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

More pictures of your dual set up... the mount... where your overflow went etc

 

I added a leaf but it is way to stiff, i intend on removing them and either use Dakar or Deaver 10 leaf with maybe 5 inch shackles. I inquire of the axle adjustment because I want 255/85/16 BFG tires which will fill the wheel well for sure.

 

Your an 01-04. And a double cab.

Get the relocation plates, you'll need them.

3/4'' forward work perfect for me and many others. Im running 255/80r17s..same size as you just a 17'' rim.

 

My son and i were drinking coors light and crown that night. We did not take pictures of the battery mount but we welded a plate to the toyota and then welded a vertical plate and tab with hole for bolt to squeeze the top hold down metal piece. The top piece is simply bent and hooked under the edge lol and bolted on other side. Because the battery on sale was larger then optima red top for my 04 tacoma, we had to do away with stock over-flow catch and replace with mountain dew plastic bottle for now lol. I will take better pictures tomorrow and post them here so you can laugh with us about our welds while FWD fabricating while drunk lol

 

Thank you Monte

 

this ^^^

 

Thanks. That's enough to make me want to do it now. I like it with the texture too. I might start out with the red scotchbrites and see how much effort it takes. Definitely post up when you're finished with the sandpaper. If the smooth doesn't come out too bad, I might have to steal that idea from you.

 

Mike that photo with the mountains in the background is awesome.

 

those things look tiny.

 

Thanks Curt. That is from our adventure this summer in British Columbia. Glacier country.

What? The bottle of Crown?

 

No the batteries

 

Yeah, I commented on that earlier. One looks like a group 34/78. Not sure what the other, smaller one is. It is interesting that both are red tops.

 

Yea not my first choice for duals. But it works I guess

 

Well I did a full rebuild on my 3rz and installed a stage 3 clutch system

Chassis saver clean up immediately if you rub with Saliva and clean rag.

 

Got my new setup put on today!

 

How big are those wheels and tires?

 

I haven't yet, it's a bit off. I believe I just need to add some axle shims to center it.

Very cool. That would be a dream...what do you ride?
