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

Could use 1.5" wheel spacers and them do the wheels and trim the heck out of it and beat in the pinch weld.

 

Thanks you guys so maybe a 235/85r16 would be my best bet with out cutting and beating . Any recommendations on the tire size / brand would be awesome i do have a set of 1.5 spacers that I could use. Sorry to be a noob I don’t want to mess on trying to fit a bigger tire on the wip

 

Started the truck for the first time in about a week, couple of nights of hard freeze, and i notice a few drops under the truck. Upon further inspection, i think my rack and pinion is leaking, alot. Hopefully itll be okay for a bit. Wont be able to get to a shop for two-weeks.
Y'all think ill be ok??

 

I'm running 265/75/16 on mine. Only slight rub on my resis for front shocks. That's if I turn all the way hold it and stuff the tire up in the fender all the way

 

I would think so if it's only drips. If it's a big puddle I would worry. Mine just took a little over a quart of fluid after I drained the system. Just keep an eye on it. You'll be fine.

 

I see we have a rigger in the house

 

If he's under a high lead or a skyline I'd call him a hooker.

 

Last time I called someone a hooker I got slapped.

 

Lol I'm glad you did. That was exhausting. Took a long break after but I'm getting the crossmember in when I get home later and starting it up.

 

Did she make you pay?

 

That's what prompted the hooker comment.

 

In the logging world hookers are our hook tenders. They hook chokers on a hook all day as well as set the chokers in most cases. Good ones a hard to find and bad ones usually don't get to ride home with the crew in the crummy at night.

 

Make sure you have fluids in everything.

 

Of course. Gonna have it aligned tomorrow.

 

At the moment I'm running 265 75 r16 all terrain, with a 2" lift (think that's what the coilovers are set at) but tomorrow I'm going with a 265 75 r16 mud terrain. I'm not getting any rubbing what so ever so I think you'll be fine on a 265 75 r16.

 

I have bfg ats on right now and going to mud also. Are yours BFG?

 

Switched out a couple leafs in my Alcan leaf pack today to move the rear axle forward 3/4" and center the rear wheels in the wheel wells. Definitely an interesting day.

Looks good! Almost looks too tall to fit in the garage!

 

Digging the steelies, looks like the axle is nicely centered now too
