What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

[gamefreakgc]

Should have said I replaced it already with an oem bushing. It did seem like it got rid of some body roll As you said. But I still have a creaking sound when going over bumpy trails it's not bad but I like my runner not making funny sounds.

Oh, gotcha. Yeah the rest of the creaks are probably the coil springs then. Sometimes new mounts will help eliminate some noise, but it's not a sure fire thing. Hard to find those noised when they only happen when driving!

2002 Limited Climate Control

Tonight I successfully repaired the climate control in my 2002 and replaced the burned out bulbs with LEDs from superbrightleds.

Just used a fine tipped soldering iron, some flux, and very little solder to re-flow all of the through hole solder connections on the board. So happy this thing works now without having to mash on the buttons. Now let's hope it keeps working.

Yes, and the dress up kit is more than enough. Some of my OE lines were so hard from age I had to cut/crack them off, was like snapping a pretzel stick in half.

Really its enough for all the lines? If it is I am gonna order today. How much was it? The shop kit was like ~$50 if I remember right.

Will be working on doing this for the next couple days. I'm a slow painter...

B&M 70268 (bypass) and twin sensors for the AutoMeter 2640.

I'm just waiting for my On/On toggle switch to come in so I can finish the install, so for now I just hooked up the Send line Temp Sensor. Took the rig for a little drive. It's 68 degrees out, trans temp never went above 160, but the needle mostly stayed around 145 degrees once everything warmed up.

Came back home, checked for leaks, checked the fluid level... all is good it seems.

I also took the Toyota Bug Shield off the hood. I'm surprised to see how good the hood looks (I had never looked behind the bug shield before, it was installed by the previous owner)

The only issue now is that I snapped all three front bolts for the Skid Plate, so it'll be a little while before I put those back on (have to drill out the old bolts and use something else). But that'll also give me time to clean up the skids and repaint them. They are beat to hell.

Out with the old and in with the new...

That Tacoma is bad ass, so is your rig by the way. Wife is making me buy her a Tacoma Double Cab. She wants the sport, I want the TRD, its an uphill battle for me. Trying to convince her I can get the hood later and get the TRD. LOL. Not working out so well.

Hell no. 6600lb empty 8000+ wet and loaded. We got 5.4l Ford Expedition that pulls it pretty easy.

Well, after fighting the winch install, it's all mounted up. Going to have to relocate the control box, would have to cut a large chunk of grill to get it to fit where it is now.

After soaking bolts in PB blaster and introducing heat I was able to get a crappy bull bar removed that was causing more damage than anything else. Also replaced front brake pads with OE ceramic ones and bled lines.
