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

+1

 

Minivans dude...

Same reason Toyota and other manufactures sell so many DC trucks.

 

Rode in it and it felt fine...didnt drive it....maybe i should. Just saying, its a nice lil rig




My truck feels amazing now

 

Bought a new pressure washer so she got a bath and a nice bidet underneath.



Coated my line-x in a mixture of mineral spirits and trisodium phosphate. Hopefully leaving the slurry on for a day will remove all the dirty gear and engine oil I've managed to spill back there.

 

Why you haten on DCs bro.

 

Let us know if it works, I need to do that

 

Drove it to work, we have 12-14 inches of snow tonight. Not even a challenge.

 

Is this considered cheating?

 

Wtf ... yes you're a dirty cheater

 

You're right. Give me your DC I'll spare you the shame.

 

I'm not. I own 2 DC's and a 5th gen T4R for one reason, kids.

 

So the 01-04 sway bar assembly differs from my 98-00. The end links won't work.

Do you want it back? See if I can pass it on to someone? Want me to scrap it? Or don't GAF?

 

WTF!!!!

How is it different? I Don't want or need it back, pass it along or scrap it. Dealers choice.

 

It's been a busy couple of months. Here are some of the larger mods I've done to my 95 tacoma.

-Lots of fluid film. Hoping this keeps the frame protected and makes these mods worthwhile (Grainger)
-Custom leaf pack in the rear to give 3 inch lift and support some extra weight (local shop)
-Bilstein 5100s in front with eibach shocks for about 2.5 -3 inches of lift (ordered from toytec)
-ARB bull bar ($800 off Amazon with free shipping)
-Smittybilt 97495 XRC Winch 9500lb ($270 on amazon)
-1999 four wheel eagle camper

 

Different shape to the sway bar.

01-04 have the holes (at the end of the sway bar that the end links bolt to) that face outward.

The 98-00 holes face downward.

The end links I need are a 90*

The end links on the 01-04 are a "U"

I had no idea either. Thought they were he same for 95-04

 

I would also assume they are the same.
2wd vs 4wd perhaps.

 

I have the sway bar with end links, new-ish poly bushings, and the u-brackets if you want a complete setup.

 

For the older trucks?

I gave him the whole setup off the 02 which looks like this



His is different and looks like these with the pin top upper bushing.

 

No, mine's off my '01, was hoping to finally get rid of that thing. I was thinking he didn't have the endlinks. Seems like if you had the entire setup, you could replace the whole thing. The mounts on the LCA are the same, I imagine the ones on the frame are the same too.

 

That's also what I figured too.
