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

It'll match your future mesh nicely!

 

Yes indeed!

 

Thanks for the offer, but I will need to do more research to see if I can use it. I might be wholly different because pre 2003 were mechanical throttle, not electronic throttle.

 

Went to.my local off road store today and inquired about putting a Detroit Locker in the rear axle . Also looked into having a 3.5" long travel suspension mfgd by total chaos fabrication installed . Will more than likely have this done in the next 2 weeks

 

So it begins... Can't be too hard can it... Putting on kings

 

very easy for the front. As long as your old hardware come out, should be a breeze.

 

Isn't that what we always hope for, my friend.

 

Who needs bushings anyway.... Sooo my kings are set to tall it fit... Sway bar or uca?

 

them are still good.

Get a long pry bar and pull down on the uca. You might need a friend to help. In my case I have no friends and used a sandbag on the end of a 7' bar.

It will also help a great deal to remove the swaybar. Might as well do it now as you will most likely do it anyway.

 

you'll gain 1" of lift with a new bushing alone.

 

Sad huh... I might have to wait for my dad to get home to finish this, not a huge deal. I think my kings are set to 3ish soo they'll need to come down a little haha

 

it won't matter where the coil collar is set, the shock will still be the same length.
They are lifted and therefore a bit longer than stock, so it's normal to have to pry down on the UCA to get the LCA to drop far enough to get that bottom bolt in.

 

And again, removing the swaybar will make the lca drop a lot easier.

 

I need to come down about 1/2 an inch is all.... Just can't get it to all line up. Keep tryin at it

 

Just this bolt on this side I guess huh

 

yes. In the center of the stud you have pictured, if you clean out the mud, you will see a hex for an allen wrench.
You will need to allen wrench to hold the stud while you loosen the nut.
Spray it first with something oily.

 

I thought you needed UCAS if your going to use your coilovers to lift it

 

Picked up a front skid today from @Silver02Taco. Got it all bolted up. It's nice to have that front diff protected. Thanks again man.

 

Yea no lie. Just a bunch of stuff I don't want smashed by a rock. I ended up not even painting it too. Once I washed it looked fine. Just got some nice bolts and bolted her up. And the ones u have me were a size to big. Think they are m10 and the holes are m8.

 

Uh oh. That's not good. Want me to send them to you?
