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

The amount of effort id had to put into cleaning it and such it didn't seem to appealing today.

Really the reason for frustration is when I was messin around in the engine bay I found two different wires that the PO must of wired up. I tried to follow them and they don't get anywhere, one was spliced into something. I don't know if those wires are shorting out or something causing shiz to go out.

 

Struts? Steering Rack Bushings?

 

I've got icons up front.... they need rebuilt though. Rack bushings are stock I'm pretty sure. Don't you check they by going full lock on the wheel and see if the rack moves....cause it didn't.

 

Posted in TRS group buy thread but thought I would try here as well. Really need some help.

Ok guys I'm having alot of trouble....

I had a driver go bad and had TRS send me 3 so far and none of them work. Passenger side, drivers side still functions fine. I have confirmed the passenger side halo is still working by unplugging the drivers side halo driver and using jumpers to run to the passenger side. The passenger side halo DOES TURN ON WHEN I DO THIS.

I have ran all three drivers directly to the battery and plug them into the halo and nothing happens. That halos are getting power as I tested it with a testlight.

Idk what to do.... did they change theredrivers? My halos are AMBER ONLY. I now have them rigged up on xchange drivers so they turn off when the headlights are on. They both worked fine when I did this. The x change driver I had rigged with using the halo driver that had a black and red on one end, then a black, yellow and white onthe other. The black yellow and white matched up with the xchange driver wires. TRS has only sent me drivers with red and black on both sides.....they said it will still work with the xchange....I don't see how though.

 

You answered your own question. Simple as that.

That was easy.

 

Haha well wasn't for sure if there was something else to do with it too. Thanks.

 

Question because of you signature...do you pull that fifth wheel with your tacoma?

 

Dude...

This is what it's like having a "badass" tacoma that everyone wants....



You're constantly working on it.

Get used to it. It's an old truck

Did I mention I'm going wheeling tomorrow

 

Monte get real no one wants yo junk.

 

monte you worked on your truck so much im suprised you dont live in it lol

 

A few weekends of fun to every couple weeks of garage time. Its the price we pay

 

Get wheelers 4 packs or 5 packs.

Personally I think 880 and 5 packs would be good. OME shocks.


I know you said that coil over are a "waste" for you but Id think again.

I have kings up front amen ox shocks in back with wheelers 8 packs, which are a bit stiff without some weight. But otherwise is great. Hardly any lift I think.

 

I....














Yea I know..haha

 

Say waaa?

 

Fucking auto correct.

 

I'd take parts though, when you parting out the Lt?

 

its ok monte, i love frank. i hope with your build thread and several others my truck would at least hold a flashlight to yours lol though im going to need more light bars lol

 

NEEEEEVVVVAAAAAA!!!!

It'll all go on Igor before I sell it

Only takes time.



Lots...and lots of time...











And money...shit loads...




Plenty of blood tons of sweat and some tears..



And obsession.

Then it'll get there!

Ha.... true

This is different though..I'm stumped.

 

oh she'll get there.......eventually need to stay focused though lol

and what all did you do beside get a S/C for frank? i remember last year you told me it only takes a good solid weekend to install the bolt on S/C

 

Yea that's what I read. Taking me longer though.

I've also Don new roof rails and led bars. Still haven't wired them though. Redoing aprs setup too though that will be the fall now.
