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

Well back in the day they were listed for first gens but the modifications prolly caused trouble for peeps so he pulled them. I prolly gonna need a satoshi to fit what I want.

 

Just picked up some 1/8" sheet metal for a skid plate. Yes il have to reinforce the shit out of it but it was free.

 

That is an excellent hilift mod

 

Damn wish I would've done that, I'll have to modify the mount anyways. Oh well I'm sure I can rig something up.

Yeah most people run satoshi with that mount

 

Heh, my tailgate has a small line where it kissed that bumper.

 

So, OME is squeaky. 5100's are garbage. Icons are ok, Kings are far worthy, but have to be rebuilt fairly often, fox is meh, and ADS is an orgasm in a box.

What rear set up is best for ADS?

 

That about sums up what some here would have you believe.

 

Ah..no.

OME is going tot be totally fine for most.

Kings/ads are best but still need rebuilt every now and then. But so what? All suspension comments are wear items and all needs replaced at some point.

Race truck parts make race truck noises. It's always gonna squeak. Mainly those guys are talking about the leafs I believe and leaf springs are just inherently noisey. I mean look at the design. Exposed to the elements all the time and have space in between them for shit to get it and make noise. Just how they are.

As for the second question. No idea. Depends on how you're using the truck and other things.

 

Finished product in the light. What you guys think? Passive demon eye turned out pretty good.

 

Bull bar installation this morning

 

Curious why no love for icons? I was leaning in that direction but Ya got me wondering.

 

You get that seatbelt clicker in yet?

 

All depends on what you want with your truck. Icons would be perfect especially for weekend warrior if you wanna spend that much of course

 

Well I guess I was just under the impression kings and icons where around the same quality and performance.

 

Read up on progressive versus digressive valving as well as the difference between brands:

Got the truck washed and windows tinted today! FINALLY!!

 

What Brett said, if you don't crawl a lot icons are better because of the way their valved. Which is why I said weekend warriors would do better with icon. They soften up the faster you go

 

Thanks!...ya I am still trying to learn about all the different types and uses of suspension options out there. Tons of threads on this stuff and for noobs like me it can get kind of confusing Sometimes.

 

Not a fan of digressive valving. But that's just personal. It's really hard to tune well also.

 

I ordered a set of jungle fender flares, should have them in about 10 days. Rims and bigger tires are next.
