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

So I'm guessing the ride will still be terribly harsh until I get armor no matter what.

 

Thanks for the help again guys! No vibrating and I got it aligned, drive straight as an arrow.

Drum issues:

 

Go to RockAuto.com and get the entire assembly. Heck I spent under 200 for a complete set of Monroes, all four corners. Otherwise, your need to decompress the heck out of that spring. Saw a guy do it on YouTube if you’re really wanting to do it yourself.

 

They are left and righ side specific...at least my new ones were. I used some of the blue stuff.

 

Drove my dad's Tundy

 

Nice work!

 

tomorrow is winch and bumper install time to get some sleep lol so i can get her installed and get the synthetic line stretched and spooled

 

I gave away two years worth of new misc Tacoma mis-ordered parts to another Tacoma guy. Mostly penny and dime stuff. I don't like clutter. It was time to clean out the garage and get ready for the next big thing with my truck.

 

Looking good. What kinda lift did you install?

 

They still had the 650lb springs as Zane mentioned, but I didn't feel like it was all that harsh. But then, it's a truck, so I expect it to be truck-like. But to me, it didn't seem much different than stock.

To put it another way - I notice much more harshness with E load tires (vs. C load) than I did with these coilovers.

 

C loads helps so much. Trucks are heavy enough for the Es.

 

Bought my taco a big brother....

 

Will those fit my 1999? What’s the part #? Thanks

 

I'm so jelous! I been wanting a 1st gen tundra that color forever now! Those 3rd gen wheels look great on it too

 

Yeah I love it...... It was actually my neighbors who is a Toyota tech. I bought it to pull my camper which only weights maybe 2500 lbs....my Tacoma pulls it like a turd....lol

 

Replaced all my belts (alternator, ac, ps) this afternoon in my dorm parking lot. Doing my spark plugs and wires next weekend in preparation for a trip to New Mexico over spring break. Hopefully I'll return with some parts as I'm planning the trip around one or two pick and pull yards.

 

What kind of turd?

 

My thinking exactly. Mine is going away, come spring. I want to get my seat lower. That would drop it a couple of inches all around, if you just bolt directly through the floor, with no brackets on the rails (which is the way the BMW rails are) Thanks again!!!

 

So after reading about your guy's order of mods I went backwards.. haha lift after tires and then I was going to go to sliders
