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

The rebuild of the rebuild of the repair from roll over to the modification shall begin. Welcome to Frank's build thread where we forgot how many times this has happened.

 

Awesome thanks.

 

Great read, and looks like it was a great trip! Must head out west soon, the midwest is making my head explode.

 

your welcome

 

I thought the 5100s were stiffer then the 5125s? I never really noticed a difference. I’m coming from 5100s on a 3rd gen runner to 5125s on my truck though.

 

Depo

 

First time I’ve ever replaced headlights, seen go reviews on these so I got em. Will keep posted about how they do

 

they have the exact same valving.

the 5100s are known to get a little stiff in their old age, im sure 5125s are no different. Then they bust a seal and get soft again haha

 

To many things to be said that shouldn't be said. But change the subject....I finally killed my welder now I can get a real one with gas. YAY!!!!

 

I should probably change out my leafs. I was pushing 860 pounds at the dump.

 

Order you up some overkill alcans like me

I think this was like 1250 or something, can’t find the old post of I’d tell you for sure.

 

It's hard to get it outa you system isn't it.

 

I think I was pushing 1,500 when I did this load of concrete. I was hitting the bump stops.

Unfortunately for me the concrete transfer station didn’t have a scale.

 

Gotta get you some of the Cali lean somewhere.


This is bs thread material.

 

That's all this thread is lol. We talk about everything pretty much. Food, state laws, tacomas, food, parts and then the sad 3rd jeners

 

I got you beat

#STANCENATION

 

But there really is a bs thread...

well you’re not wrong

 

Can’t believe how drastically lower the 5-lug is, especially since the PreRunner is on the stock suspension.

Also talk about a facelift. My PreRunner used to look about the same as the 5-lug since they’re the same model year.

It’s weird seeing Vermont plates on that truck.

 

Didn't you get Icons fronts for your truck? Are you waiting to get a rear lift before install?

Minus the popping I can't seem to get rid of, the Dakars + AAL hold weight well for me. My RTT, rack and 400lbs of sandbags barely made them flinch.

Without the AAL though they couldn't hold much more than the RTT setup.

Awesome! Did he change anything to it? Still in good shape?
