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

Oh okay, I have an aftermarket weld on mount myself and I never checked angles, just eyeballed the entire thing, pushed it up as far as it would go to gain clearance. I would just borrow someone's first gen zero out the angle meter on the frame bottom and then attach it to the flange and see what's up.

 

Yeah I'm about to ask Monte for numbers. I'm pretty sure Igor is auto.

 

Not hard at all, just cut to fit basically could definitely be done a lot cleaner.

 

Looks good, what brand and price? How do they sound?

 

Ummmmm, they came with the radio I got for Christmas, so I dont really know the price, I can go look at the box in a minute,

As far as sound I haven't even really tried em out.

 

No worries, just curious. If you have time...

 

Welcome to the club!

Anybody got a recommendation for the brightest side marker lights

 

And it looks like I'll be keeping my camper shell...

 

My new Tundra brake upgrade stuff got here today. 13WL Rebuilt Calipers, Baer Sport Rotors, and PowerStop brake pads.

Sad thing is I can't put them on until I get new wheels and tires. I have the stock 15 inch Alloy wheels and they only fit with 16"+.

 

I'm in the same boat with 15's . Where'd you get the rebuilt calipers?

 

I bought them from someone on here, they're remanufactured OEM calipers from PowerStop.

 

as a welder by trade i think everybodys over complicating this tbh. theres a dozen ways you can do. all i know is i sure wont be beveling that much 3/16 flat bar...

 

Would you be able to see if a stock 16" spare is shallow enough for the calipers, when you put them on? I have searched but no luck.

Me and Silver02taco where having fun disscussing it. He is a engineer, i was a fabricator, now Struct. Ironworker. And @koditten is a fabricator as well.
It was in good fun.

 

I was fun. I hope we helped and not confused more.

 

Put the camper on to test out the air ride bags and cbi frame reinforcement plates. Also adjusted the 5100s to the center setting on my FJ front springs and swapped the wheels and tires off the 4runner to the Taco.

 

Ha! We'll see how well that works out for me... Long Travel/Wide Axle + 3.5" Backspacing + 35"s inbound..

 

FINALLY got around to changing my timing belt and water pump, getting ready to do coils and new leaf packs next!
