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

I didn't I just used lock washers

 

They're always 5-lugs. I have never seen a 4x4 Tacoma at a yard down here. I've only seen one PreRunner.

I get all my 4x4 parts off 3rd Gen 4Runners which are much more abundant.

 

I haven't seen any first gens at all.

 

No kidding. I see a first gen pop up within a 30 mile radius every week or so. Again, always a five lug but still a first gen.

 

I think there's alot here in AZ, haven't checked the junk yard but there's alot of first gens in general out here

 

Ummm, I’m probably just over building them. I read DOM is a lot stronger than HREW. But I guy I’m having bend them said HREW will be just fine, so I might return the DOM and get HREW. And it’s literally half the price...

Does anyone in the Eugene Oregon area have a tube bender?

 

Gotta know the right places to look, but the normal dismantlers and pick and pull places are picked and pulled clean.

 

I'm sure if I looked 10 or so years ago it'd be like toysR'us lol

 

Awesome, that’s exactly what I needed to hear.

20ft of HREW 1.75” .120 is only $50!!!

 

It'll be plenty strong, I bounced on my HREW sliders when I flipped and they barely changed shape. Not enough to make it so I couldn't reuse them

 

only first gen i know of is a rotted to nothing 96 5 lug sitting in a little yard littered with classic cars. i plan on extracting the bed off the thing and building myself a matching trailer.

 

Those F5's look sweet on there Zane. Do it. They match/balance the windows really well.

I haven't said this to you in a while but here it is. You're wrong Ben.

 

Do it. That's what I was supposed to do but I ended up buying a whole truck instead. lol.

Get the whole truck with the diff and frame up to the cab. Then you can cut and bend the frame to a triangle. All you have to do is weld a trailer hitch to that and you have a trailer.

 

Thanks, I like them on there too. Only thing really stopping me is the other three are screwed up pretty bad from rock rash. I think I'll leave it alone until I can buy some new ones haha

 

the 3.5 BS ones would look better anyways.

 

Just what I needed to hear...

 

frames rotted on the thing. i was going to make my own frame and get a 6 lug axle so i can have matching wheels because why not. lol

 

Do yourself a favor and get the axle with the electric brakes. Will be a huge help.

 

Those large drops are brutal to watch.

 

The one with no tire has the new shocks, and the one with the tire is stock. My question, is the LBJ supposed to be at An angle like that? The other side that is still stock has that angle as well but it seems like it's not as bad
