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

Greased my shafts and gave her a bath this morning. Installed my bumpstops last night since I had replaced my LCA's.


So I have wheelers bumpstops up front. Do ya'll think I need to install the OEM hockey pucks in the rear of the LCA? I don't think I need them so I was going just install a small bolt to cover the hole and prevent shit from getting in.

 

I would put them in as a hard stop to prevent bottoming out the coilovers. With how the superbumps hit on our trucks it hard to figure a definite point where they will stop the uptravel.

 

Yeah the radio aspect is the worst of it all. There is only one station I listen to (103.3) so I just leave it at that for the radio portion. I don't even have it set as a preset. I did one time, and then I had to unhook the battery and now I a cbf to figure it out again. It's awful when I accidentally switch to the list of presets. It's a mission getting back to just the radio. I've had to look the manual up online to figure out how to do things.
It does have some features I like, like autoconnect for bluetooth. But if my phone is not near my truck when I turn it on or if turn the truck off (or stall, like a dumbass) and turn it right back on without waiting, my phone will not connect. It's either connect without issue right away or don't connect at all. I do like the remote, though. It's nice having volume and track control there, as well as on the unit itself. And that lights off feature is great. Not forced to endure some disco lights nonsense. Oh and the unit looks nice.

But yeah, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I haven't looked around, but I have no doubts there are other units that offer the same good features but without the shitty UI and buggy bluetooth.

 

Ok cool! I guess no harm in installing them as a back up!

Thanks man!

 

Oil change time! Mobile 1 full synthetic, OEM oil filter and a Fumoto oil valve going on/in!

 

what should i do next? front plate bumper or TC ucas. bumper i want is either the relentless or the allpro

 

I don't have extended coil overs but I want to upgrade them lol. But they can wait really. I want to do both at the same time but I can only do one thing at a time lol wish I hit the lottery I'd probably through about $30k into my truck

 

Well Relentless will take half a year or more to get here. Unless you weld it yourself so....

 

30k. Pffff

Id have that gone just ordering random stuff off the internet in an evening.

 

Ive got experience with their bars, pods, and hids. Never had an issue. Their c2 bars are visably brighter than the standard ebay bars. Never used their cheaper bar though.

 

Lmao well 30k would go by fast cause I'd put a 2016 tundra v8 with a supercharger lol. Just so I can be like mad max fury road V8! V8! V8! lol

 

Triturbo cummins setup should do nicely. Probably lift one front wheel off the ground a couple feet from the little taco frame handling the torque.

 

Or have a feeling in a washing machine on the spin cycle lol

 

I did bumper first and I regret it...

 

Whys that

 

Cause now it looks like I'm hitting my brake all the time, I don't wanna level it out and have my alignment all out of wack.

 

I got a bumper first and don't regret it at all, stock UCA handled fine. Really didn't see much off a difference when I got aftermarket UCAS besides the alignment numbers.

 

It's not because of how they held up its because of I don't wanna lift my front end higher with out new ucas because of e alignment, I should have spent the money on ucas instead of the bumper.

 

He's got extended travel coilovers IIRC
