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.

 

2. Light should not flash. Clicking sound is probably the ADD (4wd) relay. Does the clicking and flahing correspond?

 

Yes the light and clicking coincide.

 

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)

Also can you tell me where this relay is? Thanks.
