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

The more proper name would be diff tilt. Only moves the axles down like .5"

 

Did a quick swap to the FJ TRD center caps thanks to @dome

Appreciate it, thanks brother

 

if that much at all. I bet its closer to 1/4'' if that even. Was disappointing to say the least..

 

First part for the upcoming suspension refresh and upgrade has arrived!

 

So I'm at a point where I can choose to spend extra money on a diff. drop, or not do it - depending on if it will make any difference.

Should I do it, or not?

 

Not, you won't be tall enough for the placebo effect to be full strength anyway

 

Do you have Ucas already?

 

This

 

I had the opportunity to buy some Total Chaos UCA's, but ultimately ended up being too expensive. I'm running the stock UCA's.

Upper ball joints are brand new, lower ball joints are original to the truck.

 

no.

But at this rate, you don't listen to use about saving money anyways

 

If you’re gonna go to 2.5 your alignment might be kinda funky without Ucas.

Jba or Light Racing is what I’m gonna go with eventually.

 

This is what I hate about have a Toyota truck. Nothing ever breaks so I can't fix anything, so the next best solution is to obviously mod the hell out of it.

First world problems...

 

It would only be caster, he should be able to get by for a while... I still have stockers haha

 

you mod it..which leads you to break it..


trust me..

 

I like my SPC Light Racing UCAs, had them for a year and a half now with no issues at all. JBA makes a good ball joint style UCA too from what I hear.

 

Agreed.

 

I’m still on stockers too, but if I ever get my kings rebuilt or replaced or something I’d like to take the spacer deal out and use them to their full potential, which means Ucas if I understand right.

What does caster effect again? Road manners?

 

I was about to say this. Next thing he posts will be of the diff drop in his hands "I bought one anyways, because I'm hard headed "

 

Yeah it changes the leverage point essentially for the rack to turn the wheel or the wheel to turn the rack. Negative caster gets you poor road manners, positive makes the steering wheel the main influence. Also yeah you should have UCAs to use extended coilovers, again it has worked fine for me not to but I wouldn't just recommend that.

 

What seal did you use for your doors?
