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

When is re-gearing necessary? When you get bigger tires? Or added weight with armor? Or when you get a lift?

 

Bugger tires and or more weight. Generally both though.

 

When weight and tire size make you use the skinny peddle too much

 

Truck looks good, If you want a beer the fridge will be stocked or the bar is around the corner. Should have my new suspension and tires by Thursday as well. Just A click west of downtown, past the container cranes.

 

Why aren't you driving the turd gen?

 

Hey man I was just looking at FOA's last night I didnt know or rember you had them. What series specs do you have Pro's, Con's?

 

I'm so lost lol oh well

 

Welp that answers that.

 

I feel you here, man. I am not digging the turd gen... wish I never leased it. But alas, I am now stuck for the next 2years and 10 months.....

Now.... what to do with the 1st gen.....

 

I bought mine used from @paranoid56, they've needed a rebuild the entire time I've owned them haha. Theyre 2.5" series 10" travel remote reservior shocks. Basically just used them for mockup purposes but I have new seals for them and was going to have them rebuilt. But now I am just gonna order some new Kings I think. Not much insight to give besides most people don't have anything good to say about them and most shock rebuilders don't wanna touch them and won't warrant their work on them if they do.

 

Yes

 

I'd like to go back to first gens.

 

I ordered a carrier bearing drop kit cause I’m too lazy to go buy some washers.

1st Gen Related.

 

That's college level lazy right there

 

Parts are starting to come in..

 

#millennials

 

Weren't you just going on about how great it is and how you need it if you start a family? Now it's for sale? A la verga. Lol

 

Of course we know all this. (Well, except I'd forgotten about the dogs in the 'Runner, that is going to be an issue, isn't it?) We're giving you a hard time b/c we luvya. Don't take that too personally yourself

PS - after you left, we did mostly only talk about you. It sortof went like this:

Monte: Oncoming ATV. Sure reminds me of Ben.
Mike: I wish it was Ben, but would he come without the dogs?
Dan: Guys, let's look at pics from the days Ben was here after we setup camp tonight.
[general agreement all around]​

PS - that orange really does look sharp!

 

@m3bassman just gotta get that vehicle for the future now so you can have time to get fed up with it and don't feel bad modifying it. That's what the LC is in the queue for haha. Just gotta get you a 4dr Tundra or 2nd gen Taco so you can daily it now and start the process.

 

Thought of that too but I can't imagine an automatic and a bed that my snowboard doesn't/barely fits in
