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

Took it down a new road

 

Debating if I should do a high quality repaint in stock color for $4500 or sell and buy the second gen single cab of my dreams. Yeah I'm weird like that, but something about single cabs just does it for me

 

Got my 24" light bar mounted behind the valence or whatever its called.

 

Put some black lug nuts on

 

Well, these arrived today...

SCS Stealth 6 - Delivery​

.

 

Nice! Got tires picked out?

 

I want 255/85r16's. Right now the top contender are KM2's.

 

return them

 

In the middle of front, rear diff, and transfer case oil change & greasing driveline.
Multipurpose or Moly?!

 

Yeah i have kings on my double cab. Ran them for 2 years with 0 perload. Was great. I turned them up 3 full turns for my 33s and its probably 1'' if that even taller. 600lb coils. still rides nice but not as smooth around town and stuff. The dirt it is pretty great with my bumpstops.

It gave me probably 1'' of "lift" from my old wore out stock coils haha so wasn't really lift just seemed like it. If you can, just turn them all the way down until just before the coil is loose. It'll ride fantastic.

SICK!! Stoked to see them on your rig!

 

Allowed my kid to fill gas in my 1st gen darling




Don’t know why people have children

 

Is it stripped or?

Cause I drip gas on the flare all the time and it doesn't do that.

 

Yeah called up wheelers and got longer U bolts. Kept stock shock mounts, the shocks may be a tad short, but I wheeled my truck hard last weekend and didn't have a problem. The springs are all of 4 inches of lift.

 

That's what I ran before the 35s. Pretty awesome offroading tire, not great on wet roads though. Kinda noisy too.
I actually still have them if you wanna try before you buy haha

 

Let me guess, you've got some address in Oregon I should return them to, right? hahaha

Gonna be sweeeet with the green.

Yeah, the noise is the main thing I'm not looking forward to - my other option was the ST Maxx which would be better from that perspective but not quite as great in the mud, which is quite recent in my memory . How much life is left in yours? Could be a compromise for me...

 

Gonna be great with the green.

And the St maxx is a nice tire. But yes, no mud tire..

 

My Maxx's do pretty good in the mud/clay. Atleast for what I've put them through, which is basically just muddy dirt roads and 2 track trails, definitely not too extreme. I can't compare them to a mud tire because I've never had a set.

Just my experience.

 

Never did ever drop gas there

So don’t know

Utterly sad

 

Are your flares dipped or spray painted? I know gas doesn't get along with them.

I've never had a problem either, maybe the gas puddle up and stayed there for a minute.

 

They are oem
Not painted

Not sure what dipped means
It’s dipped in gasoline


Every 8 weeks I massage them with this for about 30 min massage session
