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

Did the same, even bought the same coil overs...Monroe?

 

Haha yup

 

Send it back and get your money back. I went through this same shit with a Honda Accord. The regulator looked close, but one bolt was not even close and when I bolted the window up it it revealed that even that was not close. I went and bought a used OEM one from a junk yard

 

Just put on these Raceline Renegade 6 16x8 Wheels Had them Ceramic Clearcoated so I don't have to polish them with 285/75r16 Cooper SST Tires 3 inch Eibach Spings with 5100s all the way around , pinch weld mod and absolutely no rubbing

 

Welcome to TW

 

Greased the zerks, checked the tire pressure and packed it up for a boys trip to VA for one of our buddies birthdays.

 

I finally ordered sliders for my PRPs

 

I still have an OEM motor if needed

 

It does that some times. ITS JUST SLEEPY!

Sshhhhh

 

Must of not been giving it any skinny pedal on a hill lol

 

If you give an under-geared; over-tired, auto vehicle more gas sometimes you just turn your transmission into an oversize space heater as it just sits there and stalls against its torque converter.

 

I just LOL’d so very hard at the bleak, depressing description you just gave

Now I’m sad. Thanks

 

Sorry Mark, next time we wheel I'll apologize to Sluggo and bring you some booze. Haha I killed a Jeep Grand Cherokee doing just that, blocked the wheels up pretty good so they couldn't move too well and was hard on the peddle. Trans was on its way out anyway but it was a fun way to start a trans swap.

 

Don’t know if I should hope it’s still on when I get off work so I can get it checked or hope it goes away again....

 

I need to do my cv axle. It has a busted as well.
Where did you get your cv axle? I've been searching, and there's so many out there. Any recommendations will be appreciated.

 

I like that seat, I have the blue camo covers on my stocks

 

i know you can go chromoly cv’s but like monte and others mentioned it could cause other weak points depending on what youre getting into.

This is exactly how a LT second gen on 35’s snapped his cv’s on the rocks memorial day on the run we did...high centered, no traction gas gas turn snap. Chromoly axle broke clean in half then winched off. @Fernando I know you like to play in the rocks so keep that in mind. Im sure you know its usually best to tuck tail n winch, or bow your head and be sure to have a spare lol

that truck looks amazing! I would love to SAS my truck, but I like how versatile it is right now. Still that thing is fn awesome!

 

Haha. Yes sir! I always carry a spare just in case. But i rather not have to do that on the trail, again......lol

 

Went to get a quote for the wheel bearings at a new Toyota dealer near by and they were about $500 cheaper overall than the other dealer I got a quote from. They also had this beauty out front

 

With an impact and practice, its a breeze. I can do a CV and be back on the ground in about 20 minutes. I was basically one a day in Moab last year. I brought down 5 spares...it sucked because I had to literally budget CV axles, and if there were multiple obstacles on a trail I wanted to try once I blew up my one CV axle for that day I couldnt give the rest of the trail my all. But being meticulous about line choice and really feeling what the truck is doing, along with lining up multiple times can really get you through technical terrain without ruining things.
