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

Yea. I mean, they didn’t want to overnight me the new one but they let me keep the green bulb and they upped my shipping one tier for the other blue. I got some neo 3mm for the climate control and they lasted 2 months though. Not too happy about that.

 

ebay is your best friend for the basic T10 LEDs. I literally have a small box full of different colors. They're usually around 50c a pop if you buy 10-20 packs

 

My original Blue #194 LED’s in the dash are still going strong since 2016.
I have an unopened package of 4 if you need them?
I have 4 of these also. The Neo 4mm
pm me

 

Man I wish I would’ve known that like a week ago. Are the neo 4s you have this crappy grey plastic? The ones I have strip so easy

 

Yep. My LED’s are the same as yours. The stock ones definitely have more bite. That’s for sure. Kinda hard to see without opening a new package

 

X-post - My custom re-branding project: the Blanco Taco

 

Those of y'all who have had LSPV's fail... what were your symptoms?

 

I kinda dig it.

 

Bed cover, didn’t know how pricey this were!

 

I can’t remember what LED’s I got but all of the climate control lights and one in the dash are ded with another one otw

 

I calculated around 16 avg mpg, stock suspension/wheel/tire/drivetrain. 01 2.7 xtracab, Any tips to get better mileage? im not even driving like a maniac haha, i tend to be a bit slow. I mean like any common physical problems like an air filter or something else i might not know about. Im still learning for sure, and i definitely dont know alot.

 

FedEx showed up with another parts order (McGeorge rocks!). Have what I need to assemble two complete Manual Hub Knuckles.

jshift transfer case arrived however there is damage to one of the mounting bolt holes and the 4WD output shaft sounds funky (bearing maybe). Still working out if its usable or if its going to be dumped as parts. Seller refunded a huge chunk and it only cost me 35 bucks which included delivery. He would have done a complete refund but I wanted to see if it could be saved.

Have just 2 more pieces to track down - transmission and front diff.

 

This brings back levels of stress I don't wanna remember doing this myself

 

They transition from blue to green looks pretty legit

 

Which part, the rust repair or the leaf spring conversion... Or the shock relocate haha

 

2nd compressor is installed and functional. ✔️

Push off for Death Valley in the AM




No I'm not taking the chainsaw to the desert

 

Please share pictures of your adventure. I'm headed there early April.

 

This will end up being the one time a chainsaw is needed in the desert

 

Lmfao... now THAT would be my luck.

I'm cutting over Cerro Gordo, which hits 8000 ft. There are, actually, some trees up that way. And this is a pretty early trip. Snow just melted, not sure how many have been through.

It doesn't take up much room... nah... if some thing is in the way, I'll throw a strap and pull it out of the way.

I started second guessing.
