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

For every mod we do there should be a grinder with a cutting disc by our side

 

That's a huge socket

 

Yeah it sets the preload for the hub bearings, big bearings equals huge nut haha

 

I just googled it. I figured it had to be that. No way there was a bolt that big on any passenger vehicle brakes haha

 

Can't change the rotor without it tho which is annoying.

 

That sucks. What year cruiser?

 

93

 

If I had read your profile haha

Looking at trying to track a Hundy down, but they are rare

 

I fell in love with the 80s 1990s charm and solid axles but it has maintenance items that require their own degrees haha

 

Got my shackle receiver and locking pin from Amazon today, kind of looks like those 'truck nuts' from afar though...not sure how I feel about that

 

I only run my Warn receiver shackle when I offroad. Otherwise it looks a bit weird

 

If you don't need a nipple to put a drain hose on go with the f103. If you do need a hose get the f103s

 

yeah I'm thinking I'll pull the D-ring off and keep it in the cab unless I'm on a trail, don't want someone to steal it either

 

Figured I’d ask her as well with the more traffic. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/banjo-bolt-length.526916/

 

What did you do for prep. I want to get rid of the chrome on my mirrors as well but I'm not sure of what is best for prep work. TIA

 

Just update them to the OEM 2001-2004 newer style as most all of them are black, big difference in the newer style in size and quality and they stay locked in one place with break away features
Craigslist you can find for 50.00 a set to 100

 

D ring shackle


Bow shackle


Calling them the same is equal to saying a Tacoma and Chevy are the same thing.

The part shackle is made up from a Bell and pin.

 

I've always called the top one a clevis, but that makes sense.

 

Yeah I really need to get new leafs but don’t have the cash right now for them. Been needing them for a while.

 

Just finished talking with a friend of mine of 20+ years told him the plans for the truck. Loved his reaction "what stock wasn't good enough for you?" lmao it never is
