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

I have the same ones. Comes with turns but not reverse bulbs. FYI the instructions it came with were wrong on the reverse bulb size.

 

was the reverse bulb a different size than stock??

 

Thats kinda cool how it matches the paint

 

No. I don’t think so. I believe it’s the same size as the blinker though.

Directions said to use whatever goes in the side markers/tag lights. Spent the cash on LEDs and they were wrong. eBay seller offered to give me their cheap no name LEDs. I declined and just bought the correct size in LEDs.

 

more important to see ahead of you rather then behind

 

Hey folks I have oil blow to super charger, checked pcv valve good, no vacuum leaks any ideas

 

Sorry oil blow by.

 

Are you sure? No possibility of bad valve stem seals?

 

Question.

Are 99 3rz spindles compatible with 01 Tacomas? It's a 6lug according to the description. From looking at Toyota parts they are interchangable. Thanks

 

The 22RE was never used in a truck past 1995

 

That's what the dude on the Craigslist posting said, I've got no idea about engine years.

Thats a 3RZ. Dude doesnt know what hes got.

 

Are the spindles the same?

 

Id think so provided one isnt manual hubs. But dont take my word for it.

 

New snorkel. eBay special. Pretty nice though.

 

Got the spark plug issue fixed yesterday and changed the oil today

 

It holds up well, mines about 2 years old now. No issues with it at all

 

Yes they should be. Spindles are the same 98-04 afaik. Other than manual vs ADD. I have a set of 01 ADD spindles to go on my truck when I swap from manual hub ones.

 

I think the ABS ones have the little bracket for the ABS line too but not a big deal either way

 

Did several minor jobs today. Changed the tap that I was using to trigger several of my relays for various lights and such. I found that the top left fuse inside the cab (which isn't used, at least in my version) was a switched power source, so I moved that tap in from under the hood. I had tapped into the A/C circuit out there, and if the A/C was off (almost never in my vehicle), it shut down those various devices.

Also dabbed a bit of clear silicone on a couple of small gouges that I did to my bedliner paint job, when putting everything back together.

Also began investigating whether seat belts can be swapped from side to side. It certainly appears that it is possible. I didn't proceed, as you must unhook the battery before messing with the wiring for the SRS tensioner. Since I am heading over for a state inspection in the next few days, I didn't want to fail because I had unhooked the battery. More to come on this!
