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

C'mon tell us. It might make me fell better about what I paid for my DC.

 

?0,000

 

30 pence and a handy job?

 

20,000?

 

As someone who doesnt work on truck suspensions. What is it that im looking at? Pneumatic lift system? Custom diff carrier?

 

Finished the big 3 mods today!

Terminals





Where the cables ran down..




Where I moved the fender ground...



I didn't like the idea of the voltage reading being on all the time so I wired up a switch for it using one I cut off from a wiring harness.

 

I would say its just a custom diff with some air bumps mounted on the cross memeber

 

Since the bumps are there are you going to run your shocks outside of the frame?

 

These are replacing or are in addition to the shocks?

 

Well I know someone that knows very well what he's doing when it comes to my truck and he might be able to fix my head gasket in like a month or two. I'll just have to wait and see. But in the mean time I have a cv to learn how to replace and (still) an oil change to perform lol.

 

I laughed so hard at this^

 

They are an addition to the shocks. They are designed to adsorb the impact and stop the axle before it completely raises into the frame.

 

Got my brakes working better by swapping out the Tacoma booster with a T100 booster. It bolts right in. Also put in a new lift pump, put on the winter tires, and CumToy is now fully drivable. The diesel is so sick.









6 in a row makes it go!

 

Custom housing from Ruff Stuff Specialties and some King 2.5 air bump stops

^you got it

Yes they will be on the outside. I have 14" from leaf perch to the end of spindle, plenty of room. Will be less with a tire on there obviously but there's still plenty

Truck looks good, how is the air flow to the radiator though? There's almost 0 air flow to that part of the bed. Electric fan I'm guessing?

 

I need to do this bad..

 

Lemme know if you need help, changing CVs on the manual hub Tacos is easier I think.

 

Cool. I've seen it done before on a 1st gens but the guy notched the frame. I'm always looking at what ppl build and how it turns out.

 

Was it stock width axle? I'm at 65" wms-wms

 

To be honest I don't remember. I saw it a few years ago when I was researching long travel builds. I just thought it was interesting. Just the fact you have a fab housing shows you done your home work. I like seeing different things. Seeing your set up caught my interest. There is always something to learn. I hope you don't think I was criticizing. I wasn't. I'm looking forward to the outcome.

 

If your rims are 10" wide then your tires should at least 11.5 wide.
12.5 is perfect
