What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Whats everyones take on the trim packer? My driver side sags and the alignment guy noticed I have 30 days to have it redone...

Thinking about ordering the trim packer and a diff drop then doing another alignment.

Thoughts?

 

I should probably get a cb drop as well... The expos actually lined up the rear axle almost perfect. My cb angle, not so much... Haha

 

Just use 2 big nutz (lolz)

Does the poly or aluminum spacer gonna wear out because its softer than steel (for strut spacers)

 

And possibly snap a bolt on the trail from too much torque? Nope... Haha

I'll be going with this....

I'd go aluminum personally for that reason.

 

It definitely is, I've gotten summoned every year except once since I turned 18, I've only actually had to go once but never went passed the waiting room. I've always wanted to do it but it would be a lot of money out of my pocket, which is my only problem with doing it as I don't really have any money to begin with

 

I'll try it, thanks!

 

Hey, thats what I use, perfect fit over the stock CB bolts, has worked flawlessly for 3 years...

The only reason it'd possibly snap one of those bolts is if they were loose in the first place or possibly if there was too much slop between the shank of the bolt & your spacer of choice, still it'd have to be loose to begin with

& I'd never use aluminum for any kind of spacer, especially where alot of weight &/or friction is taking place, the old Rough Country lifts from years ago used 3" & 4" aluminum blocks for the rear & I saw alot of them just melt away like a cube of butter on a warm plate because of the softer alloy against steel/cast iron

 

Drove it 56 miles one way to the nearest dealership to have them take care of the spare tire carrier recall..... Well It will be replaced but another time, they have to order the part (my truck will be the first one they have done).

 

Ha, I pulled mine out when we boxed the frame. It is a bitch because you have to unbolt and jack up the bed.

 

sooo after spending around 400 bones on oem gascap and evap/charcoal canister my p0440 came back today!! so sick of this! anyone have any ideas? when i search for this everyone has multiple p044x codes... and i just have the p0440

 

Is that a lean code ?? Maybe fuel filter ? I dunno, Goddamned electronic/cpu based shit & everything is integrated parts/emissions wise..I've seen totally (seemingly) unrelated parts defect,throw a code.. One thing will code out to another sometimes leaving you scratching your head...can get really frustrating

 

Going to order some new tires and rims!

 

Friend & I, installed this set up:
I ordered these assembled from Wheelers.
882 coils
90004 front Shocks
1 - 5mm Trim packer on Driver side

Just had alignment done, i Like it!!!! I have a Bro lean, I knew i would but wanted to get this front-end pkg installed and see how much lift i need in the rear to level her out.. Ride is not bad, not bad at all...
From Center of Hub to Bottom of Fender is exactly 25" Both sides..:

 

Get my old set

 

Look good! Plans for the rear? Id go allpro expos or a sturdy spring being DC!


I ordered a diff drop and 1/4 spacer, gonna try to get it all installed then get another alignment (they told me I have 30 days)

 

Time for some 33s now!

 

Thank you for the comp.... Yes,I will check into Expos..
