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

That^ It is hard to say for sure, because the sound is bouncing off the ground. I want to say it is coming from somewhere behind the firewall, as in under the cab, or farther back

 

Have someone move it while you lay next to it and listen or mount/lay a camera under while you drive

 

Check your engine and transmission mounts, they go bad and peel apart. sometimes not visually obvious either, try lifting with a pry bar to check for tears.

 

Will do. I will try to mount my gopro in various areas where I think it might be coming from

 

Damn that top picture is sick!

 

Right click, save

 

some people cut old cool whip bowls and position it under filter

 

Agreed but shocks are a wear item just like brakes, clutches, tires. Mine old 5125's leaked and i just replaced them with SAW 2.5's. Most people don't realize that most shocks are wore out by 40-50K miles. sooner if you wheel hard and get the oil hot, it breaks down with time.

 

Point taken. I should have said premature failure.

 

Thanks!

 

They are here! Hell yeah

 

Thanks man! Was a great day til the rain came....

 

What's in thattttt

 

yea but...but...


scoop...

x2 to that. But mine lasted almost 3 years of HARD abuse. was fine to start with.





as for what i did to Frank..i pulled the rear diff. Cause you know, it was working perfect so why not?

 

5100s only carry a limited lifetime warranty, not the full warranty as on other Bilsteins. As I found out that does not include my bent shaft. I don't even understand how you bend a front shock shaft, but I did it. Shocks had like 30K on them I think.

Hope my rear 7100s hold up better, but at least they're serviceable.

 

mine had no oil left after less then 20 easy.

 

Yeah, should have gone mid-travel in the first place when I could have made that work. OME is a huge step up from 5100s at least for a small increase in cost.

 

decided to remove one of my front HIDs........to make room for a new winch. ComeUp SEAL Gen2 9.5s This is a sweet winch, synthetic rope and awesome quality with twice the line speed of a Warn Zeon. Snug fit in the TG bumper but it works great in there. Only had to trim a bit of the grill for the handle.

 

i didn't care because LT was in my plans from day 1
