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

Just put it all the way up. The OEM rear bias is only like 30% max anyways.

True but having a 1:1 lever ration on shocks is not always a good think. Most go for a 2:1 as this keeps the shaft speeds lower and is easier to control and generates less heat so you don't over cook the shocks.

Thats why you see rock crawlers do a short course 4 link and trophy trucks mount their shocks on the trail arms to increase the lever ratio. One goes 100+mph over shit. One goes .1mph over shit.

Take your pick.

 

Yes sir, I think they’ll look sexy when everything’s done up, space lift and all

 

All i got was nuts and cotter keys. I did one or two decent sized orders with them last year.

I just ordered some hand brake parts tonight, but I can't order from Camelback no more so Village Toyota it is. If they didn't use FedEx Ground I would

 

Took off e-locker actuator, seems to spin fine with a 1.5 volt. I re-aligned it and push the gear inside the hole to the far right to be unlocked. now it slides in easy but still won't engage when I push the button. Will have to dig into this further later.

 

I don't think I'll have to worry about cooking my 10" 2.5"dia resi shocks on my little beater haha

 

Yep!

 

I haven't removed my actuators on my cruiser but they all have a procedure for reinserting and making sure the forks are one way or the other. I thought they were supposed to be reinstalled in the engaged position but I could be wrong.

 

I'm def gonna have to look that info up

 

you'd be suprised. Especially if you are still going to add LT up front. You'll over cook the rears I'd be before the fronts with LT

 

ive seen some bad ujoints in my time but holy shit

 

Thanks man!

 

I'm not racing, hell I'm not even planning going all that fast. I just want trail comfort haha. I should at least be able to keep up with you and your half dead 5150s

 

I popped that whole black grill thing out when I did mine and then used a rubber band to get grip. The ones that are hard for me are the ones in the little gray pieces of plastic. I have to give up or else I break them.

 

Your gear selector bulb came right out? I had to give up on mine or else I would have broken it

 

Rookie! Lol. Just kidding

 

You must have mad skillz. I broke one in my 4runner's cigarette lighter and had to order another, so I didn't want to push my luck with the gear shift haha

 

what do you mean half dead?

More like destroyed and beyond life..haha i can't wait to replace those.

 

Wow thats cool stuff.

 

Before I leave for the coast and forget: successful night at @Phoosa 's along with his friend's help. Bent mounting points can be a bitch especially if it's going to the frame.

Mocked up

This is when reinforcements arrived

Something about physics and pulling a strap with the tire "but I'm not a doctor"

Getting redneckish

Saying fuck it and redrilling into frame

And done. I am now self proclaimed the Camry Slayer.

This was all typed while on the toilet.

 

sounds like me after i have a 2 pound steak lol
