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

That is on the list once I get a DD, so I can just leave it in the garage and work on it over the course of a few weekends.

Damn she fat! (in a good way )

I wouldn't bother with any color changes on the shifter light because the filters on the indicators will warp the color anyways, just go with white.

 

ok... led running lights. is that 1157?

 

I'm gunna find you a link to everything you'll wanna know here on TW. I should probably tell you to use the search tool, but I'm in a good mood

 

if it makes you feel any better i did search for the gear shifter light on here. i found it i think. the guy at advance is a dick of all sorts so i was trying to figure it out. im sorry. i dont usually ask all these questions.

I think this covers most of it in the OP, and 74s are mentioned in the following posts.

A good spray on rust prevention for the underside of all this new plating? Truck doesn't see water often, but like to blast it with the pressure washer after a few off road trips.

edit:
Found this stuff. I'll brush it on.

New brake pads. The indicators on the old ones have been squealing for several months; I just never get time to do it. Today I came home from work earlier and decided to do it. I actually forgot how easy these are since they just slide in from the front. All my other vehicles I have to remove the callippers.

 

Easy? I guess they could be if the caliper pins would come out. Both of mine were seized in. A few methods later, and all I wound up with was pins that had flattened heads that, even if they would finally come out, they couldn't
So new calipers it was.

 

Question: Do you all use shims on the brake pads? Some say it is not needed and some say it is. My previous set had 2 shims on each pad.

 

I would have, but the pads I got (EBC greenstuff) had some sort of pseudo-shim built in and they explicitly say not to use shims with their pads. If the pads come with them, I would suggest using them.
