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

Those are very nice

 

Thanks bud. They are for loudboy. He is going to love them

 

Join the club.

The other side is probably starting to leak too. Mine was.

 

Finally ordered and received the AF sensor so I can finish that and start getting it ready for sale.

 

Upgraded to the 06+ Tundra brakes today with Power-stop red calipers and EBC 7000 green stuff pads.
Was a tight squeeze but they fit with a little room to spare with my 16x8 wheels.

I have the 01-04 Tundra LCE re-manufactured calipers and EBC 7000 green stuff pads with 1000 miles on them for sale cheap.
All you need is wheelers brake lines and Rotors of your choosing to be ready to go.

 

What's cheap? I'm interested as my front brakes are dead.

 

Calipers are $140 each the pads are $100 new, I would do $275 shipped
The calipers are untreated and have a little surface rust that would be easy to clean and paint any color you like with a caliper paint, the pads look near new.
Again you would need to purchase matching rotors for 01+ Tundra and wheelers steel brake lines.

 

I like those! Who makes them, is there a 98-00 model?

 

Added a little rice to my skid plate. I like that it's subtle and not over powering but I do want to spread a little better. Got the led bars off some member for like $10 bucks so I figured why not.

 

Looking for a "cheap" coilover setup. I'm just looking for a cheaper coilover that are equal in reliability, performance, quality as kings, icon, Fox.

just looking for more options for my 2001 4x4 tacoma. I am going to put a plate bumper with a winch once I'm done with the lift.

 

Look around here you might get lucky.

I make them. These are for one of my customers. Wanting something like this?

 

Hmmmmm, I'm in the market for these. Was going to have my buddy powder coat them anyways

Are they the larger of the 2 sized calipers?

 

X2 or try eibachs

 

Whys that

 

They are also technically valved for use with stock springs iirc.

 

I totally disagree. I believe 5100s are great man but to each their own

 

I was going to put billies in the rear. So what is the difference between the ome kings and the performance kings?

 

I was not overly impressed with mine. When they had eibachs on them they rode like I had bricks in the suspension even with bumpers, sliders, skids. Swapped some 881s into them and they were much improved but nothing to rave about.

Not saying they are bad, not saying they are great. They're ok at best. I think a lot of the perceptions get a little skewed when people go from 10+ year old stock suspension to 5100s. Of course it's going to feel better; your 10+, 100k mile suspension was clapped out and had minimal damping/ride control. But have it for a bit and it'll get less and less impressive. Especially over expansion joints and frost heaved areas on the highway at speed.

This was just my experience with my trucks particular setup.

 

I see, well I'll pass on billies for the front at least. I keep looking at the king performance coilover just standard length. I would love extended travel but I don't think I'll be using the extra travel. So just figured save up $650 for now.

I don't have the time to go wheeling, but I live on a dirt road and that's about half of my commute to work and back. The performance might be a bit overkill but I always thought that's the only way to do it lol.
