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

So that I could have his Apex bumper

Not really, but I did buy his old bumper

 

I didn't like the tiny skids, and a few other reasons. But mostly the skids. Ive come close to banging my cam bolt on too many rocks. Plus I really liked the look of the bumper and a good deal popped up and I pulled the trigger

 

Nice, new setup looks good.

 

Detailed the trucks interior all day. Now it’s nice and clean how I like it.

 

Realized my AC doesn’t work on anything last blower motor setting 2, do the 1st gens have he same problems as 2nd gens?

 

probably just a bad resistor

 

Nothing fancy, but I put in my $8.00 salvage yard scrounge cup holder. $7.00 hinge (18" hinge, cut a short piece off it) and $1.00 for cup holder and storage box. Salvage yard guy was feeling generous and wrote it as "miscellaneous" instead of other more expensive descr like "console" or "cupholder" which would have been at least $5.00 each. Pays to be a frequent flyer.

Worked out good. Doesn't interfere with armrest or shifters and places my hand right at the drink when resting my arm on the armrest.

I still need to bolt or screw it to the floor. Ground was wet and I was working outside. Need to get under there and check clearance before I got shooting a drill bit through the floor. Just weighted it down with my manual lookout tool to hold it in place. Also I will replace the tape with some silicone caulk when the weather warms up.

 

I really also hope those wire nuts are temporary too lol

 

At least it's better than finger twist and wrap electrical tape around it
I imagine it was his testing stuff, positioning, etc...

 

Yeah, it was cold as , well you know, and I just wanted to see if it was going to be too big, bad position, ugly, etc. The ugly part is debatable, but for the price...
I didn't even wash the junkyard dirt out of the storage box yet. I want to use it a week or two and see if it works out before I finalize everything.

 

Hell yeah you sent it

 

Looks like a very fun obstacle.

 

That's a triple head roller!

 

You guys always make my day with some of the stuff y’all post.

 

THAT is a shot for the 2021 TW Calendar!

 

Its holding up alright. Lol. I hate electrical stuff

 

My kids runner gave birth to a Steering rack...



We did up the replacement rack with Energy Suspension bushings. And will be installing today.



Also pulled the LCAs and installed Whiteline Bushings while we were in there.

 

Did you use the factory wiring? was there any additional modifications required?

 

Ok I see the ground wire in you previous picture now. Thank you.
