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

What shocks do you have up front?

 

Ome with 881 coils

 

If your drifting on the road. That's an alignment issue.

Or your shocks are shot

 

I've been meaning to get an alignment cuz I've got some pretty positive camber so I guess I'll give that a shot and try goin without the sway bar again. Can't be my shocks tho they are barely 6 months old.

 

No sway is fun, kinda throws off people that aren't use to it on round a bouts and such.

 

Well if you lifted it and then didnt get and anigment. That's your issue. The main one anyways.

It is different and you have to drive a tad differently. But it is so so worth it.

 

anyone interested in a 01 to 04 center console or trim peices?

 

If you've got good condition tan side seat cover things, I'll take em!

 

I think those have been gone for a good while. had buckets before

 

Ha yeah, and you all are talking about firm rides with eibachs and whatnot.. Y'all have no idea. Lol.

 

Installed new headlights with integrated corner lights, and wired in LED daytime running lights.
I like it.

 

Hope you sealed them up better. Those are prone to leaking. Like, a lot. As in, a puddle of water not just condesation. Ask how I know. Lol

 

That aint a lift poly spacer btw. just the one used with the rancho struts.

 

Jackson? And yeah ditch the sway. I took mine off and never looked back. On ramps have to be taken a little slower but that's about it.

 

Thanks for looking out, I'll take a look at these and see what I can do.
These are made into the headlights, they're by Spyder.

 

You installed the jiggle valve exactly how it should be. When I did my timing belt and water pump a few months back, and after watching several videos on it where they said to install the thermostat with the jiggle valve at 12, I installed it with it at 12. After doing so, I noticed that my truck was running warmer around 198-204 F. I tried flushing it, tried running it with just straight water and some of cooling additive for a short while, and checked the cooling system pressure swapped out radiator caps, made sure my radiator wasn't clogged-- all these things yielded no improvement on the running temperature. The last thing I tried was switching the jiggle valve position on the thermostat to 6 oclock. That was it. It did the trick. Now my running temps range form 188-192.

There are plenty of threads where people have had the same experience.

 

What's the steering shaft tack weld mod?

 

Yup, same old. And Yea ill probs take it off when I get an alignment.

 

Nice work. What is the difference in installing the jiggle valve at 6 vs 12?

 

Did the new bushings help keep the doors from slamming on you? Also, where did you order the bushing from?
