What have you done to your 1st gen Tundra today?

Nice station wagon.

 

I roll out the red carpet for wagons, but crossovers arent allowed to merge.

is it not where this nerd says it should be?

 

That's the RS3000. He has the RS3200. Both the system and procedure are wildly different.

EDIT, from megathread:

• For OEM keyless/security, earlier trucks used Toyota's RS3000 alarm/keyless system, which had a limit of 4 simultaneously programmed remotes, and providing no warnings if you wanted to program a 5th fob. Later models used the RS3200 system. RS3000 is a bitch to program. RS3200 is much easier, but some Double Cab and potentially Sequoia used immobilizer keys, and a different programming process than you may find elsewhere online. RS3000 and RS3200 remotes ARE NOT interchangeable. Manuals for the RS3000 and RS3200 systems can be found here, and the 'special' programming instructions for some Double Cab found here. Always enter programming mode to 'clear' all previously programmed remotes before trying to add new ones, so you don't hit the 4 remote control limit! You can absolutely program new remotes on your own, there's a thread about RS3000 units here (since it's so difficult but read the whole thread), RS3200 programming is here.

 

That's cool. I didnt know that I could remove the AC part so easily. I already said fuck the antenna and buttoned everything back up. I might fuck with it again tomorrow. But I have an rs3200, he had an rs3000. Not sure if that would make a difference. I know on the Tacomas some were under the driver seat, and some like mine, were behind the driver kick panel.

 

I threw my new MHSL light on it. Here are some pics.
The old and burnt unit.


The new hotness.


The new hotness's brake function.



Here is the reflection of the white LEDs. This part of the light should have been installed upside down I think to reflect the light more downward toward the bed instead of straight back and up somewhat. As you can see from the pic, I was above the light assembly and looking straight into the reflection along the bottom of the center section.

 

05-06 FSM for AC trucks shows it as being here, someone posted a pic of it before, you can see it from the footwell, at least where the connector plugs in, there are pics of it in the long ass RS3200 thread:

 

How are you feeling about it, seal-wise, fitment-wise?

 

Well fuck me, I guess I could've gotten to it while I had the gauges out. At least taking off the gauges and the A-pillar are pretty easy. I didn't want to remove the console or my driver seat today. Which is why I still haven't finished wiring the back up camera. It's wired to the Pioneer and the wires are ran thru the dash and kick panel to under the carpet. But it rained from about midnight to noon today, so I didn't feel like crawling around under the truck today. Will finish backup cam tomorrow and probably tackle the keyless antenna.
Still need to install the 5100's and the desert ar or LED pod. Getting shit done slow n steady this weekend haha

 

00-03 FSM shows it in the same location fr RS3200...

​

 

Looks so familiar

 

It fit ok. I wanted to go ahead and throw it on there but I not going to drive around on rainy days until that other perimeter gasket gets here.

 

I wish it showed where the antenna was. It was the grey wire wrapped around the steering column on my 99 Tacoma (RS3000). Extending it into the A-pillar took my keyless range from 10 feet to far enough that the doors would relock before I got there, if i took more than 30 seconds.

 

Is it the same one you got?

 

That 30 second timeout has gotten me so many times. You'd figured I would've learned by now to just take the keys with me and unlock it near the truck instead of leaving the keys in the house, walking and having my hand 2 mm away from grabbing the door handle before it locks back up on me just to piss me off. LOL. I think there is a way to change that timeout with TechStream but I haven't looked into it.

 

I got it after seeing his pics. I think he got smoked and I got the red one.

 

There's a thread on TS that shows it. It may be in a PDF attachment, but I remember seeing it. Or was it over here? I'm pretty sure it was over there.

 

It's in the programming info, linked at the top of the megathread, 4th or 5th paragraph. Look in the RS3200 programming instructions. Use those to toggle off the

$10 auto-lock 5pcs 12V waterproof push-button on-off switch, carbhub 12V waterproof push-button on-off switch with 4" leads for motorcycle/auto car

auto-lock feature.

 

In the 04 and my 05 the unit is behind the dash bar behind the gauge cluster

 

I'll see tomorrow if it's back there on my 03.
I just changed a bulb yesterday, but wasn't even thinking to look back there. Haha. Good thing these trucks are crazy easy to get the gauges out of.

 

I’m so glad this thread got back on track. Give you guys an afternoon off and you turn it into the “Fiat Daimler Chrysler Lunch Table”

 

This has been a BS thread lately it seems.

 

My inner tie rods & steering rack bushings are supposed to be here today.

 

Fixed my right hand pull and tossed on some new Akebono pads.

Pull started after the selling dealer replaced the tpms they had ordered. Figured they got the tires moved around & my tire tread gauge confirmed it. Moved the passenger front to back and then the fronts left to right. Boom no more pull. Pads weren't terrible but went ahead so I don't need to think about it for a long time.

Edit: For the sharp eyes, yes I did forget the back plate on one pad at first, it was stuck to the others. Had to take it off & put the back plate on lol.

 

My Moog inners have been sitting on my bench waiting for install for a month. For some reason I've been dreading it. I really don't want to pay for another alignment where they do a half ass job.

 

This is what slows me down on most suspension work. With my 21 Tundra I went through 3 shops to finally get it right. Huge waste of time and money. I asked one shop to try and hit specific numbers for me after they made it worse, the guy said "So you're saying you know more than the JAP-O-NESE that made the truck? We got it in the green!" ugh......

 

So it begins..... But first a trip to O'Reilly's

 

Didn't do it today as I was waiting to get the other little parts for the door bottom seal to see if they fit. Over the last week or 2 I have ordered the rocker plugs and the little plastic clips from Amazon. Rocker was missing a couple when I bought the truck and when cleaning between the door and seal over time I think I busted the clips that hold that on. Both of these parts are either way too expensive through Toyota for what they are or not sold separately without the weather strip which is like 60+ dollars.
Now I just need to figure out a way to effectively clean up inside the rocker really well sprayed some surface shield up in there before winter road crap.

 

Preach. I used to take my truck to a shop right by my house, but after the last few trips, I've all but sworn them off. Last alignment I asked for, truck still pulled to the right. Asked them to rotate the tires too...you know how I know they didn't? I had a slow leak in front passenger tire and guess which tire was still hissing when checked the next day?
