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

Looks just like mine

 

Ive been through loads of threads just on this because planning 35s myself.

This is what ive been seeing.

 

Yeah, that's Tanners build you referenced. His cuts were fairly thin, and I think he still rubs a fair deal. Take a look at Monte's, it looks just the same as @jubei777

 

Guess I'm gonna have to take my truck to a shop for the brake line, some how..

 

Here's mine. Didn't cut that much apparently lol

 

Ya gotta remember too that just because the tires say they're 35s/315s doesnt mean they actually measure 35".

 

Whats wrong?

 

I think my bfg tires may run small

 

I can't get the top end of the stock line to break free.

 

Using flare wrenches?

 

No...

 

You're on lt. You don't count.

 

Don't strip the nut when you try to take it off, id recommend the flare wrench.

 

Alot of times its not a recommendation. Its a requirement for those stubborn things.

 

True, even with them i thought i was gonna strip the nut when I was taking mine off.

 

it happens. Just spin the caliper or wheel cylinder off. Or if it's the rear disconnect the other end.

Even with PB blaster, and a flare wrench if it's seized enough you will still twist the line up. But you can get an adequate length line from auto zone with fittings for $7 or so. And you can bend them easy by hand.

 

Well, that first part....

I just spent an hour and 1/2 on am that stupid shock, I hate stubborn things.

I'm trying to take the whole brake like off? Atleast that's what I think I'm supposed to be doing

 

Like this, red is new and what was replaced.

 

Yes, I have the bottom loose, stuck in the top.

 

Did you take it off the bracket?

And wear safety glasses, brake fluid in the eyes sucks.
