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

The sig pic...

 

The truck that he usually posts about has a 95-97 front end, not the one in the pic

 

ahhh thank you gents

 

Only reason I care is spring an oil leak.

 

Only oil leak I want is when I pull the filter off or loosen the bolt

 

The oil may be good for that long but how about the filter you're using? I would change the filter every 5K and just top off the oil.

 

I would be suprised if the filter went bad before the oil. Some manufacturers even recommend changing the filter every other oil change

 

Yes, I don't know why everyone doesn't own at less one 1st gen.

 

If you get a Fumitomo drain valve, then you can easily drain through the hole in the plate or route a line to the side.

With a description like that on the oil, it has to give you at least +50 torques!

 

I had to remove several leaves from mine to not have a crazy rake. As soon as I sell my house I will be going back to OME springs for the rear. My truck is 98% on road and unloaded, except for the cap and swingout. The AP expos were essentially free off my brothers truck that was crushed.

YMMV.

 

I would hope so, that is the purpose of the plate isn't it?

 

Thanks guys. Nagorbs rig doesnt look bad at all without any weight.....i already have them so fuck it, gonna run them. I hope i dont hate them lol

 

So if I already have buckets, but like the look of the tan leather, the 3rd gen 4runners will mount right on my rails of my 01 SR5? Or swap the rails and they will bolt to the same place in the floor?

 

Brand new Expos with only about 80# of bed rack in the back.

Once I'm done tubbing and regearing, my Tepui will live up there full time, along with a full size spare. I have sliders and skids and a crawl box waiting in the wings, and tube bumpers will be on within the next six months.

ETA: When I sat my 225# ass on the tailgate, the ride height dropped less than an inch.

 

The look isnt bad at all....but what about performance....how do they feel when unloaded?

 

I'll get back to you once the tubbing is done! I'm guessing pretty stiff.

 

I think the bottom one is the stock plate but Im not certain as I didnt put it on. The one that goes from the bumper area to the bottom skid is after market. The bottom skid has the drain plug access but it was in the wrong spot, when whoever worked on it last they just put the plate up with out looking at where the oil drain hole was. Thats my best guess as to why it was on backwards.

 

Thats what she said

Well, im doing my work this saturday...if the front takes to long then i will post these up for sale and go a different route....but if i have time, screw it, they're going in

 

Are you on stock leafs with an aal right now?
