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

Sexy! Look clean! I like our green taco’s versus the new army green. Classic look.

 

I think it may be 82711-12A70 based on this https://www.fjcruiserforums.com/threads/wiring-harness-clip-part-scavenger-hunt.748762/

You could also try 82711-12200 based on this I found on google https://www.buyautosupply.com/products/bas01770-toyota-style-oval-hole-cable-tie-15711pk.html ,

$17 A Plus Parts House Cable Straps Length 170mm Width 7mm Compatible with Toyota 82711-12200 (25pc)

I'm not saying I know either will work for sure, but hopefully this helps you find a rabbit hole that has the answer at the bottom.

 

You could also try punching 82711 into McGeorge and see if any of those clips look like what you need.

 

Goddamn I love this place. Thank you, truly. A lot. I had called around and the dealer parts folks were clueless. This is extremely helpful, thank you sir.

 

It may not be a big thing for most, but for a guy that didn't grow up wrenching on vehicles, this is a big deal.

Successfully changed out my upper and lower ball joints and installed a new strut assembly (5100's w/ wheelers could) on one side today.

Up next is the other side, then steering rack bushings, and tie rods (both inner and outer). Followed by an alignment then well deserved lake time.

Open thanks to everyone on here. Can't count how many times I've been on the forums figuring this stuff out as I go.

 

You are in good company, keep it up. Aside from minor motorcycle repair/maintenance, my truck is the first car I did real work to minus oil changes/ changing a fuel pump once. The more you do, the more you feel comfortable tackling bigger projects. The money saved and knowledge learned is worth its weight in gold.

 

It snowballs too, I've worked on all sorts of things I never thought I would after starting with my first Tacoma. This place gave me an excellent starting point.

 

See

Agree!

I've already taken on a kayak trailer project that's been a blast as well. Putting new springs on it later this summer

 

Great work! Feels good don't it?

 

Very.

 

Todays' mod: replaced the crappy 60 seat of my 60/40 bench in my 1996 Taco. Installed a driver's bucket seat from a 2002 Taco that was both surprisingly cheap and in excellent condition. A really nice upgrade

 

End of an era. No more rtt. Needs a bath as it wears KoH dust still.

 

New rig?
Overlanding with current gas prices

 

Premium was feeling too cheap so we are upgrading.

 

Find a farm friend and register it as a farm vehicle

red better than green anyway

 

Was just hosing down the LBJs and tie rod end castlenut with PB blaster, found my passenger sway bar link has been snapped like a twig for who knows how long. Anybody have a rec for a beefy aftermarket option (maybe even quick-disconnect) or is OEM the answer as usual?

 

Sway bar delete

 

Hey I'm already halfway there!

 

I wasn't gonna, and then the parts that hold mine on were rusted beyond help. That was in november... Its tipsy, but its not as bad as I thought it would be.

 

Red dye diesel is too cheap too. Don't you get it!?
