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

Yeah, do it. It made me happy to get new genuine keys made.

 

Cleans up real nice

Just need to get an all black bumper for full stealth mode !

 

Its a pickup, not a fork lift.

I've been driving these trucks for almost 20 years, poor turning radius is not one of the things that ever bothered me.

Ive felt its on par with most smaller trucks ive been able to drive but next to my dads car yeah it sucks

 

Hey that is real nice! Do you have any more details about this? More pics or a wrote up? I need to get a platform goin for my pooch this spring

 

Well this morning I cruised out of the apartment about 10 fish and loaded up for going to the ski resort down the street. Hopped in the truck and turned the key... nada.

Haven’t driven it in three days and battery was pretty old... thinking the cold officially killed it.

Went to auto zone to pick up a optima but they were out of stock.. of course.

Picked up one of there durmast gold batteries (750 cold crank) with a 5 year warranty

 

Batteries are only made by a few companies in the US. I personally buy Walmart batteries for the warranty. They have amazing consumer reviews.

 

Yea I went with this one mainly for the 5 year warranty

..never had a better last that long

 

Think about getting a 6 inch lift on my tacoma. Any recommendations on brand?

 

Buckle up......

 

Yes.

None.

they all suck ass and aren't worth a penny of your hard earn money. Don't bother with it.

You don't gain any ground clearance at all from them as they just lower the front diff with a huge ugly ass bracket.

Get something else.

 

Somebody mention a db lift?

 

You don't want to do that lift. You will absolutely hate driving the thing. Listen to what others are saying and keep the lift mild. You will actually love the truck more if you do the lift mild.

 

I see you have a Prerunner, perhaps a 4 inch spindle lift.

 

Except he's a prerunner...

 

I do think its less than other vehicles, but its a trade off. You don't see a lot of worn out steering racks as you do on other vehicles.

My second gen Tundra turns much sharper than the Tacoma, but I also believe it the reason the Tundras have a documented high rack replacement rate.

Its a trade off.
