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

Yup! I'm picking up a hood Friday and getting everything else sometime too when I find a good deal. I will be doing a full write up on it so there is no confusion when doing it and what you need

 

Redline hood struts.

[/QUOTE]

The hood struts are one of the best mods I've done & I appreciate them every time the hood is up!

 

Would a 59 1/2" toolbox fit? I would go check but I'm not by my truck and don't have a tape measure. I googled but did't find a definitive answer

 

Ordered the kit with no pads and bought EBC 7000k pads from Chaz TAP group buy.

The Tundra kit does not require replacing the master cylinder, Direct bolt on for the most part.

 

thats terrible.

They look like a stock pack, I cant begin to explain how happy I have been with my J59 Deaver 8 pack.

Been on the truck for 2+ years and they are still in great shape, handles heavy loads just fine too.

 

Still look just like this.

In fact I may remove a leaf and lower the front a few threads on the coil over to bring back to a more stock height.

 

OMD Spring mod FTW

 

Who makes that lower shock mount? I think I will need something like it if I get the ADS shocks.

Also those springs look great. Picking springs is the hardest part. I was leaning toward the All Pro Expos but now I'm thinking of having Deaver or Alcan build some.

 

not sure of the mount, I had the rear built locally by Supermoto Landon a few years back..

He beefed up my stock lower control arms to be like a tank too.

 

got a link Monte? Pic isn't showing up.

Thanx brotha

 

Nevermind

Well that works. If you click the lil arrow in my post opthats in the quote it would take you right too it.

 

What's terrible is what happened when I talked with the owner.

 

Ok cool. Do you happen to remember what year Tundra pads you ordered or if it matters?

 

01-03 years the smaller ones

 

Goddamnit I'm not on there someone re-host

 

For those with oxidized headlights

How big are your shocks? Doesn't look like you have much down travel

 

10 inch fox, that pic is while it was settling, i have a few inches down and like 5-6 up with 1 or so of unused travel before bump cause im so light vs my valving.

I run limit straps front and rear as well however with the past few years of having it this way I do not feel that the limiting down travel was an issue but rather the extra uptravel was what I used anyways.

I dont huck the truck but I do go pretty fast in the trails ect.

Having the front and rear lowered an inch this weekend when I have the truck under the knife for dual spare setup in back.

I will post after pics next wednesday or so.

 

Dropped my driveshaft, removed the busted rear u joint (which was a HUGE pita!!), replaced it with a greaseable one from GMB (pn

$60 04371-60070 Universal Joint

04371-60070), cleaned the hell outta the other joints, re-greased everything, added a small CB spacer to straighten the shaft a bit, and reinstalled everything. Rides super smooth now, no squeaks or vibes !
