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

Yes! In gray! If you come across the interior gray door handle too that'd be really great.

I don't think you're gonna find a Tacoma here in Cali though... I only see them pop up at pick-n-pull a couple times a year. There's only like 2 registered in the whole pick-n-pull database for the entire state.

 

Okay I'm new to the whole suspension thing, I want to replace all four of my OEM Tokico shocks with some Bilstein 5100's. If I used the original OEM front coilover springs and the front and rear Bilsteins at the '0 setting, will the truck be level? The whole add a leaf and 881, 882, etc etc coilover option confuses me.

I don't know if I need new springs or not, the truck is a '98 and only has about 80,000 miles on it.

 

theres a missalignment spacer to move away from axle if thats what you mean.

 

Maybe not pick and pulls but there are door handles in California junk yards

Edit: the one pic is the door handle not the grab handle, but is they have doors they should have the grab handle too

 

I need the armrest actually! I called a bunch of those scrappers on the list and only one of them were willing to sell it separately... for $35. What website is that?

 

Haha got me before the edit, I just noticed that, well damn lol

 

I know. My option is either pay $35 and drive two hours to the only scrapper willing to sell me the armrest by itself, or drive three hours and buy the whole door panel for $75.

 

That sucks, Ive seen some people parting out vehicles but nothing in gray

 

Yeah no one ever has a gray interior... just my luck.

 

Happy 4/20. Blaze the streets

 

No you're fine.

Your confusing them with 2nd gen shocks.

Our lower shock mount is moved is all

 

Ahh okay must've seen it on the mid travel page

 

I'm not very familiar with Bilsteins but the difference between the 881 and 882 springs is length so the 882 will give you a little more lift. The add a leaf is what lifts your rear the shocks do nothing for ride height.

With stock springs and the adjustable Billies you should be able to adjust ride height to male the front level with the rear. However by compressing the springs more you will likely experience a stiffer ride.

Personally I would pair OME 882 springs with OME struts. If you want roughly 2.5" of lift.

If you like to go fast around corners, you may like the stiffer 883 spring which is the same length as the 881 but a higher spring rate. You will have less body roll with the heavier spring. I prefer mine softer for off road.

You can have this just pay shipping

Passenger side

Note the dimples

 

The billies for the front, set on the lowest position, will give you ~2.5" with OE coils if those coils aren't wasted. Rear billies don't give any lift and are not height adjustable.

 

My body mounts are wasted. I was thinking of going with the daystar 1" just to kind of suppliment my suspension lift. How do you like this kit? If anyone on here has an ES branded poly kit feel free to chime in with a review. I need to do something. I'm down to one bolt holding the entire bed on lol, too much jumping. I lean towards the daystar because it comes with mounting hardwares, so I wouldn't have to source bolts somewhere.

 

wut??

 

Don't think my Kings do that, may need to sell em and keep my old 5100s then. Thanks for the heads up

 

Nah sorry, just a couple 4runners that were already stripped, they just got there yesterday!!! Man these people come after Toyota's fast

 

No...think you're backwards there buddy.

at the lowest setting (0'') with stock coils. There won't be any lift.

the highest setting with give 2.5''.
On fresh coils anyways haha
