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

I was about to ask that

 

Sweet!

 

Looks awesome Madjik!!

 

Looks Great....might consider doing the same on mine.

 

Anti-sway bar removed, Toytech front diff drop installed. Borrowed a floor jack to support the diff, didn't actually need it, all that lowered was the struts supporting the diff. Kinda confused, but my CV angles DO look better, even if only marginally.

 

If the angles on the cv axles are at to much of a degree can that cause a bouncy feel or some sort vibration? I still need to do a cv drop and cb drop, would both of these help my bad vibrations/bounciness? Happens between 35 -50 then between 60-70, every other speed than those I listed its smooth...been like this for a month or two, I thought it would go away but I need to do something soon, posted here cause every body has a first gen lol pm me please if you have any info that helps, but I did finally clean out the inside of my Tacoma..it was like a locker room/closet in the back haha

 

found myself in a convoy of tacomas going to a used car lot.

 

Replaced plugs and wires, old ones look like they've been in there for ahwile.




Not to mention they're the wrong plugs! DPO

 

Spark plugs are my next adventure

 

With all the work you do to your truck, plugs should be relatively easy.

BTW, love looking at both our sig pics. CO FTW!

 

Most of the work I do on my truck involves $5 cans of spray paint

And yes... CO FTMFW!

Have a good friend who lives up in Steamboat. I get up there about twice a year. Love it up there.

 

Not really today but in the past week or so...

Welded on a brace to tie the front of the frame together. This will be the mounting point for a future bumper that I'm going to build. It also has mounting points on the bottom for my budbuilts.



Then I finally got my addicted sliders welded on...love my new Hobart 187.





Mocked up a design for my high clearance rear bumper just using rough measurements. I'll tweak it as I'm building it



Then I went and bashed on my "new" budbuilts and sliders

 

It's still work.

 

Dude....


^ that's all I got

 

dood....


i got something for ya...

wheres the build thread!!!???

 

I've been meaning to put a thread together. I'll have to do that soon now that I have enough stuff done to constitute one.

 

What lake is that in the last pic?

 

It's Wheeler Lake between Fairplay and Breckenridge.

 

Well I didn't have any trouble with bouncing/vibration... but putting in the diff drop helped. Don't drop your CB, it'll probably break Do you have a manual? That would put you at 3rd gear and low 5th/high 4th, might be a gearing/transmission problem? I don't know I'm just giving my best guess. From what I've heard you don't know your CV angle sucks until BAM! You blow a boot, grease going everywhere and you just look at it and go

One thing I noticed about the sway bar disconnect is it makes my Taco lean even worse. Really need to take it in and get the driver side spacer installed!

 

Sounds like a trip for me this summer

edit: upon further review on traildamage.com I think there's a couple of spots there that wag their finger at me....
