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

I'll try and remember. I am probably one of the worst at taking pictures. Or at least actually taking pictures. Not sure if u will do this before Moab or after.

 

Pull the coilover. Soak in Kroil or a mixture of 50/50 acetone and automatic trams fluid. Tig weld a nut to the stud. Back it out slowly, stopping and going forward a turn or 2 each time, this will deal with the burr if there is one. Good luck

 

No worries. It's not an enjoyable job, so I wouldn't blame you for just getting it over with!

 

How did you make that bar? I need one similar to put my hi lift jack on since I got a camper shell now

 

Driveway shot post ride

 

Just got a New Bedrack and RTT!
P.S what leaf Springs do you guys reccomend.. All Pro standards or Expos? Plan to keep the rack, and RTT in year long. With a couple recovery tools... shovel , high lift. I have a swingout planned in my near future. But besides that would only throw in camping gear and cooler when going on trips

 

What springs/shackles and shocks are you running?

 

Icon 2.5 Ets up front / stock leafs and shocks with toytec adjustable shackle.
Just got in my TC relocation kit and 10" kings yesterday though! Just figuring out what Leafs I'm gonna go with

 

What wheels?

None truck, best color at the color awards we had awhile back...@madjik_man

 

Thanks man Pro comp steelies !

 

@nagorb , I'm running the AllPro Expos now. Gave me every bit of 3" lift.

 

How much weight are u running in the rear ?

 

Nothing yet but I'm planning on finishing the rack and adding a RTT. I also have plans for a swing out tire carrier tailgate/bumper combo

 

How is the ride with the expos? What's your shock setup?

 

This sucks to admit but I'm not running it with any shocks at the moment. I had broken a shock last weekend and the factory springs were so trashed I just went ahead and installed the new springs so I can get measurements and keep building the rear.
So at the moment it's super bouncy.

 

Damn! Hmm I'm wondering how well the expos will travel with 10" kings. They're supposed to have some good flex correct ? On par with the standards just for heavier loads

 

From what I've read, they pair best with 10" shocks. I'm looking at ADS because that's what I'm running upfront with the MCM Fab kit.
This is it in stink bug mode

 

Nice! Damn I'm wondering how I can get a level stance with the expos then:/ there's only so much you can get out of a mid travel setup I'm getting about 3" in the front maybe more . And 2" in the back with the shackle... at least it's supposed to lift 2" with the setting I chose. Think with the gear I have it might settle the Springs ? That the only turn off for me is the stance
Edit : nice truck man! How you like the front kit ?

 

Expos.


I have them and only have a soft topper and swingout. No issues. Feels great when loaded down too

 

Have a picture of the whole truck? How's the stance
