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

Yup that and the outer, did it all since we were in there.

It was pretty straight forward, went to my buddies who had a press to get it out. Then just used a pipe to smash everything on. Hardest part was getting the fucking snap ring out took like 20 minutes

 

can mount things on it like lights but its mostly just to look good
and if I don't like it Ill just cut it off and grind it all down, but ill probably like it

 

Gotcha. Good to know. It's a bumper I've considered, and I hadn't thought about filling in the gap before.

 

congrats man, you made it further than most. Please show others the light. Word.

 

was it one of those small hydraulic jack presses? I was thinking about just making my own for stuff like this especially hearing ppl say it costs so much to have things pressed in and out

Ive only seen it done twice but it looks really good imo. the bumper in general is a great, quality bumper, and can't beat the price

 

Yeah there's no way I would pay somebody for that. Cost me like $200 with all OEM parts with a payment of a 12 pack for the owners fee ha. Plus I learned a ton

Yeah that's what he had, 20 ton press IIRC

 

Replaced the rear diff breather today. Very easy, 14mm wrench. Here is the part # in case someone wants to know.

 

I miss my truck...so far 10 wks I've been gone, gotta make it till Christmas.

 

Should of just did the extension mod.

 

Built first gens are just so sexy

 

That was fast, I got home like 10mins ago. Had a great time today guys, thanks! @m3bassman @gordi

 

Same, ha lots of seat time a shower was awesome!

 

Bout to take one and go to bed

 

Can't wait to wash the truck!

 

WEDNESDAY!

 

Finally installed these after having them for 2 months. Way harder than the 2nd Gens. I'll upgrade to OME's once I have the money together

 

Is a lift required for uniball UCAs? Would it mess with the alignment if you used them with no lift whatsoever?

 

I can't imagine spending $700+ on uca's and not using it to it's full potential

 

No lift and stock suspension would be pointless but what about coilovers set at factory ride height?

 

only if they where extended travel. Otherwise not sure it would be worth it.
