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

You can find manual large 01-04 mirrors on RockAuto just look up an 02 tacoma and go to the Body section.

 

I can find them. I just don't want power or heat. Their like $60 a pair on ebay.....just don't want the extra BS I can't use......

 

I said manual... Here's a link, fully manual no heat or anything

Are these the bigger ones?

3rd generation I believe, it was from a scrap yard

 

Those look like $50 a piece too. I can get a pair of powers for $60.

 

I am working at a customer house and I find this in the back yard

 

Then do that, just be aware when you push the mirror into place it will be fighting a worm gear and may break and might not adjust perfectly to your liking. They are a safety item, but you still get what you pay for so eBay may not be the best source.

 

@j0shu4 the eBay link you posted are the smaller ones too, they adjust by a joystick that goes through the door pillar

 

Yeah that's what I thought. Their not quite as small as the 96-00 ones. Seems like 3 different sizes I've seen. That's one of my worries too with the power ones was if they will go into place safely and stay there......

 

Has anyone tried to retrofit 2015 side view mirror assemblies on a 1st Gen?
I'm thinking about trying this because I would like the integrated turn signal and I like the look of the newer mirrors. Even if the attaching mirror arm doesn't fit, I would think that you could swap out the 1st Gen attaching arm with the new one and have it fit no problem.

 

That would be cool. Doubting it's doable with fitment......

Found these manual ones for $40 a piece.....bigger size.....

Worst experience of my life with iJDMTOY. Received a previously used LED light bar with scratches. Was not as bright as I was led to believe. Returned unit and did not hear from them for 2 weeks. Once I reached out to them they said they would not refund my money as the unit had dirt on it! Haha not a professional company, not willing to work out issues, not willing to keep their customers happy. I would discourage anyone from buying from them as you can get a much better bar from Cali raised for a bit more money and get great service. This company is a joke. They claim to be one of the largest companies in the US that provides LED lights for trucks. Nothing but issues with them, still fighting with them to get my money back. Filled complaint with BBB.

 

@j0shu4 I think I might still have my larger, manual 04 mirrors out in the garage someplace. Ill take a look when i get home.

 

Hey guys any chance anyone can dig up a part number for the rubber boot that protects where the hard line meets the rubber hose for the brakes ? Should be 3 (2 in front 1 in rear) asked camelback and they can't seem to find it . I have a 01 4x4 frame on my 97 if that makes any difference

 

@Robmonster117 @mechanicjon

Is this the same kit without painted calipers for $276?

FRONT OE [2] Calipers + [2] Drilled/Slotted Rotors + Quiet Low Dust [4] Ceramic Pads Kit

Callahan CCK11208 FRONT OE [2] Calipers + [2] Drilled/Slotted Rotors + Quiet Low Dust [4] Ceramic Pads Kit

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01ES3CVCY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_M9DYyb3A53JY8

 

It sure looks like it. Description says 13WL casting for the calipers so it should be the same

 

pretty good price on some ss brake lines on autoanything.com

 

Thanks for the input. Went with the $320 kit..can't wait. Still have my stock rotors with 120k on them. Hopefully this feels like a night and day difference.
