I've been running a 180A DC Power alternator for about two years, and noticed that the lower adjusting bracket is cracked. The alternator never quite fit up perfectly to the adjuster bar. I had been following another 1st Gen Tacoma owner with the same issue HERE.... The case hasn't cracked...

Time to upgrade the rear suspension! I've narrowed my research down to the OME CS046R springs made by Dakar and the Wheeler's 5-leafs made by Alcan. Mostly looking for something that can handle some carrying capacity that will provide a mild 1-2" lift to boot. I do not want to install a...

Well, my aux battery setup is up and running- writeup and more pics to follow :cool: The aux battery is located in the front passenger side of the bed. Finding a good place to route the #2 AWG positive cable up and out of the way was a bit of a challenge with the boxed frame and all. Now I'm...

I posted this elsewhere, but didn't get too many responses. I was hooking up a couple relays to control on/off power to a CB and my stereo. When using a voltage meter to verify the correct ACC wire, I noticed that the ACC circuit is getting a very small amount of voltage with the ignition off...

My aux battery project is again underway after a year-long hiatus! Right now I'm in the process of connecting my stereo and CB. I want them to run on the Auxiliary battery power, but also turn on and off when the key is turned in the ignition. I'm also running a SPDT relay to override this...

I've been seeing threads out there on the Tacoma's tendency to have excessive frame flex- enough to cause the bed of the truck to hit the back of the cab. I'm wondering if having a fiberglass canopy could result in the front of the canopy also colliding with the rear of the cab and causing even...

Well, here it is. I've spent several weeks researching and thinking about how I want my next dual battery setup to be for my "new" 2002 Tacoma. I have yet to put together a parts list, but have a pretty good idea of what I will need and where to find it. Still I have questions.... Have a...

I'm looking for a way to switch my stereo between two power sources without interrupting the internal settings. I need to modify my electrical diagram and post it up, but in the meantime, was wondering if Toyota carries a stock switch that can select between two inputs into one output. For...

Hey I'm new to the boards here. Searched first, and posted this question in the 12v section, but no replies in the last couple weeks... Since it's Tacoma related, I thought to try here too. I just bought an '02 Tacoma 4X4, TRD package, ARE shell, 5-speed, with 50K miles. I'll try posting...

My first time posting here after doing some looking around the forums. Definitely pleased to see there's a dedicated board to aux power! So I got myself a truck I've been coveting for several years- a 2002 Tacoma extra cab, V6, 4wd, TRD package with 53K miles. Now, I installed an aux...
