We have an Amazon wherehouse in Hawaii? If so it's news to me. Quite a few of us Hawaii peeps in this forum. Nice to see not everyone buying Tacomas. emoji38.png

My guess is from the Amazon warehouse in Hawaii, where the package got damaged on shipping to the island and the original customer refused them.  Lucky guy!

 

I just got lucky. I believe there was one more on Amazon Warehouse and someone else likely bought it. I also bought a bedrug (just the flat bottom custom fit piece) for about $40 less with free shipping too. Still waiting for this to come in. They also have Tonneau covers for cheap, but they don't ship those to Hawaii.

Mods I have made since I purchased my truck are:

1. 6" steps (OEM)

2. All-weather Chevy floor-mats (front and back) 

3. Line-X spray-in bedliner

4. Replaced antenna with a Metra 7" shorty antenna (purchased at Advance Auto Parts)

5. Removed the dealership badge from the tailgate

 

I really like all of the updates/mods.  I don't have a favorite mod at this point.  For all considering replacing the long antenna, the Metra antenna I purchased at Advance Auto Parts receives all of the channels so far with no noticeable difference.  I haven't travelled far out of my area yet, so my opinion may change.  I had to return the first antenna I purchased because the base was too large to screw onto the receiving antenna screw (so be careful with the size of the base on these).

 

Mods to do:

1. Towing package

2. Tonneau cover (leaning toward the rollup Gator cover mainly because of the price)

3. Possibly the CHEVROLET inserts/stickers on the tailgate.

 

I washed it yesterday for the first time, and cleaned out the interior.  Will get it waxed before winter gets here.

I went but didn't see too much I wanted except some wheels I might pick up later. Here's a pic. 6e4b4a1628bd1010181e75f874c21a5e.jpg

Same boat as u, I have a friend who has a LTZ with 24" reps wrapped with 295/35 dropped on 3/5 IHC kit. Beautiful stance, I'd also go with it if it wasnt my daily. As far as loading people in the cab and bed, he mentioned once it reaches above 25 psi in the air bags it gets pretty stiff. Waiting on what 2/4 kits come out.

Set of custom made 10mm hub centric and wheel centric spacers finally came in and installed. Eliminated my steering wheel shake between 50-60mph.

I will be going to SEMA next week. Hopefully I can get some insight from belltech. I’ll keep you posted.

Took my T1 to the hunting camp today. FINALLY got to use my truck, in its element. 4wd and (surprisingly) the auto-lock rear diff really impressed me

today. I love this truck more and more!

 

PS: I feel like this should be a magazine ad or something. This truck looks SO dang good to me!

    • My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.  
    • The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.
