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

Not 11.5 wide?

 

Maybe, every tire is different than the size listed, so you need to go to the manufacturers site to get its actual size

 

Plan on changing front and rear diff fluid, along with transmission and transfer case what gear oil do you guys recommend? I've seen Mobil 1 75-90 and thats about it. I hear the purple stuff isn't very good

Manual transmission btw

 

I used the cheapo Valvoline 75-90 that you can get at AutoZone for the diffs and the tcase. And Redline MT-90 for the transmission. You don't need anything fancy or expensive for diffs, you could use something better in the tcase if you really felt like the 1 synchro needs it, but its not necessary. Don't think you have to bother with the Redline either, it is good for sure but any other GL-4 like Amsoil will work and feel the same (I've tried a couple now). Just make sure you use GL-4 in the tranny. I don't bother with synthetic for something as simple as a differential but it is nice in the transmission as it is less affected by temperature and makes cold shifts a bit easier.

 

Actual tire size varies quite a bit, I'd say +/- a % or 2. The actual size is normally slightly smaller than listed. The rim also has an impact on tire size once mounted.

 

I've got the St maxx they are awesome so far. And I actually haven't read a negative review on here about them.

 

So basically any 75-90 for transfer case, front and rear diffs, and the any GL-4 for the transmission. Do you happen to know how many 32 oz bottles I should get? I saw a video where the guy did it all except the front diff with 6 bottles

 

under 100K a baby
under 200K a mean-ager ( teenager)
Under 300K adult
under 400K mature
under 500K senior
over 500K holy crap , are you real ?

 

Couldn't say for sure as my transmission is smaller than yours. I know the back of your owners manual has it all listed in liters and a quart is .976 of a liter so it is pretty close comparison.

 

I'll do some snooping around the manual just wanted some quick answers. Gonna tackle this and coolant flush over thanksgiving break

 

Beast Mode!!

better take that rack off at night or it might end up on my rig...lol

 

Just disconnected the sway-bars.

 

Someone feeling dangerous

 

Sacrificing a little cornering for better off-road articulation.
I didn't completely remove it from the frame, just disconnected the end-links and secured one end to the frame. That way, its easy to re-connect, if I think the handling is too scary.

 

good stuff! I didn't do it but all my armor is now powder coated. the install process begins tomorrow

 

They're about 33x11 mounted on stock rims.

 

If anyone in sac CA wants them.

 

I just took mine off a little while ago too. My passenger one is all melted from hitting the exhaust.

 

The only thing I've cut is the lower radiator support. And poof. Cummins Taco. It even sits on the body mounts.

 

You better post up videos when this beast is Rollin!
