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

Before the install I measured from the bottom of my center cap to the center of the wheel well to be about 25.75 inches up front. In the rear from bottom of center cap to center wheel well was about 26.5 inches. After 5100s installed all around I got 28 inches exact from bottom of center cap to center wheel well across the board. I used a one inch block in the back to fit the 5100 rear shocks. Eventually I'm going to replace the blocks with a new leaf pack but my funds need to purchase new tires for winter first.

 

Yes it is

 

Thanks. I went with the 1.25" setting but I'm not sure what I actually yielded because I didn't measure before.

 

Yeah at first I was weary of setting it at the 2.5 level but it ended up working out perfectly.

 

Without shell and put that rack on the roof.

 

What size spare is that? wondering what size can actually functionally fit under there

 

255 r16 or something like that. IIRC

 

Life time garentee for any failure on them boots or other wise. Right now I'm good with that. They are Toyota remans.

 

-new driver cv axle
-installed Deaver pack
-shock relocation & upper crossmember & lower shock mounts
-wheelers bumps
-cycled everything
-u bolt flip kit

Then had to play with the forklift

 

You miss-tagged me so I never saw this
It's just my blog I'm going to start dumping my projects on and life related things.
Not only do I do and build a lot of random shit but being in the business I am I get to experience a lot of things people dream of. I figured why not put stuff out there for everyone to see!

 

Yep, 255/85/16

 

Awesome bro!! Got any closer pics of the shocks mounts and stuff?

 

I was looking for this info on your build thread yesterday but I couldn't find it. How much cutting/hammering etc did you need to do to clear that size tire? Thanks bro.

 

Did you use s relocation kit or just put together ur own?

 

I didn't cut anything. I just took off those tire bracket things and pressed them until they bent out enough.

 

My water pump blew last week so I ordered a full Timing/Water pump kit. Hope to get in done in a week or two...

Any thoughts on what coolant to refill with? Toyota (Red/Pink) or any generic coolant will do? It had green coolant in it when I bought it... I'm not sure if it makes much difference.

 

Red for sure

 

I use the semi green universal stuff. But mine hadn't had a trace of Toyota pink in years by the time I got it. If you have pink, I'd just put pink in

 

I've been using whatever is on sale. This argument had no winner.

 

Niiiiiiiiice!!!!!
