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

shit i was hoping he did to prove you wrong

 

Instant gratification claims another happy victim

 

Que monte photo

 

Be curious to see how that trd one works out. Only other guy i know with one is Eric. with the stock pulley he didn't really thing it was worth it. You have a smaller one though..

I need to save that thing..

 

I got this on speed dial, but I'm not on my phone

 

Which Eric? Also they aren't super common, but the previous owner claims it was pushing about 7lbs. I know the smallest pulley offered pushes almost 10 so it must be slightly bigger than that one, probably a good starting point though.

 

Definitely agree on instant gratification and the simpler path, would of been crazy to see zane get it done though.

I woulda saved it, but that would just be weird if I started saving photos of fellow tw members to make monte memes

 

In this case it is acceptable, also I just used Flickr to fave it haha

 

I got a question for you guys. I want to head to Firestone this week and get my alignment done, was looking at a bunch of alignment threads and they all seem to be written by second gens. With my tc uppers and 285/75 mtr's I get rubbing worse than normal after my last allignment. Second gen guy I was with said I wanted +3º castor, what do I really need to keep it from rubbing in the back. I trimmed and hammered the pinch well, the allignment before last I had no real issues. What should I be asking for as far as numbers.

 

girlfriend told me to sell the v8. and i quote her "why dont you sell the v8 and get the air mover thing? wouldnt it be eaiser on you in terms of installing it?"

 

0 total toe, 0 camber (or a little negative), and as much caster as they can possibly dial in (usually around 3)

 

Awesome putting this in my notes on my phone.

 

Air mover thing. Haven't heard that one.

 

She ain't wrong, not the same amount of torque but at least you're only down for a weekend or so. V8 still be pretty cool though, then twin turbskies

 

Twin turboed supercharged v8 swap?

 

i know she isnt lol. its a 4.7L tundra engine no forced induction what so ever unless i want to break the crank.

shes refering to a supercharger. she barely knows how to check for air in the tires lol thank god she knows to put unleaded gas and not diesel

 

@Supra TT

A dude with a single cab here that just sold his truck had it too and didn't seem impressed either with the stock pulley.

anything + castor is nice. But the more positive castor the more you put the tire into the firewall.

well she isn't wrong.

But not 100% right. Still takes tweaking and tuning to get it totally squared away and running smooth.

can't twin turbo it without building up the whole motor.

 

I call this mod “clearance loss” lol
Swapped stock drive shaft to a single. Took only 30 minutes to do. Seems to drive better.
Still getting axle warp but not as bad as before. I’ll probably end up marking a traction bar for it later.

 

i know, and in all fairness. it'll probably cost me about the same motor swap vs supercharger with a 7th injector and extra pulley and whatever else. thats if i had to buy the v8, but i got it for free from a friend who wrecked his tundra. i want the v8 for sure no doubt. but i think the 4.7 as good as it is by itself. theres better options out there for the same job.

 

Ahh okay, he and I talked about it one time. I suppose we'll see how it goes. I know BigMike's TRD SC was making 5psi super fast with the stock pulley so I'm hoping this littler one gets me to 6-7 quickly. That'll be good enough to satisfy me for a bit.
