Questions about my new truck
I just got a new truck, a 1993 Toyota 4x4 V6 X-cab with an Automatic. I had a few questions hopefully someone can answer. I tried searching on each one...
1. Where can I get new OEM Toyota parts online? Maybe a site with part diagrams?
2. When in 4 wheel drive there is a clicking sound under the dash and the 4X4 light blinks. 4 wheel drive works fine. Someone told me it was normal with an automatic?
3. Anyone know the best way to mount a car seat in the back of the X-cab? Or the best kind to put back there? My daughter's leans to far forward.
4. What companies besides Downey specialize in Toyota 4X4 performance?
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

I don't think you'd want to put in a babyseat sideways.
I mean I don't have kids or too much experience with infants but I can't imagine mounting a babyseat sideways would be all that safe when you're most likely to get into a front/rear collision than you are a side one.
Maybe it's just me?

you put the baby seat in the front passenger seat... tis a 93 so it doesnt have airbags. the newer trucks have selectable airbags or fullsize rear seats, but the older toyotas did not. look at all-pro offroad, lc engineering, marlin crawler... lots of places sell yota stuff

1 - www.partznet.com for OEM parts
2 - Agree on the relay.
3 - I took the X-cab seats out of my 84 and fabbed a rear platform made of steel that bolted through the body and through another 3/8" plate. I mounted one single seatblet to the platform and two rails that the carseat base fits into. Total cost was about 40.00 in steel and a little welding. That seat isn't going anywhere! (the seat sits in the middle)
4. www.marlincrawler.com www.allprooffroad.com www.lcengineering.com www.jtoutfitters.com http://www.sky-manufacturing.com/
