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

on my last Tacoma i did the dome light in a led. it would not work correctly unless i had the key in the ignition on the acc. i was told that i needed to add a resistor?? any infor on this i am about to do it to the tacoma i have now


ps. this is not justin i am jacob i bought his truck i will be making my own sn soon

 

I added a 12-Led dome light bulb and I have no issues w the key on or off.

The fucker's bright! Love it! much nice light than the incandescent.

 

Changed out my rear OEM bumper (chrome) for a black one...until I can afford a aftermarket rear! My funds are currently recovering from rims/tires and relentless front bumper.

 

Drove it to Lowe's and listened to the blower motor squeak the whole time.

 

Ordered an ultra gauge finally

 

Mine's been doing it for a year. I just pulled it and sprayed some lube in the general direction of the bearing, under the little hatch thing. We will see what it does. $113 for a new one from the dealer, cheaper for an aftermarket motor,/ but I cannot get the fan blades off.

 

Comes out easy enough, just 3 screws under the dash. Pull it out and clean it.

 

Are you talking about the fan blade? it has 4 little 12mm or 13mm nuts on the rad side of it. Expect some bleeding knuckles

 

Not the engine fan, the blower motor fan for the HVAC. Thanks though.

 

Ah. Mine was probly done already

 

Installed my anti theft system :

 

Anti carjacking mod. Doesnt really prevent theft if you arent in it.

 

Yeah, IMO that actually increases the chance of theft since (while not it's not directly in the open) a potential thief might want that nice lookin gun to go commit a crime with...... :rollseyes: But it looks kinda cool and definately will help preventing carjacking if you're in there! lol

When I get a .45 in a year or so, I'll be putting it under the seat or somewhere concealed (yet still very accessable). That's just me though.....

 

That's a good point. Even seeing the holster might tempt someone to break in and investigate further.

 

I'm going to put mine in the back of my pants and shoot it McLovin style from the movie superbad.

 

Well last night a blizzard was going on and it wasn't going to stop me from wheeling. I drove over 200 miles in the stupid storm passing dumbass idiots doing only 20 or 30. GTFO of my way, bitches.

Snow was pretty deep for the roads and HAULING my toy around... but the 2nd gen DOMINATED.




Anyway here are some wheeling pictures!!

 

Where's your front bumper?

 

He's selling it... I think he's custom making another one himself.

 

your build thread was the deciding factor in my purchase

 

Tires won't fit without rubbing on it anymore. Don't wanna cut it since it can be of use to someone else.
