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

Time for meth!

 

I'll be sure to post plenty of pics.

That being said, I just wrapped up a 10 day, 2,700 mile trip in which I would have loved to have my camper, and don't have anything planned for a while. Also, everything close to me is still snowed in. I'm sure I'll be anxious to get out for the first couple weekends so I'll take some small trips and gets some pics.

There's all sorts of different dimensions, so they're building a whole new frame. Guessing the gap won't be a problem. Issue with the 2nd gens being they were measuring the gap needed for flex off the shark fin, which is a couple inches over the roof, we won't have that issue.

 

Yeah but bumper choice issues for those years because of that.

Think 00-02 have the multi mode tcase as an option. Still a 3rd gen. 4Runners always got the new stuff first.

But really I'd get a 4th or 5th gen personally. Be more roomy and more comfortable.

Ahh aem meth kit. Though you just went for an fic6. Cool

 

You don't want an 00-02 their VSC and Trac is primitive and a PITA when it inevitably fucks up.

Also yeah pretty pumped about the meth kit, just not a whole lot of room to install the tank so I gotta find a good spot maybe in the cab somewheres.

 

4th gens also have a V8 to help turn 35s!

 

You don't have abs right? Get that waster bottle everyone runs right there. Be a gallon or so.

bingo..what id get!

 

Yeah, well 5th would be nice, but pricey. 4th feels bloated to her, probably because she's used to the Taco.

 

yeah probably. But i mean..you aren't building it to wheel right? thats what the taco is for..so..go for comfort.

 

I have my compressors there, the AEM bottle is nice too because of the capacity and level sensor. Plus it has a safety against starving. But I do have a spare one of those tanks kicking around. Thinking maybe using the stock tank for meth and a smaller easier to place one for the washers. But again the AEM tank is really nice.

 

What size are yours? They have good tread still? My wheels are decent now but I’m always on the look out for f5s haha

 

well..only place really you could fit it is behind the seats somewhere.

 

Your trucks becoming an alcoholic too? I tapped mine into the WW reservoir. Got the sensor that the kit came with and installed it like a third of the way up the tank so I can have an early warning when meth is running out.

 

I mean my whole back wall and such is pretty free.

 

Well safe to say there was nothing left on that 4Runner... can’t believe how fast these get stripped.

 

Loved my 3rd gen. I think it's the perfect size. I think I agree with her on the 4th gen. It's my least favorite haha

 

They are stock 16" 265/70/16. They looked almost brand new when I got the truck and I've put like 8k on it since then. Definitely lots of tread left. Pic from a couple weeks ago:

looks like it still uses the factory ball joint. surprised no one has devised a uniball setup yet
