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

stance looks good. But your shackle angle looks wretched

 

Sure does. . With the 1.5 they liked similar. Had this discussion last year in my build thread. Adam chimed in and said that's about right for the all pros

 

vertical? they look almost vertical. Thats not a good shackle angle for any spring.

 

I agree. I'm going to roll with it and see how it does

 

cool cool

 

Exatcly how mine look. Almost vertical. Not sure why. They've been on for a year and I haven't had any issues.

 

Aren't the coils built into the wires now?

 

So now my blinker works fine if the pods are on but if they aren't on the blinker blinks slow and my pods flash at the same time only the drivers side blinker does this so guess I'm gonna take the pods out and put the factory signals back in to see if that helps maybe?

 

I know, That is what I do every time I see it.

You guys make me

 

You coulda cleaned up a bit before you took the pic

 

I'm not worried about it. Like I said earlier the 1.5 were about the same degree. Wheeled plenty of times with no issues. I'm just happy I don't have that so cal cali lean!

Lol!

 

More of a bandaid than a fix but I couldn't take the nasty clear coat on my hood anymore, wax and polish was starting to make no difference.

 

I want one of these so bad but I hate that the don't go all the way to the end of the hood.

 

Looks good for a bandaid.

Cleaned my MAF, painted my radiator black with the left over high heat paint from my 04 exhaust manifold, turned my cb radio on for the first time today also. Woot!

Question: (might only be 3rz) the adjustable tension pulley for the belts (specifically the one right next to the valve cover on top of the engine) is it supposed to have some wobble in it or should that thing be stiff like all the other pulleys?

 

Just buy a big roll of 3m vinyl off Amazon and do the whole hood, personally I like the look of it being short, but that's just me!

I cleaned my MAF today too, I feel like it made a difference but who knows!

 

I thought about doing the whole hood as well.

 

It always makes a little difference haha! I try to clean it every couple months.

 

Was going to replace my rear o2 today, got the rear bolt off, front bolt closest to the cat snapped off....

 

So i plan on regearing my differential myself
I have my gears
And plan on getting the full master install kit from ECGS
only question is
The solid spacer that ecgs advertises seperatley
http://eastcoastgearsupply.com/i-18155361-toyota-7-5-solid-spacer.html
Is it worth getting or would it make sence to buy it for added strength
Want to do it right the first time and if it will help even a little i figure get it now instead of regret not getting it later
Thanks for any help
