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

Interesting, makes sense.

Oh, okay. That's what I thought it did. That's the only advantage I see of the Bud Built over Skid Row since Bud Built goes all the way to the gas tank.

But, both need reinforcement regardless for hard wheeling like y'all have said.

 

Just ordered the CSO46RA and CSO46RB on Amazon...360.92 and free shipping. Did get the right parts?

I feel like I should have asked wheelers to match that but I had a 100$ amazon gidt card to use.

 

Manage to track down all 12 wheel studs. Ready to put these TG super axles in on monday.
Just praying I got the correct bearings/seals.

 

Here's how it sits currently with the new OME heavy lift with dakars +extra leaf and 881's, TC uppers.

 

Looks bigger than 2.5 inches. But there's 300lbs of recovery gear in the tool box, 100lbs for the tire and tiregate and 150 lbs of sand in the bed.
That's more than my old yamaha R1 I used to tote around by 100 lbs.

 

One of my license plate bulbs was out, so I replaced them both with slightly brighter bulbs. Eventful day.

 

That's a good lookin' truck! Is that an all pro bumper? I keep thinking I may be in the market for a bumper, and the ap's keep catching my eye.

 

This was yesterday, but I finally got 33" MT/Rs on 15" Cragar D-Window Wheels...

Before:



After:



I'm more than please with the new stance, look, and ride

 

I've ordered 01 mirrors, new plugs and wires.

 

Did a little bit of offroading today!

 

Got 2 inches this morning.

CumTits.

 

Truck looks great. Are you running wheel spacers?

Truck is looking awesome Troy. Love the stance.

 

Found a new parking spot at a friends place.

 

I put antifreeze in. I have running distilled water with Purple Ice for the last 3 yrs and 55k miles. Seeing I am now working in the cold country, I figured it was time to put something I trusted a little more than water and ice.

Also mocked up and glued my pvc washer fluid reservoir. Coping Monte, but tweeked it to work with the low fluid sensor. No pics to post today, maybe Monday when I actually install it and hook everything up.

Pulling the shell off on Monday too, going to finally get it carpet lined. Doing it myself, so will have pics to post when done.

 

Did you order OEM mirrors? I've read that some people have issues with rattling after swapping mirrors that weren't OEM.

 

I have mirrors off rock auto (non OEM). I haven't got any rattles or noise from them.

 

Anyone have any thoughts on running my intake to the bed? Will the pressure vacuum science engineering crap pose a problem even with a larger diameter tube?

 

Where to in the bed? Why do you want it to the bed?

I don't see why it would hurt to put it in the bed except for all the additional bends and stuff to get back there.

 

The theory is the same as exhaust in reverse the longer and bendier the tubing the harder to suck through. But I doubt you'll lose much if any power, I also doubt you'll gain anything either besides a long tube to damage.

 

Huh that's cool. I didn't mean to assume anything I was just warning him in case he experiences rattling. Now that I think about it, I have a 2000 with the bigger mirrors so I don't know if the previous owner did a mirror swap or they started using the bigger mirrors or what.
