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

well..that is my truck..haha

It's an Elite Offroad Bumper. No longer made anymore so can't get them. A Relentless Offroad one is similar, just doesn't have the "flow" the Elite does. It weighs about 90lbs i think or so...i can't remember. Weighs more now though as i beefed up the mounts.

 

LOL i spent a long time going through that flicker link looking at all the pictures last night and omg i love the pics and the scenery.. 90lbs dont seem like much is it for the front end even on 881's is it?

 

Thanks! Was a fun trip.

well that would be about 50lbs over stock. So you'd go from about 2'' of lift to about 1.5'' or so id guess. 881s are only 500lb coils. I had 620lb coils on my truck before the bumper and lost .5'' with those.

It only gets worse when you do skids, winch(i don't think you are doing that), maybe a second battery.

Every pound counts.

 

Check out Addicted Offroads stuff. Best looking hybrid for first gens IMO.

 

I like Bruteforce's hybrid more i think.

 

I beg to differ

^^^^what he said

 

I like both. Brute force feels more full tube than hybrid though, so I like it more because I like the look of tube over solid. But that being said since I like tube I love and went with the addicted offroad full tube.

 

Bruteforce looks really good. I wanted one but the quote was out of my budget. Went with the trailgear Low profile which was what my original plan was. really good looking bumper as well.

 

Good choices!

 

i dont see where brute force makes bumpers for a 2000. only 05 ad up.

 

You have to call him.

 

Check out the hankook dynapro m/t. I really liked them on and off road. They wear nice and aren't super expensive like an mt/r.

 

Dammmmn you didn't slice or puncture a sidewall on that trail with those taarrss! Lol (it's a duratrac joke )

 

Yeah you have to call him. Mine is a 2000 and I have a brute force

Haha nope, I got over the hill and was like "fuck! this should be interesting" but I did fine minus a few scrapes on the appropriate stuff. Pictures don't do the beginning justice

What bumper is that again?

 

Looks rough as hell!!

 

bambi basher. Is it considered a hybrid or tube?

Was fun as hell, just need bigger tires. Wish I had the coin for 285s-295's Hankooks M/Ts

 

its a tube. not a hybrid.

 

I think I'm gonna go 295's next too! They come in KO2's too just sayin lol!

 

Was AOP as rocky as they say? Keep in mind I'm used to Rausch and love Rausch's rocky style.



This is a section of a blue/black at RC. Still have full blacks and reds to try to conquer.

 

Depends on what the TW definition police is being persnickety about today.
