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

I have OME Sport Nitrochagers all around with 883 coilovers, Dakar leafs with AAL and rake!!

 

I give up, looked at it from every angle...what are we looking at?

 

Rear bumper step, specifically the horrid (surface?) rust and absence of paint.

 

oh, lol, I'm used to seeing them with chrome and rust.

 

That's what I plan on getting eventually but with Allpro expedition instead. How does it ride?

 

Its a little stiff right now, considering I only have 110lbs on the front, and no rear bumper. Once a winch is in and I get a rear bumper, which will hopefully happen sometime! It will ride nice!!

 

Cut and bent a piece of aluminum to mount the fuse box and relays. A lot more clean than when they were just laying in there.

 

Well that's where I'm nervous, I'm gonna get the 883s but don't have a bumper and Skid plate. I'm trying to plan ahead. Going to get bumper and skid eventually...

 

I would recommend, getting 882's they will still keep the 2 1/2 -3in lift but be soft as well. Do you know how much everything will end up weighing?

 

No sir. I think the all pro bumper is around 180#+winch+skid plate.

 

then maybe 883's are for you. Just depends what you want for looks and ride!

 

I've been trying to be very careful with what I go with. I don't have much room to screw up on my budget... Did you get the shocks and coils pre assembled or do it yourself?

 

P

Pre assembled!

 

Alrighty thanks for your help.

 

I have 883s as well. 883s without a bumper are stiff, but it isn't unbearable. I drove like that for 3-4 months before I got my plate bumper.
883s with a bumper were a lot better.
883s with bumper and winch are perfect.

 

I don't think it can be a ton worse then what I'm dealing with now. Man hole covers at 45 feel like freakin speed bumps.

 

You'll definitely feel them still, but it isn't the end of the world. I think 882s or 883s will suit your future plans well.

 

I need some help sourcing materials.
1. Satoshi grill mod. Where can I get the grill material?

2. Green silicon vacuum hoses. Green seems to be harder to find. I need some that is proven not to collapse.
