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

If don't only the rest of it looked as well done as the wrap.

 

I can hear your cv axles and ball joints screaming from here.

In all seriousness. Loose the 3" spacer ASAP.

 

And the tires because there's no way it's aligned riding at full droop.

 

If you're adding a bumper a spacer is not the way to retain your lift. Again, the spacer moves your shock. Which in turn moves your shock travel. By adding a 3" spacer you shift the shock travel down 3" which means that you loose up travel because the shock will run out of travel when you compress it sooner than when it didn't have the spacer.

If you want to retain your lift after adding a bumper/winch/skids/whatever. The best way is to change your spring rate. In other words, new or different coils.

Seeing as you have 5100s adjustment isn't super easy, yet another pro to having full adjustable extended travel coilovers. 5100s do have adjustment though and you can pre compress the coils you have to make up for it.

If you're on stock coils, you're screwed. You need beefier coils such as OME 882s or 883s.

 

Was going to order my cb mount, antenna and spring and my boss gave me this one today

 

Added New Decal



Added Pod lights


DID A CUSTOM SETUP AGAIN....HALO RING, DEMON EYES AND ETCHED LOGO

 

I have acdelco pro 779 springs

 

What color is that?? Looks so pretty

 

What's the spring rate

That logo looks like the serpant audio logo

 

That color is awesome.

 

Love the quicksand color on 1st gens! Hoping to get mine painted before long in that color. My poor paint is faded, chipped and nasty

 

I HIGHLY doubt that. Link to product please

 

i doubt thats the spring rate

 

Hey... I'm not ready to drop more money on the truck .... but daydreaming .... what will be the nicest coils and suspensions parts to put on this DC cab KEEPING SAME HIGH and make the ride even SMOOTHER..... I don't want any lift since too many issues lifting a truck, I want to keep it bone stock , just smooth, not a fan of rock climbing or heavy off road, nothing like that, just 95 % city , and with the TRD 4wd should be good for 5% going out off road eventually.


Thanks in advance .

 

Get some Kings up front and make sure this NO preload on them. Will ride awesome. Mine were like that for a long time. Was like a cadilac. Smoother then when i added preload that is for sure.

Rear is a bit more challanging. Wheelers sells some 4 packs or 5 pack leaf springs and getting rear shocks valved for comfort by king or some other maker like that would be very easy through DSM.

...no

 

LOL

Missed that minute detail
Kings aren't cheap so he can ignore my comment...

 

Go to ebay, look up 03 tacoma front coil springs ,acdelco pro springs the seller is acdelco
