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

Thanks buddy

 

It's so easy once you've done it one time.. Wish I would have rebooted my originals instead of paying for CVJ reman's.. Oh well.

 

Honestly I like the new layout much better.


Logan your truck is so clean, but weren't you going to get rid of it?

 

Thanks buddy. Might be keeping this one lol

 

I regret to say that, although we lined up the old and new springs side by side on the ground and looked at them, I didn't photograph them. For that matter, I didn't photograph any of the parts or the work, as I thought how to do the swap was already pretty well-documented.

The new ones were about 2" taller at their arch, indicating the old were broken down/flattened est. 2". Correspondingly, the bed is now sitting up nicely, after the install. The ride improvement is significant.

 

So you would recommend me the 18 instead of 24 and i can't find any vids with the 24 so idk how it sounds?

 

I was gonna get pics today but was super busy, I'll get some tomorrow morning

 

I have the 18" bodied magnaflow you can look in my album. Mines dumped after the axle by the spare and sounds sweet it's quite at idle but very throaty when you get on it. I had the flow master 40 series before and I'd never buy another flowmaster.

 

Honestly can't totally say. I've never heard the 24 on ours. My dad has a 24 I think but it's a 2nd gen...and dual out. And his truck is not...stock...in the area of...the motor..haha so it's hard to say for me.

I know I like the 18 though for a dd weekend warrior rig. What Id probably put on my double cab if I could.

My 14 is awesome but it's more for a dedicated rig Id say.

Just finished up Urban Redneck's one piece retros with mini h1s and switchback halos

 

Damn those one pieces look awesome! If I do a 01-04 swap I may retro those instead of the typical ones

 

Yea they came out pretty sweet

 

Got this on...

 

Nice! That looks great!

 

So hyped on it. what did you do with the pieces that stuck out from the wheel well and the frame?

 

Looks good man! Wanna trade front bumpers?

 

Hmm not sure what your talking about... Do you mean the plastic wheel liner things?

LOL. After my long wait i don't think i will ever let it go.. sorry
