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

No they do not do one.

 

Damn that sucks!

 

Interesting. I have never seen those bumpstops before.

 

You can use the bump stop for the front bumps, that's what I'm about to order

 

So you're gonna use those for the front suspension?

I've never checked to see if my suspension compress beyond the limits of my coilover travel. I always just assumed downtravel was restricted but uptravel was the same.

Running AP coilovers.

 

Ignore them.

The more miles there are on stock springs, the more they will sag. Making them vulnerable to rubbing issues on larger tires. Just because one truck does or doesn't rub with 32s, does not mean other stock suspesion trucks will rub the same way.

 

Yeah, they compress quite a bit. There's a few guys are running them

 

Does anybody know which way the ball joint should go to adjust the camber negatively on the light racing ucas? I pushed them in thinking that's what they should be but my camber seems worse.

 

Oh yeah that makes sense now. Never really thought of it like that. Cool

 

Hey Rob. Where did you get those clamps from?

I have been having a pita with the damn outer boot. Got a oem factory kit for the outer and the damn thing either slips from the inside clamp or spits grease from the outside clamp.. I have been using the band clamps and they seem to be super tight to where I cant even pull/ slide the boot..
I assume that pressure is just built up inside causing the slide and/or the grease spitting from the outer-most end.

I just bought the all pro outer boot and pray that it will fix this B/S..

Did you do the boot slide mod as well?

 

Post this question in this thread. Lots of experienced users of the LR UCAs in there.

Thanks!

 

Man, your setup is damn near exactly where I'd like mine to be in a few years. I'm trying hard to follow what I believe to be a logical and realistic progression, which boils down to MT for a bit. But ultimately, I want to be a linked SAS rig with an Expo bias, and I want to do as much of the work as I can on my own.

Anyway, nice work!

 

FedEx brought me this today... Should help with that rusty hardware...

 

Thanks! You really can't have both a crawler and an expo rig, but I'm trying to walk that line between the two!

 

Was gona put some whiter leds in but my new bulbs were to long. On 95-97 models you change the bulbs without removing dash with the help of a slinky armed friend. All u gota remove is outer plastic/cupholers and move the ducting behind it out of the way.

 

Took my sweet time only working Sundays but seems to be running perfect. Little exhaust leak where I had to re use a gasket since I ordered the wrong one but all in all not too bad. A little trouble with the machine shop here and there, time wise mostly. Anyways, almost on my first oil change with 0 leaks anywhere!

 

Just washed the truck for the first time since moving to a new place. So nice to have a driveway and garage. Found out I scratched and gouged my F5s. Oh well no biggie. My ifs skid plate is really badly bent now too.



Not the worst wheel but it's the only one I got a pic of...

 

Questions guys , if I wanted to take my oh sh*t handle off and mount a switch box for all my lights and stuff how hard do y'all believe that would be?

 

Depends on how good you are with fiberglass or CAD software. Sounds like an afternoon type project to me
