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

I actually have had good luck with Off Road Solutions high angle cv boots!

 

Found them but I think it's weird I found these boots half the price on a different site.

 

How many mile have those boots lasted so far?

 

Ummmm I think around 12,000 miles! You might check SDHQ Off Road for those 930's too.

 

Will do, btw I read I had to extended the boot over the hub when imstalling. Is this necessary?

 

This happened a week ago while parked outside a friends place. Sons a bitches.

 

Yeah I may need to get out there and make some adjustments before I paint. I basically just don't want the tire to touch it at all so I won't have to worry about a slicing situation.

ROLL TIDE!!!!!!!

 

f is for....idk. four wheel drive? haha

the 150 is for the 2wd trucks...so..idk.

 

You mean the boot slide mod? Its not necessary but highly recommended to keep the fins on the boots from touching! If that's what you are talking about!

 

Well I guess that's kinda self explanatory...I think...lol

 

Should I do a diff drop to help with cv angles?

I got the heaviest coils thinking the 3.4 will help way it down. Should they settle some? Is a bumper the best option?

I am putting a cap on the bed soon. That wpnt be very heavy and all in the back, so what is my next step for weoght in the front?

No driveline vib and no cv vibe..up to 70 mph at least.

 

Fabbed up some brakets at work...these are called BLUE PRINTS. LOL

 

You guys need to stop saying the diff drop doesn't help with angles. It does help.
No it doesn't drop it an inch, more like just over half an inch due to the rear pivot bolt.
I removed my drop kit last summer out of curiosity, and noted without the kit my cv boots rubbed and with it back in they did not. (it's back in by the way) I should have taken pics because they would have put a stop to this.

 

Hard part is that LED's and HID's are on slightly different spectrums. Wattage changes color on HID's as the higher wattage can drown out some color.



Hardest part I think for me will be trying to make all my HID and LED colors match when everything's on because I'm anal like that.

 

It worked on my boots but I used the flange from the stock boot with a clamp and then whet over the new boot with another clamp!

 

Sounds like it wouldn't at all lol

 

Guessing I'm better off using my old boot clamp but what do you mean by flange?

 

The end of the old boot you are cutting:




I used a 1" diameter external retaining ring like shown in the pic to hold mine in place. Couldn't source the c clips locally.

This!

 

Can we meet in the middle and call it a diff rotater?

I still think it's a bit of snake oil as the benefits you see in the CVs aren't worth the cost of having low hanging diff mounts that could cause damage or interfere with skid plates.
