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

I see. You could save up and get this.

 

Have fun when it comes time for a front skid haha

You may have to cut that off and re-weld it flush so an aftermarket skid mounts correctly. I still need to take my front skid off and trim some off the front where it bolts at. Pushes the bumper forward a little bit.

 

I love my 882's! They ride sooo good with the bumper and they have good flex under compression! They are just a good suspension system that isn't too expensive! A lot of people have problems with 5100's but there are also people who love them but I went ome route because the nitrocharger sports have never had a bad review and I didnt want to chance it with 5100's

 

That's the kit I bought!

 

Ha, it was difficult enough just to get my stock one on... But I plan on making my own skidplate so I'll make sure it fits nice with how it's setup now.

 

Yeah, Relentless' mounting point for skids is tucked in closer to the subframe than OEM in my opinion.

 

I also just got new leaf springs, so I figured the A.L.L. Would be good enough for now. Wheres the best place to get the lift? I can't find one that gives the options of 882's...

 

When you order from wheelers you put it in the notes during checkout!

 

I cleaned up the front end abit , temporary refresher before any major surgery. That stock grill and yellowed headlight look on every other first gen started to kinda irk me

 

It just provides a salt-barrier essentially. I don't think it necessarily "repels" anything. But it does form a protective layer.

 

Do what tacovio said. And just fyi it a.a.l (add a leaf) not a.l.l

 

Duh. It made sense in my head for some reason.

 

It's just a tacky coating that doesn't let stuff get to the frame.

Similar to how people used to spray oil on frames to prevent crap from getting to the metal.

 

You should see 11-12v on an non running truck on the ground wires. The black ones.

You won't see anything on the signal wires unless the truck is running.

Not really.

Dispite what mike said the boss coil overs are based off a 5100 but they are valved different and are a bigger body, closer to the new 6100 or a tundra 5100 size wise. And have a bigger shock shaft.

The original Toytech coil overs are literally 5100s that are just adjustable with nice top hats.

All one has to do to know this is read the descriptions on the products...

Toytech clearly says the coil overs are just 5100s. But they also tell you all the differences on the BOSS coilovers.

Either way.

I wouldn't get either pair. Or OME. Just save up and get a nice set of kings/ads/fox/icon/saw. So worth it.

 

This. More then likely your going to want to get them at some point. Look for a used pair. Maybe after I rebuild mine I will sell them to you...

 

Stretched her legs and tested the 4wd in mud. It works awesome even

Thank you sir. Instead of just disconnecting the battery for the reset I cleared it with my app. So far now no codes and the truck is running good.

 

That's a ton of money to drop on something unneeded, it'd take like 2 years of saving as the poor highschooler I am.

 

Work alot over the summer and don't waste your money on junk.

 

Oil field towns don't have a ton of work right now ha. Believe me I work as much as I can.
