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

Yeah, looks like a bad batch. I'll probably order from Toyota Parts deal, they have the best prices I can find.

Can anyone comfirm these are the two PNs that come with replacement bolts?

About where Monte has his. Best I've got but I've cranked them down a little on the driver side

 

Yeah mine look closer to what you have there in that photo. Maybe a couple threads more

 

I think mine are around 1''.

 

Caught my rust when Safelite came out to replace the windshield. Wasn’t too bad. The tech was cool, helped me wire brush away the rust and applied a rust inhibitor/encapsulator. No issue since.

 

Wonder how many were in the batch, if that was the issue. I just got new ones a month ago, was going to hold off putting them on until the end of this season. Wonder now if I should do it sooner, for the warranty.

 

I know. We miscalculated. Gonna take care of that soon.

 

Thanks for the recommendations guys seems like autopart rotors will work fine for my needs.

Also I have close to 70k miles on my oem ball joints from camelback with no issue and was going to reorder but might wait on that for a couple months now.

 

That's where I want mine.

 

650

I'll get one. Looking at his pic now I do believe he has more preload than I do.

 

I have 600. We gave it ten turns. Five turns is 1" of lift according to the instructions.

 

You need more antennae.

 

Here's mine;

 

My collar was a little lower than yours out of the box. I assumed they were set to zero lift since these are "OEM replacement."

 

I'd say that's more than "a little lower" haha. Mine are set for about 3/4" of lift on front right now. It gives me very close to a 50/50 up/down travel.

 

I also installed a Fumoto valve. I'm going to try using an inexpensive 12v transfer pump to speed up the process.

 

Brembo blanks. I got a pair off of Amazon for $85, and they are laser marked by Brembo. Use OE pads, roommate gets cost +10% on Toyota parts. Hes a Lexus service writer. Best combo I've found.

 

Aux fuel tank?

 

Where the threads are clean is how it came, then we added another 2".

Oil pan.

 

Just left Camelback Toyota after talking with Gunny about LBJs. Mine are 3 months past the 12 month warranty. He's going to goodwill warranty them. This is the first he's heard of any issues. I showed him the video of @snowboard704. He said WOW!
