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

There's an old saying "You can pay now, or you can pay later". Might as well just save up for the right things rather than waste money on a lift that is unsellable when your done with it in a month or two.

 

Neither blocks or AAL. Just wait and buy the springs once you have the money.

 

That was the original plan but 110$ every two weeks - 2ish tanks of gas so 60 to 70$... That's a depressing amount of time. Thank goodness summer and lawns that need cut are coming.

 

And buying a block or AAL will just extend that time further...

 

This is true

 

Better to wait. I'm lifted up front with no lift in the rear and doing just fine.

 

I have kings Ready to put on just waiting on spanner wrench, should be Wednesday

 

I found mud and also an unsettling clicking noise in the front driver side.

 

This.

 

Hub bearing maybe or your cv's? Was it in 4wd?

 

Still does it with hubs unlocked and out of 4wd, whenever I compress the front end a lot. Might be coil hitting spring, but I don't see wear marks, could be a shitty BJ (lol). I'll have to put a gopro down there next time to check it out. Hub bearings are tight and otherwise silent when on the street.

 

Compressed ha. Hmmmm maybe balljoints then i dont know what else it would be. Couldn't be cv binding that wouldn't make sense. Mystery click.

 

Definitely think my nitrochargers are the limiting factor here lol.

 

They are super short for the stock location.

 

Yeah well I have some 10" fox 2.0's waiting to go on! Gotta buy some 1.75" tubing and some plate and i will be relocating at the same time!!

 

Then you'll be good to go. I gotta wait to relocate, first week of summer break is when I'll likely do it. But my 10-11" 5125s will have to do for another year, they are plenty fine plus I'm gonna triangulate so that will make them a bit less harsh.

 

not true. blocks will ride the same as stock. now axle wrap is a whole other story. if you need a bit of lift, you can do some cheap almost free stuff. make some longer shackles or make the lift blocks yourself.

 

Stock=Shitty still lol. But yeah axle wrap would be pretty bad.

 

I'm waiting till summer too I think. Only 2 more weeks!!!!!!!!

 

Something like 6 or 7 for me
