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

Gunny got me outer tie rods for $43.77 a piece, if that helps ball park it for ya

If you need to do LBJ's now would be the time since you need to disconnect the outer tie rod anyway. Just did both and it took maybe 2 hours start to finish, with several beer breaks

 

Yea I rather have oem parts when it comes to steering and other important things. I could go to rockauto.com and buy a new one for $27 each but there moog and other than oem brands

 

What town is that? Sounds like Hamilton County. Every one around here is all like

 

I feel ya, I went OEM for LBJs and was gonna do Moog for the tie rods, but OEM wasn't that much more so I went for it. Only thing I would have done differently is get inner tie rods as well since mine are also worn out

 

Lafayette, Indiana most of those people are foreigners from the Asian countries that go to the college of Purdue

 

At this point I think it’s the whole state. Headed north on 69 to Muncie today I came up on someone doing 60 in the left lane and the speed limit is 70...

 

Hey I drove on that section last week going 60mph but that's at that speed I'm at 2500rpm lol I need to get 4.56's 4.10's kind suck on the interstates lol with 32's

 

Couldn’t go faster? I have 33s with stock 4.10s and can hit 90. Takes forever to get there but she will get there lol.

 

I don't like the rpms get to high. But I can hit 90 as well

 

Gotcha! I cant remember what my RPMs are at doing 70/80, I'm thinking somewhere in the 2000-2500 range.

 

You got a automatic

 

Yessir.

 

Yup. Camelback is the cheapest

 

That'll explain it lol I have a manual

 

Did my outer tie rods and lbj's on Saturday. Counted the threads on the old tie rods and got them almost perfect on the new tie rods. Started driving home from my friends house and immediately noticed that my alignment was trashed. Joined the Firestone Lifetime alignment club yesterday afternoon and got it all sorted out. Drives like a dream now!

SO. MUCH. TOE.

 

lol

wouldn't like my truck then..And you shouldn't regear either.

 

What do you get

 

3000 rpms at 65.

and if you went from 4.10s to 4.56 you would raise your rpms.

You shouldn't really need to with 32s anyways. Unless your carting around a lot of weight then it'll help.

 

Anyone come up with a remedy to the bad angle on touch screen stereos yet. Thinking maybe some spacers or something.

 

Time to get a third gen
