one and replaced it.

i got a cheapo from ebay, works just fine...

Junk yard.
Were are you located and what year Taco.

 

I rolled my truck over the weekend...








There will be more pictures to come, but I want to put out a feeler now. I need a cab and if possible a bed. Even willing to buy a donor truck if the price is right.

 

Good to see you're ok. Hope you find a donor or you could always get a 3rd gen

 

Thanks, I'm happy to be alive for sure. Really prefer the simplicity and reliability of the old first gen. Also the first gens are cheaper haha

 

I decided I want to ditch my crappy stock bucket seats and upgrade to something nicer. I found a nice set of black leather seats out of a Lexus ES300, they're heated and have full power adjustments. I didn't want to destroy my existing seats so I picked up an ungodly set of 60/40 bench seats out of a '95 Tacoma and ripped them apart to take the seat rails. My plan is to weld the Lexus seat rails to the Tacoma seat rails. The Lexus seats do not tilt forward like the stock ones do so if possible I want to keep the Tacoma sliding mechanism intact.

Now I have to figure out how to wire all of up. I wonder what's a good spot to put the heated seat buttons. I have to be careful since the driver's seat has an airbag, if I connect the wrong wire to 12v I'll deploy the bag and destroy the chair. I don't think there's an easy way to remove the airbag.

Anyone know where I can find the FSM for a Lexus ES300? The reason I went with these seats is because they're comfy and manufactured by Toyota. Might as well keep the truck as close to Toyota as possible.

If you're willing to drive down to Cali there's an Extended Cab '95 at my local P&P. It had some front end damage but the rest of the body is fine.

Glad ya made it out okay.
