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

I go back and forth till my driveshaft zerks are facing down and just a hair to the pass side... helps a ton!

I have a cheap harbor freight gun with the giant end they all come with and personally I think it works great. no fuss and I do mine every other oil change.

 

If you're going to get the OME coils get the OME shocks too, they pair much better ride wise.

 

@Speedytech7 I went to wheelers off road, and I asked them what kind of coils to get they said Old Man EMU 2881 Coils would be good with the belstein 5100's.

Btw how to I reply to your reply?

 

Truth. Mine have held up awesome over the years... 881's with the nitrocharger sports. match made in Aussie heaven

 

Press quote in the bottom right of one of my posts.

They will pair, meaning they fit and function but OME has designed their shocks with appropriate valving for their springs and our trucks and the ride will be much less harsh if you use them in conjuction with each other.

 

He has come back a lot recently. Got on here for a little, FB is super active and even Instagram.

I'd say that $800 is about right, I paid about $700 shipped for a hybrid one of his

 

They're bare heads. no valves, not buckets. Only valve guides and the caps with bolts.. and spark plug tubes come with in a baggie

 

Where can I get a set of OME?

 

Wheelers off-road

 

Wheelers Off-road has the front coilover shocks that you can pair with any of their (OME) springs.

 

well thats impressive. i see the balls from the huge bearing, what did you break? Never broke a double setup before lol

Hmmmm...to spend or to not spend...that is the question... @BYJOSHCOOK. Is it worth the 10 holes or however many lol

 

You lacking for space?

 

Well that's neat. I'd like to see what my truck looks like haha.

 

Yupp, OME goes best with OME. Part of why I'll be going full OME.

 

Same, besides gaskets and lubricants. Talking about lubricants should I flush my tranny with Toyota transmission fluid? Read somewhere saying that toyota ATF type-4? Isn't really good for our trannys. See if I can find a link to it somewhere tomorrow.

 

Think he was referring to Old Man Emu (OME) not Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) And sorry I'm no help, have no idea about the ATF

 

Yeah what LogCabins said ^
I meant Old Man Emu, in reference to what I will be upgrading/lifting my suspension with.

As for the ATF, I haven't a clue. I've got a manual trans. The only ATF that's called for in my truck is for the power steering.

 

Lol..

 

I think it is, it's nice to be able to put stuff into a plano case like tools/spare parts. Keeps them from rattling around a tool box or taking up valuable cab space.
