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

I just told them I wanted 3* of caster and that's where they set it.

Problem?

 

I was at 1.9*with the stock arms for quite a while but arms will eventually run out of adjustment and can't be turned any further. That was where I was at.

 

Time to do work

 

Fun stuff

 

Do the front and rear fenders absolutely have to be trimmed a couple inches all around for 35's? I want to keep my bushwacker flares if possible.

 

Unless you want to rub. I went glass up front had to trim that also at full stuff and wheels turned Trimmed 2" out the rears just to be safe...

 

BEAST MODE^^

I think I might just pay someone to do them..lol....a fellow TW member said he'll do it for $100

 

Hmm. I highly doubt I could flex those bushwackers out around the wheel well that much. I hate the look of no flares though.

 

Yeah would be tough. Not sure if anyone has done it.

 

Installed the CBI ditch light mounts and put some cheapy LEDs that I had laying around on them. Sorry about the grainy pictures, the iPhone sucks in low light.

 

"Finished" my o2 sensor replacement today. I don't know why everybody talks about the manual tranny o2 sensors being a b!tch, when I took the shifter boot off it didn't take but a minute to get to the connector. Took longer to take the boot off lol.
Since one of my studs broke off, I just have the upstream one bolted on one side and a hose clamp on the other until I get home from college and can replace the flange next weekend. Has been holding fine. Honestly don't think it'll be a problem until then

 

Ordered a winch rope, 3/8" x 100'.. Red w/ black guards and a red hook

Any advice on what product will protect the rope from the sun/elements??


Also found quite a bit of play in my PS OTRE and discovered that the front LCA bushings on both sides are toast... YAY!



Those ditch lights look sweet man!

 

Tomorrow is LCA day for me. Not even bothering with attempting to get the old bushings out, just installing new TGP LCAs. Still going to be fun times.

 

IIRC Didn't ponethousand trim for 35s and keep his flares?

 

I'm happy to update that recently had some work done on my truck! I had a spare tire carrier fab'd for my bed, sliders with a 2" kick out and custom sub box with a 10" shallow sub. I don't have pics ready just yet but I'm pleased with the outcome.

 

Yes they do.

 

At 193k, I'm expecting the worst... How much were new ones?

 

From Camelback Toyota, roughly $190 ea. The bushings can be bought separately, at about $40 ea. but need to be able to press the old ones out. I bought an Energy Suspension bushing kit but after reading up, didn't want the mess of burning and grinding out the old bushings.

 

Here's the latest Camelback order. Some big stuff, some little odds and ends stuff:

 

yes. ive put slits in my tread blocks and i have damn near 2" taken out
