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

You dont need to lower it that far lol. Nice 3/4 drop with some good rims. Maybe do the qa1 coil over conversion. Only problem with a 4” drop in the rear is you have about 2” of travel so you would need to c notch it

 

That's when you retro fit 240sx IRS

 

im more concerned for the bike lol how do you peddle that

 

S14 sub frame irs on a tacoma...

 

Or throw a tacoma body on a gtr...

 

I've seen people put it on Datsun 620 mini trucks, Chevy luvs, just have to make your own upper coil buckets off the frame. You can make your own mounts for the subframe or make anew diff mount I guess too.

 

There is a second gen guy on here with a s14 sub frame 5lug

 

This guys 1st gen is tight though https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/streetacos-bolt-on-4-link.121638/

 

The cost of the Vermont registration is 6% of the Low NADA value of the truck, which is $5,025 (why the hell are these trucks so valuable?) plus a registration fee of $76. 6% of $5,025 is $301.50. The truck, according to the State of California DMV, owes $538.00 in backfees. Add the Vermont registration fee, the California backfees, and we arrive at a total of $915.50. Take that value and add the purchase price of the truck ($600) and we arrive at a grand total of $1,515.50 for a legal, registered, and titled 1998 Toyota Tacoma. I put $500 worth of parts into it, and plan to sell it at a reasonable $3,500. I make a good $1,500 profit: everyone is happy.

Is it worth it?

I say yes. Because I'm a stubborn fuck.

 

Lol your gunna sell it now

 

I have three god damn cars, what am I going to do with them all?

At my age, paying insurance on ONE car is expensive enough.

 

Ls swap then Trailer the 5lug, dont need insurance if its a race car

 

If I'm LS swapping anything it's my PreRunner 4x4 - that one I actually drive. Lol

 

Cut me a deal so I can have a drift vehicle then

 

it really is.. i prefer the second gens setup with the ball joint kind of trapped, and two massive bolts holding the spindles on

but if i remember right someone with a 4runner was working on uniball lowers that bolt in.

 

You would need to get a wide ass sterring rack so you can achieve crazy angles of steering like drift cars, look at those angles

 

I've been known to shorten a knuckle or two, and to put in a ratio multiplier...

 

I've managed to get my self into 4 cars now.. 3 of which im keeping.. i need my head examined.. at least insurance is cheap on all 3.. the 4th is just a 200 dollar accord im fixing and selling..

 

And take your front bumper off...

 

Yeah man, gotta weld on some tube for a crash beam and intercooler airflow
