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

That's good news!

 

So will I be okay if I make a plate and silicone it to cover the e locker actuator hole in the diff?

 

Yeah I got my arm covered a bit. Ha

Yeah I had mine off, so I would've left it until I had to take the skid off

 

ADS 10" shocks for Total Chaos outboard mounts. Piggyback and rebound valve clocked to the rear. Compression valve clocked to the front.

 

What did you put in it? That's one thing I have always wanted to do to my taco.

 

Cummins 6bt. It's the best mod I've done to a truck so far. Next I think I'm gonna build a Cummins el Camino.

 

Just ordered a bunch of truck stuff! Some repairing items from wheelers in order to put my lift on my new truck oh and some trailhead deflators! Then some cb items and finally a smittybilt winch gen 2 9.5k synthetic! All thanks to insurance and my 04! R.I.P!

I was wanting to go the 4bt route. Do you have any pictures of the 6bt in the truck? Did you have to move the fire wall back to fit the 6bt?

 

Love my trailhead deflators

 

They just operate as a click set right? Each click is like 1.5 psi?

 

Check out my build. I have a few in there. I didn't modify the firewall at all. The bitches don't agree with how I swapped in my Cummins, but fuck em.

The way you ended up doing it is a lot smarter than how you originally were going to go about it.

 

What wheel and tire setup are you running to hope to outboard those successfully? Don't want to see pictures of tires rubbing those pretty shocks at full flex. I have like 1" between the frame and tire on mine at full flex.

 

Think I saw this in another thread

 

Finally finished carpeting my shell. Holidays, family, work, kids... they can all be a pita when it comes to trying to do projects.

Buddy of mine came over and helped me put it back on.

I am working on a writeup for my build page, I want to get a finally picture of it installed, but it was getting dark and wet when I finished.

 

I think that was the smartest way to do that. No frame reinforcing.

 

The kit requires 1.25" spacers so there's that. Tires are 265/75R16. Also I have clocked the piggyback and valves to minimize the width of the shock.





It helps that the shocks slope forward so they don't fall between the peak of the tire and the frame. At the end of the day I don't really know how they will look at full stuff since I've never seen this kit before. I'll be sure to post pics though.

 

To adjust them you'll start by turning the adjusting screw counter clockwise until it's even with the end of the body tube. This will set pressure at the lowest end of the adjustment range. Every complete turn clockwise will increase pressure about 1.5psi for the 5-20psi
range, and 3psi for the 15-40psi range.

I guessed what it would take to bring them down to 12.5psi the first time and got lucky. Haven't touched them since.

 

Yeah, I've got 1.25" spacers as well. Hopefully it'll work with your little tires, but the problem is that 5" between the tire and the frame gets a lot less when the axle is at an angle.
