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

Oh... well enjoy your new tires.

 

Damn those are expensive.

 

$100? Seems cheap to me

What did you expect to pay?

 

Not $100 lol

 

try @Croth51 he makes some pretty cool stuff. i got my ditch light mounts and cb antenna mount from him and its all pretty legit.

 

Went to pick up lunch and apparently someone took one of those AEV jeep brute. To the badlands, which isn't to far from where I work. Thing lost its side mirrors and fender flares. And all I can think of was why take something that large to the badlands to ruin. But hey not my money.

 

Pew pew



Before

After

 

Battery died. Got stranded and had to get boosted by a ranger. This is second time this happened. It randomly drops to about 9 volts Within an hour or so of sitting. After a boost it works perfect after and can be left for days at a time and still start.

 

Sooo. I should flip them?? Lol

 

Looks good...but woulda been easier to remove them brotha...lol

 

Needed to paint the sliders to

 

Ahh yes....i usually just get a big ass piece of cardboard and run it along as i spray....overyspray is a bitch tho..lol

I admire your dedication

 

I have 3" in the front w/ a 1.5" AAL in the back and am looking to replace the factory leaf pack since it has 245,000 miles on it. Not sure if I should go with a Progressive 3 leaf 1.5" AAL Pack or a Progressive 3 leaf pack that lifts the rear 2" with the overload out and 2.5" with it in. I'll be taking the overload out. I like the Headstrong progressive 3 leaf pack since it's free shipping and lifts it 2" with the overload spring out. But I don't want a raked truck. I only found threads about this on 2nd gens which are heavier than 1st gens. Can someone point me in the right direction? Maybe some pictures with both set ups on 1st gens? I don't ever haul stuff either. Thanks in advance!

 

I would, personally... but your truck, your tires.

It's possible they are not really a functional asymmetrical design, but Goodyear markeing said they must be in order to force the white letters???

 

Fuck it..20 bucks and ill get them flipped...maybe ill paint the letters black

 

This is why I like my bfg ko2's cause by the looks of the tread pattern it doesn't matter white letters or not lol

 

Just found out my inner cv boot is torn on my passenger side... Anyone know where i can buy new boots + rebuilt kit? and also should i replace both inner and outer boots?

 

Sdhq sells a good pair of boots......i actually have a pair of inners that i never used...pm me and make an offer. I can mail them out monday

 

Hmmm? I live in a mountain town (big bear lake, ca) and there are a TON of off road clubs that frequently come up here to wheel, Mainly jeeps. I see a lot of MT-R'S mounted on these dedicated trail rigs (one of my favorite looking tires). I don't think I have even seen one set-up mounted with the white letters out? Whould this mean that everyone probably mounts them backwards like @Fernando has? Or they are just fine to run that way?

 

I haven't looked at mtr's' however I know certain sizes come with white letters, while others do not. So the ones you are seeing could quite possibly be a size that isn't offered with white letters.
Sometimes the same tire size can be had with or without white letters as well. Very common
