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

License plate

 

Round OBD2 gauge
Prototype install in clock mount area. Still a work in progress

 

Yesterday, I dropped it off at the body shop to get the dents under the rear window fixed. They have always done a good job.

I'm nearing the end of Phase I for this build.

This little truck has come a long way during the past 3 months.

 

Stop living in the past.

 

So new here! Had the 2002 tacoma for a week and mods are well under way, just finished the turn signal led switchback mod! Easy after seeing the write ups on here, painted front grill lower bumper, new headlights with led bulbs, new side marker housing with leds, will be getting rid of the chrome bumper later this week for a black one, new led pads for the interior, having issues with them not turning on when truck is off though.

 

I'll say nice to everything but the LED headlights

Welcome to TW!

 

I was just about to post that same link

 

So i have read some people not doing the led headlights, is the output not good? It seems to be a lot brighter, not as wide as I hoped but good enough?

 

For the sake of other drivers, please remove the LED headlights. Halogen reflectors arent meant for led bulbs and blind oncoming drivers.

You can use a higher output halogen bulb if you want brighter, whiter light thats easier on others' eyes. I use Phillips X-Treme Vision H4's and I am very satisfied.

 

Been running Sylvania SilverStar zXe since 2016 - actually surprised they have lasted this long (then again I don't have them on during the day).

$88 SYLVANIA - 9003 (HB2, H4) SilverStar zXe High Performance Halogen Headlight Bulb - Headlight & Fog Light, Bright White Light Output, HID Attitude, Xenon Fueled Technology (Contains 2 Bulbs)

Yeah I also read that the higher output bulbs dont last. Mine have been in for almost 2 years so . Ill gladly buy them again.

 

I finished rebuilding my Kings this morning.
They we're like this....

Now they're like this....

 

Steering rack mounting clamp: 123 ft/lbs
Steering rack vertical center mounting bolt: 123 ft/lbs
Steering rack horizontal mounting bolt: 141 ft/lbs

 

spot on...

 

You likely need a resistor on the dome light.

 

I dunno if I dare ask how much the rebuild Was

 

Access from the front - should have a little more room.

 

Are you planning to raid Area 51? I only as because your screen name is about spot on for it?

 

$270 for everything including new springs.
