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

11 pounds of boost.

 

@Blackdawg Did you see that a dude named Kyle that just ran 19 psi of boost through a stock motor and made 415hp?

 

If not...

 

Nope, the clunk happens the instant I let off the gas and then all is quiet and smooth. It was doing it before I got the mini suspension lift. I just hope it's not the transmission.

 

Might be one of the farther forward joints, maybe double cardan

 

I jacked up the rear end and put it in neutral and wiggled things around down there and couldn't find anything loose. Hmm, didn't check the front propeller shaft though, just the rear. The carrier bearing is a little loose, but seems to have some life left in it.

 

Maybe axle wrap?

 

@Dirty Pool does

nope hadn't seen that. Have seen a dude hit 350ish though.

Hardly 415 though..just a spike at the end of the gear haha Also surprised that is possible with the dinky intercooler..

 

I was surprised at the IC too. He has the big ol CX turbo that comes on the kit. Mine is quite a bit smaller. Im interested to see what it does at 19. Considering the turbo I have is a bit smaller hopefully my curve is a bit less...mountain like.

 

Been looking for months, but finally bought a canopy today. It's not perfect, but it should do the job. Planning on doing a bunch of camping with the doggos this summer and the wife gave the green light for this and possibly a RTT. I tried to convince her that we needed a wildernest (and was working toward flip pac) but she wanted something that could work with both of our rigs. Have to get a rack first though.

 

Well, a RTT and camping accessories are surely gonna require a lift that can take more weight. And a lift isnt complete with new bigger beefier tires right?

 

When you go to start a fire with an ol’ gal only to find out you left your lighter in your camper .

Cig lighter didn’t work at all...
Tacoma related cause, you know.

 

Meh, my truck is old man status and I'm boring AF. Can't really justify all that. I did notice that it rides level now. Will probably need a suspension update in the near future, but will probably keep it stock height with an AAL if the RTT ends up happening.

 

looks great; Unrelated to the current post but do you have any other pictures of that bed rack?

 

Try looking at the front most u-joint. I'm having the same issue and I greased that front joint and it went away for like 2 gear changes and then came back. I'm going to replace it soon I've just been busy with other big stuff

 

250K miles YESTERDAY -

 

Specs on the lift?

 

Hey Fellows, Quick question regarding ARB front bumpers. Will an ARB that would be coming off a 1999 easily bolt up to a 2004? It ran in my mind that the length of the frame horns might be different, but wasn't sure, and if so, how ARB made up the difference. Might have an opportunity to do a swap.
