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

So they don't offer the kit in black and will be in the near future she said but it's only been like a month or two she said they have offered them and as for a group buy she said that they don't offer anything like this at all which is a bummer. So I think I might just buy the red ones then paint them black for the extra protection Instead of buying the plain ones... now on to buying tires...to go with 265 or 285 is now the question to look into..any opinion on either?

 

Not a lot of opinions on that topic on this forum I'm afraid.

 

Get better soon!

 

Damn that sucks! Go 285s if you plan to wheel it. I got 265s and regret it

Only got 265s because I couldn't afford 285s at the time and needed new tires

 

It is a bitch, take your time and go thru the side.

Also, save yourself a Metric sh!t ton of money and just rebuild it. The bushings and spring are super easy to replace and cost ~$9.

 

So if I do the 285s then pinch well mod is required correct? Even on prerunner right...

 

which wheels?

 

I got these... from a 4runner they are 17" , and just bought brake lines from wheelers as they said no mods are needed to do the conversion..let's hope he's right

 

I wanna say do that and just beat the shit outta it with a BFH

 

Lmao bought a 5 lb sledge a while ago lol

 

Yes.

 

Not today but yesterday. Took the truck out for its first mountain 4x4 since all the work got done on it. Flexed it out.

 

Got an Amazon order in today. Among its contents was the torque wrench I ordered.:

$39 TEKTON 1/2" Drive Micrometer Torque Wrench (10-150 ft.-lb.) | 24335

Decided to set my lug nuts to spec. Most of the wheels weren't too much over, but the rear passenger side...goddamn. Just to loosen them I and to use my legs. No idea why that wheel was torqued so tightly. All are in spec now. 83 lbs/ft, correct?

 

I've got this clunk, well I've got many, but this one's new, when I hit the brakes in reverse I get a clunk. I thought it might be drive line or suspension, but it seems to brake pads shift a good amount as the brakes are applied. Might be an easier fix then I thought, but they're relatively new brakes...

 

Spring break loose some how..

 

cleaned the MAF sensor and throttle body as well as dielectric greased all fuses and electrical connections... seems to sound different but only drove 18 miles since ... touchier exhaust note change on throttle input.

 

Spring brake?

 

How about some weak lawn mower curb flex for your Monday.

 

Rear brakes ? Spring break inside or come loose

 

No front. Pretty sure either the pins are loose or the holes have worn, I haven't turn into it yet though.
