Tacoma Problem and parts

Oct 03, 2003 4 Replies

First could someone please tell me of a web site that I can buy tacoma parts at a good price, I need a drivers side tail light for a 1996 . Also would like to find a solution to the hard to remove rims on my truck, If I were to have a flat on the road without a big hammer I would'nt be able to get the wheels off has anyone else had this problem and if so did you find a soulution.



Thanks, Don


Don, Try eBay for the tail light. I've seen them there going much cheaper than new.

I bought an impact wrench that plugs into your cigarette lighter at Harbor Freight (auto section) for under $20. It's not designed for heavy duty constant use....but for simple jobs like changing a flat or rotating tires, it works great. I liked mine so much that I bought one for my girlfriend's car and my work car. Mike

I found a local business that sells aftermarket body parts, in Maynardville Tn. I purchased a L.H. Fender for my 85 toyo 4wd for $90.00 and a corner sidemarker light for $28.00. and they were a pleasure to do business with. Ask for James at: Body Panels Plus 3625 Maynardville Hwy Maynardville TN 37807 tele (865) 992- 9040 fax (865) 992-0104

I plan on painting up the fender but am not sure if I should do in on or off the truck. I'm open for suggestions as I haven't painted a vehicle before. Thanks, Scott

What do you mean by "they are hard to remove"? Is it hard to get to the lugs or are the rims corroded to the wheel discs?

I've had problems where the alloy wheels would become stuck to the steel hub --- I'd have to pry wheel off with a 2x4. I liberally coted the area with anti-seize compond and no longer have the problem.
