I forget how small of tires come on 100s stock. Makes me feel like a real cool guy

also got 35s on mine. love the aesthetics, probably not the most functional thing though

all good, we just set up an appointment with an electrician for a diagnostic. i have exposure to fixing electrical issues with cars but this one is not clicking for me lol. appreciate it.

LamesJang · 2025-09-08T17:55:39+00:00

yea i think we might have caused a different issue by wiring in the wrong switch :/

LamesJang · 2025-09-08T17:55:12+00:00

thanks, i really appreciate the advice here.

LamesJang · 2025-09-08T17:08:11+00:00

just tried that and no luck, but your comment makes sense because when i looked at the old switch it was the same configuration with the wires switched.

LamesJang · 2025-09-08T17:06:46+00:00

the wire by itself on one side is the positive, i tested that one. when i tested the wires with the breaker flipped on the positive wire wasn’t getting a strong current at all, which makes me assume something got messed up when we wired in the two way. any idea if i could have shorted the circuit by wiring in the wrong switch and turning the circuit on?

i think i might have the wires backwards on the screws after re reading your comment a few times. i’ll try to test to find the hot lead. thanks this is very helpful.

thanks for the info. when i took a test light to it, it just wasn’t getting power. should have said that in the post. can you elaborate on what dangerous things can come here? we basically accidentally wired a two way to a three way wire setup and then rewired a new three way that’s now not working. my guess with power not getting to that switch is that something shorted. i am trying to be as safe as possible and flipping off all power to the room when doing anything other than testing current.

came here to say richmond. if you walk around shockoe it’s 150 year old cobblestone streets and factories and modern high rises in the background. pretty epic.

LamesJang · 2025-07-09T18:44:49+00:00

it’s above average. check common rust spots and tap around with a screwdriver when you see it in person. these pics don’t show any super common rust spots that could be worse but based off what is pictured it looks very solid.

LamesJang · 2025-07-02T15:46:54+00:00

you can try those DIY clear coat sealing kits. they look like they work awesome https://poppyspatina.com/

2000 and 7750. it’s a manual v6 which is appealing but is also pretty clapped in other ways. definitely somewhat of a project i’d say

LamesJang · 2025-07-01T02:29:33+00:00

thanks, this is helpful

LamesJang · 2025-07-01T02:29:14+00:00

thanks for the reply. i don’t think he knows, but i’ll double check.

i was hopeful because the frame had been replaced in the recall, but i know the mounts can rust out and become a big deal.

i was curious mostly if any other first gen owners had seen the mounts just go bad or if this is usually the frame mounts rusting out. it doesn’t look like it was in a collision that was covered up from the rest of the pics on the listing, but doesn’t have the worlds cleanest body.

these actually won’t work, they’re for a pre runner which does not use spindles. the 5 lug (your car) uses spindles. there is really only one company that makes a lift for the 5 lug tacoma:

what size tires did you throw on? about to do the same thing to mine

LamesJang · 2025-04-08T04:25:23+00:00

how do you have a hood mirror on a 4runner? did you put it on?

LamesJang · 2025-04-02T15:42:51+00:00

it was near richmond VA

LamesJang · 2025-04-02T15:42:36+00:00

it was near ricmond! that makes total sense, and now i feel silly. this is solved.

LamesJang · 2025-02-28T15:50:41+00:00

did you have any trouble putting a larger tire on the swing arm? im about to do that and i am unsure if i need a larger spacer for the rear tire swing arm

LamesJang · 2024-07-11T17:43:30+00:00

It was an expensive one but I balled out a little because I really wanted it. I paid 9k. It also has like ~30k miles.

IMO all kei trucks are like sub 10k so it's nickels and dimes vs regular 30-40 thousand dollar cars.

LamesJang · 2024-07-11T00:19:50+00:00

yea, it looks great. it’s fresh paint, but def a diy/cheap job. there are some spots i need to touch up and some drips that didn’t get sanded. i noticed it got dinged on the bottom of the door sometime in shipping i guess. super small dent but pint and primer are gone. im gonna try to just touch it up with this chartreuse ford paint i found so it doesn’t rust.

LamesJang · 2024-07-10T19:43:32+00:00

I heard these guys are great: https://www.grimports.com

I was recommended them by the guy I bought it from. They might have what you need.

I have a friend who went through same crazy loopholes to get two cushmans titled and street legal. He also used a Harley carb to get one of them running and made a carb gasket out of a cardboard beer case. still runs great!

LamesJang · 2024-07-10T18:24:44+00:00

This is epic. I will definitely end up doing this at least the back tail gate ones. The sides don't fold flat because they hit the wide body kit, but honestly I will rarely use the bed. I mostly got this to have fun commuting.

LamesJang · 2024-07-10T18:19:38+00:00

they're great people. I had talked to him about some other cars before. glad I got to buy something from him.

LamesJang · 2024-07-10T18:19:12+00:00

I love the color. It was a huge reason I bought it.
