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

Good work, that looks like it belongs there. Seen a lot of interior electronics on here that look like they were installed with the heel of a boot and no fucks given.

 

they did. you just have to install it yourself

 

so they had that option and expected you to install it yourself

 

no never a factory option. but all the stampings are there. just some holes to be drilled mostly and you can have a manual double cab.

 

It’s very rare, only if the original owner custom orders it, i lost out on one when I was in the market for a truck. It was a 1st gen double cab v6 4x4 Manuel. The lady said her husband works at Toyota and ordered it like that. I was poor and only had a pre approve loan and somebody came with cash...still mad about it.

 

Wheels tires, bumper, winch, lights, and more. Busy weekend. Gotta get out and get some good photos before a full reveal

 

It was never able to be ordered from Toyota. Toyota doesn't custom make vehicles for people...you can 'order' a vehicle from them so long as its a package that is offered but you can't ask them to make you a manual trans truck in a trim that its not offered in.

If by some miracle they did do it for the person you're talking about, it would have been a big favor to that person on behalf of Toyota. Which they certainly aren't going to do for just anyone.

Plenty of people right now want a DCLB manual trans TRD OR but Toyota doesn't offer that in the US. You can't just place an order for one, they'll tell you to pound sand.

There are a few on here with manual double cab 1st gens but they are all auto --> manual swaps.

I wish they offered it back then, IMO it was their one big mistake with the 1st gens...not offering a DC manual option.

 

they will tell me to pound sand when i order custom color because the color choices now on certain models is less than desirable

 

As long as it's a color they currently make in a trim they offer it in, you can order it. Assuming were taking about a new truck.

If you try and order a body panel like a fender for your 1st gen, that comes unpainted. When I was looking for a new fender they (parts dept) offered to paint it for me but the price was ridiculous.

 

well i guess i can finally say i did something to the tacoma today! kind of.

preped the 4runner test engine for me to remove the cams and get the 3vz-fe cams in it. if all goes well should have 3vz-fe cams in it tomorrow. A t-belt and gaskets sometime during the week. then i have to figure out how im going to run it.

 

Don't forget to take out those towels

 

do i look like tyler?

 

Crap, sorry I thought this was the Lunchtable haha. Was going between the two threads, carry on.

 

i posted it in the lunchtable too since yall saying im moving too slow made me go out in the garage and pull this bitch apart! lol

 

Mine is

 

Was driving it last night and the abs light came on... now when I hit my brakes my turn signals light up on all four corners, even the arrow indicators on the dash light up. When I use my turn signal and brake my third brake light flashes and indicators hyperflash. All bulbs are good. I don't know where to start looking any help is appreciated thanks

 

Got a trailer brake converter? They go bad and do these kind of Things a lot

 

Yea I have one , I installed it last year. I needed it to tow my boat. Is there a brand that works better than others or is it hit and miss. Thanks again
