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

Can someone please measure the gap between the cab and bed for me? I'm ready to chop the frame...

 

On an old vehicle vacuum lines certainly are suspect

Sure, I'll grab calipers and get you a measurement. 5mins!

 

A tape measure measurement would suffice lol.

 

I had em available.

Looks like I've been hit because mine are a each a bit different. But passenger side top of box is .859 in., passenger side bottom of box is .936 in., driver's side top of box is .761in., and driver's side bottom of box is .740in.

So about .824 in. overall if you average it

 

Thanks! 7/8" it is!

I think that screws me but oh well. I'll make it work.

 

Holy stuff! Aren't you on 882's too? That's a lot of trimming smashing and cutting lol! Not at that step yet Mine are pretty stiff still! Thinking about goin to those hankook 295's for my next tire! D rated?

 

Looks good!

 

I paid $2100 for a brand new motor, at a place called jasper motors 1 year gurantee on it.

Retrofit the spyders, then your really talkin.....

 

I do believe you're the one that chose to move to the hellish flatlands away from the mountains. I am from the mountains and stuck on the front range for school. Still right next to the mountains but not nearly as good.

Also, to follow up on an older discussion. Way less than 2" between the frame and tire at full stuff. This is not quite full stuff, but close enough. Stock 4.5 bs wheels + 1.25" spacers = 3.25" bs and 295s. Outboarding shocks would be nearly impossible on the stock axle unless you're running tiny tires or ridiculously large offset.

Thanks man!

Gotta get the most you can out of the IFS! Don't waste precious uptravel with too stiff of front coils. Exactly why I chose the 882s, much better for stuffing than 883s or the 620lb eibachs. And yes, lots of hammering and cutting, but zero rubbing on 295s Done just about everything I can besides tubbing at this point.

Oh, and load range D.

 

Hell no. You can mod any lighting housing....

 

Are you regeared already or still on stock gears? Manual or auto?

 

Someone had done that. But you can always add color shifting halos into a brand new headlight housing for them to be better

 

Manual and stock gears. It's really shitty. Spent that entire trail riding the clutch. Gears and a front locker are the first thing going on this spring.

 

Love mine, plus I have several in dash switches so I can just run them stock without attracting attention. There's hids I can run behind those color change red demon eyes.

 

finally. Some measurements. Interesting results for sure. I know TC's kit is mounted pretty far forward. but still. Looks like it would rub abit at least.

Yea i did for damn school. No place that does my degree near mountains sadly..I'll be home soon for snowboarding season though

 

I'm running basically the same setup, but with an auto, there is some loss of power but I haven't really felt the need to tree gear yet.

 

finally washed her! Just have to clean my bed cage since is soaked in dirt and oil that was leaking from the rear end. Seems like it is going to be pretty tedious. I know this might sound dumb but has anyone used like a sort of steam power wash to help clean oil? a local car wash offers it and i figured the heat my help

 

Wonder if that size tire would fit on a 16x8 4.5 back spacing wheel without issues.
