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

here i was driving around with 5100s thinking my truck handled great??? I mean for $115cdn each with free shipping i dont see a problem with them.

 

U are correct on the 883 specs. I don't mind the 883s. The ride isn't super plush but I'm used to that and I think it rides fine. Cornering is stable sans sway bar, the lift is where I wanna be, and like I said it holds the weight pretty well. My truck is a heavy sob! They do the job offroad too. I'd like to get some nice COs some day but that's way down the road unless I find a great deal somewhere

Your clunk sounds like it might be bushings. I know my LCA bushings are beat and cause a 'cold clunk'

 

Did you throw them away? Get them warranty replaced and hook up someone local.

 

Toytec will do this for u as well

 

Got my grill painted. Can't wait to get the mesh installed

 

Looks good! The dents don't look that bad either.

 

This is my first post that's not a question!!

I cleared up the headlights on my 01 DC with Meguiars 2 step. Super easy, only took like 20 minutes.

 

Mequiars makes fantastic products. I wish I'd known about them when my last car needed headlight cleaning. I got some cheapo brand and it made a slight difference. But only slight.

 

I suggest you at least wax those, and you'll need to polish them again every few months, but at least you got the worst of it off.
I've been using Plastic X to polish mine, then paste wax.

 

Well I got some time to decide on the front since I'm getting a bumper soon. What do you guys suggest for the rear shocks?

 

Last time I re did my headlights it cleared them out great but nothing but replacements get rid of the yellowing.

 

Thanks for the advice! The kit came with a sealer spray that is supposed to keep them good for "up to a year." It doesn't just take it off, but protects it against future damage. I know that a year is optimistic marketing talk, but I'm not totally anal about it, so I'll see how long it lasts before I feel like I need to re-do it. If it's less time than I want, I'll keep your tip in mind.

 

They look clear enough for me. I'll replace em when they go out, haha. Those are 14 yrs old and still going strong.

 

Yeah, I tried some sealer spray but its bullshit. They want you to keep buying the polish...

The goal is not to solve your problem, but sustain your hope while they sustain their revenue.

 

Haha, I don't doubt they want you to keep buying, but I have faith that Meguiar's has the customer's best interest in mind. At least, I do for now

 

Yeah, I like Meguiar's stuff too.

 

Nope I still have them. Maybe...idk. No one local to me anyways that could use them

 

The new brakes.

 

good to know, thanks!

No I didn't. I wish I was that special lol. The ones I got cost $1500. I got a $500 gift card and then I sold my Toytec CO's. So I paid about $650.

But from what I've seen so far, the price for ADS seems to be comparable to Kings and Icons. And these have great quality.
