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

that is clean

 

I want to do this and tie the O/D and ECT power into the wheel.

 

3rd pedal master race here. I just jb welded the backside of the buttons and gave them a nice coat of satin paint. They look and feel like a factory switch blank. And if I ever wanted to add something, the switches can easily be swapped from a junkyard.

 

Careful, theres only like 3 years of Rav4 that work. I got mine out of an 02. I know by 04 they had a different bag.

But the Celica had the same wheel and bag setup, just with perforated leather. Looks kinda cheesy imo.

 

I hate you people, just bought a steering wheel, drivers air bag and steering column plastic.

 

Careful though, being a pre 01 you may need the clockspring too. And the cruise control I dont think will work without some modification. @Speedytech7 and @BartMaster1234 can point you in a better direction then me.

 

@mechanicjon did a bunch of work on steering wheel swaps (for audio controls I believe), may have some general info on clock spring compatibility as well.

 

5,340 on the scale at our recycling center. I must be full grown hog!!

 

A bit of a stretch for “today” as it has taken me about a month to do but finally finished up my rear bumper today. Dual swing out with 3/4 heims one spare tire carrier and one dual Jerry can holder/ extra storage.

 

Truck looks great man - super clean! I have the same truck with a manual transmission and I’m getting everything lined up for a similar lift/wheel/tire setup. Do you recall which aftermarket headlights and corners you went with? There are so many similar versions available online it would be great to nail down a reputable version.

 

When you swap to the is300 wheel do you have to also get the 4Runner column pieces? There must be a gap?

 

If the cruise doesn't work right. It may require the resistors changed in the switch. This is one i just did for another TW member. He did the steering wheel upgrade to radio controls.
Just compare resistance values if each switch function. Set,cancel, resume etc.

 

No. Actually the 4Runner trim is exactly the same as the stock Taco trim, only black. No gap.

 

I will let you know if I need any assistance.

 

Got it. Seen a few guys do this swap and I’m really starting to dig it. Wanting it for my truck.

Edit: what about the horn?? Still work?

 

The 01-04 is complete plug and play. Horn and cruise will work fine. The pre 01 trucks will have problems with the cruise control. Horn Im not sure about.

 

I have a 98 is why I’m asking. Could care less about cruise I’ve never used it. What’s a good price on these wheels?

 

Great idea! Awesome. You got to have a way to keep those Jerry cans out with the spare.

 

I have a 98 as well, curious as to what needs to be done to make this work.

 

Mine came out of the junkyard for $16. I paid another $20ish for a shoe repair guy to refresh the leather and redye it. Then another $20 for the Rav4 airbag. Had to hunt for that as no junkyard near me sells airbags ever since the big Takata recall thing from a few years back.
