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

Both. It's was a kit.

 

That's even worse.
An interesting idea, not necessarily a good idea. It will work for sure, just not confident in the strength of design.

 

I have bought at least a dozen pairs of OE LBJs including a bunch from Camelback. All of them came with the hardware pack, bolts, castle nut and cotter pin. Twice they were the wrong bolts (short) and the rest were head stamped (about 50/50) " Gr 8.8" or with the code marks for Toyota "class 11T".
I firmly believe the hardware pack frequently gets pilfered at the dealer level and joints get pawned off online.

 

I agree, U-bolt flip kit for sure.

 

Finally fixed my sheared center pin. axle is now back in its place

 

Pioneer AVIC-6000NEX Install
This thing fit PERFECTLY!

 

Did your new kit not allow for centering the axle to wheel well? Dakar or Deaver kits provide an adjustment. If you go with bfg 33s, centering the rear is important.

 

My center pin was sheared, probaby from offroading. All I replace was the pin. I just have the icon aal

 

Looks great. Maybe someday I might make the $300 switch to a new radio.

 

pin is really only there for the initial alignment of axle. the ubolts probably loosened a little on you. did you retorque them after adding the aal?

 

I might be the only one that likes my Poverty Spec OEM radio

 

It's so worth it. Just being able to connect to my ipod and give us entertainment where we had no cell reception this weekend already made it worth it for me.

 

I drove it almost 1600 miles few weeks ago, into Eastern Oregon. AM reception was all Jesus channels.

I got an iPod as a gift years ago> never used it.

Then again I am a weirdo and don't listen to music, never downloaded a song, and never bought a CD

 

Ugh, I couldn't survive around here without some way of choosing my music. All the stations around here are top 40, country, or Jesus. I prefer no audio to all three.

 

town i lived in last year had no stations at all. I dont know about you guys but i suck at finding new songs i like. i end up listening to the same ones over an over till i hate them.

 

Spotify or Pandora

 

Gotta find a song you like and use a guessing service like spotify or Pandora to make you a playlist. I use spotify so I can share playlists with friends.

 

I wonder how hard it would be to import my tacoma over to japan. My goal is to live there and it would be sweet to tour the countryside with the ol girl.

 

Yep it sure was. however, I didn't re torqued after the frame swap.
