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

Turbo it to keep them mpgees!

 

You didnt want to wire it into the door circuit? So it goes on when the door is opened, then off when you put the key in? Kinda like it wouldve come from the factory.

 

So can I get your guys opinion on a matter. I might have made a poor purchase. So I bought some rims that are 17 x 9 with a -38 offset. If the online calculator is correct that will push them out about 2" further that what I'm running now and 1" further that a 8x16 with a -25 offset.
I was hoping to run a 285 70 17 . Will I even be able to turn the tires? I know I'm going to have to trim but I'm not sure if itll be worth it for the amount I'll have to trim for it to fit.
Thoughts ?? Anyone else running 33's with a big offset rim?

 

Where you get the key ring light?

 

I am also having a clicking noise coming from the front, but its mainly on small bumps. I also have clicking coming from the rear and sounds like the leaf springs. Although 3 weeks ago i replaced the carrier bearing.

 

This one came out of a 97 runner

I haven’t tried yet but I think mine should dim too. I’ll find out today.

 

I’m not tracking what you mean when you say the “bolt on part and the wings for the press”. I pressed everything off bc if you do it that way you can reuse the retainers and ABS tone rings.

 

Has anyone put 6x9s in the doors?

Crutchfield says 6.5 and 6x8 will work... says 6x9 wont. I have fit 6x9 where they weren't supposed to fit before, just wondering if anyone has done it before I start ripping door panels off to see for myself.

 

Exactly what I did a couple of weeks ago. Just forgot to post about it. Dome light circuit FTW.

 

Anyone have any idea why when you crank the truck up the dash has a little rattle to it but if you put your hand on it the rattle stops. Can’t seem to locate the problem

 

Supercharger question for those who know 1st gen superchargers.
Will a 97 /3400 supercharger fit on 2004 /3400? Pic below is the 97. Sorry such a noob question I would just guess yes?

 

Yes it's mounts the same.

 

Thanks!! Awesome
Found a low mileage 97 supercharged lx I might buy it swap out the charger and have a new daily driver.

 

Nice! 97 is the best year Imo.

The biggest issue you'll have with that plan is the intake might be different on your 2004 vs the 97 stock one which requires a lot more vacuum line connections. But probably just have stuff capped or something

 

5 gold star dam better get on it thanks for the heads up on the vac.

 

So I determined that a first gen Tacoma can use an AJT key fob case. My 04 came with two RS3200/
BAB237131-056 red light key fobs. One is absolutely trashed and another is still in plastic untouched.

I decided to buy a replacement aftermarket that was modeled after a first gen Tundra key fob. It’s gasket inside is black instead of red and the buttons are hard vs soft. But it syncs up to my Tacoma fine. Then I bought the AJT design Tundra case and put the fob internals in it. Not too interesting but my plan to do steering rack bushings was ruined by rain today.

 

Went for a ride in the Rhode Island woods.

 

Who's from Georgia. I'm seriously thinking about packing up my shit and moving out of California within the next year or so. Have a good friend that lives in kingsland and debating moving out there

 

Don't do it bro... California sucks! Move to Reno, to get close, but you don't want to live here.

 

Say good bye to any good offroading. I wouldn't move that far east
