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

In 4/2WD he wouldn't have the vibes at least. But yeah caution is wise, I don't have a great track record with that judgement call... At least on dirt.

 

Yeah no doubt. Not a lot of yards with toyotas around here.

I knew about the chalk..but idk if there are bolts. Maybe I'll find out. Up top it looks

Hmm well. Idk.

I had a buddy drive from Lake Tahoe to Santa Barbra or some place in FWD after nuking the rear diff.

 

i take some pics of the driver side body mount bushings and we can see if there smashed my pancakes lol

 

On the bumper subject, I knew they had heavier material and used a press brake on main components vs welding flat parts together. All though never saw the impact buffers before. Still a cool vid and you can see the pride in there production.

arb does make amazing products but i wish that there bumper flowed with the lines on the truck better. unless you drive a humvee i just dont like the looks of it

 

For real, I’ll buy that SC if you part it

Hoping that doesn’t happen but still

 

Sorry man, what a bummer, This is something (a crash) I always worry about every time someone
cuts me off or just pulls infront of me with less than a cars length space between us in Denver.
Hope u can fix it even if you have to pay a little more, keep her going!

 

As long as they aren't leaking, new o-rings and fresh lube, I'd re-use em too if I had to.

 

I was like 'hm, king ranch edition. Never heard of one'.

 

I may be mistaken, I think ads LT and non LT coils were same price. Could one run LT for now in case of future LT mods or will the shock not perform too great? Just figure spending that kind of money might as well get LT for future possibilities just not sure if it’ll work, need limiting straps before LT kit? Fill me in here with some insight....

 

Long travel shocks will not work/ fit in a stock or mid suspension. Long travel only works with long travel..

 

It's not that bad to replace the fender aprons, I took them off my 01 cab and installed my 02 Dcab. The Fenders line up decent and the hood closes better than it has in years!

The worst part about the Job is/was paying $500ish PER side for the inner fender aprons. Camelback may be cheaper. I didn't and just swapped the parts over.

 

I wouldnt mind trying some cat.

 

No.

the shocks are not interchange able for those applications.

Long travel uses a 2.5x8'' shock usually.

Mid travel is around a 2.5x6'' shock.

Long travel shocks are way too long for stock length control arms, you'd bottom out the shock all the time. Mid travel shocks are too short for LT you'd over extend them and wouldn't be getting full travel from the kit if you strapped it thus making it pointless.

There are no money saving trick for Long travel. Why a lot of people don't have it.

oooff...that does not look fun. Really hope i don't have to do that.

Camelback had them at 380ish a side. But go knows what shipping would be.

you have to cut the whole thing off and then weld the full thing? shit..

 

Figured I would try this one out. Just ordered today, will be here in a week or so.

 

that a 3.0 radiator?

 

Today? Installing new clutch kit. And my WIP of swapping auto to manual continues. Lol. Hoping to finish by Monday or Tues.

 

Well that sucks i didn't think it would be likely to work but it would been nice

 

That's a fun project haha, what clutch you go with?

 

XTR Stage 2... came with a new flywheel too! Lol. That's always a bonus.
