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

Big Brown Truck brought my Old Man Emu suspension from Wheelers. About 4 hours in, and have the fronts installed, and everything loosened up on the back. Hope tomorrow goes as well as today, if so, I'll be back on the road by afternoon. Damn, did I just jinx myself???

 

My first love!

 

Never in my life.

I actually converted my PreRunner to 4x4 and haven’t used it yet.

 

Welcome to Tacoma world. Those headlights look wicked!

 

I may be a little late on the weather teach talk but I changed the badge.

 

Nice!

 

No shenanigans put on the alcans , blisteins extended break lines and a new carrier bearing.

 

Got the old girl out of the shed and drove her up the highway for a little cruise. Apparently the fuel gauge doesn’t work anymore. I threw a can in just in case but when the truck died on the highway it wouldn’t start afterwards without a jump. She needs some love. The truck that started it all.



Edit: sorry ment to post this in the Lunchtable

 

i get to go to work on my day off to install my fathers day gift on my dadeos truck... New Toyota leafs and new OEM shocks (he didn't want a lift, i had the leafs from when the frame was done)

 

This is the thing that's making the noise on my truck. And a really nice sunset I saw the other day

 

You may have to trim a little plastic and body mmoldings that hang down a bit in the front of the front wheel wells. Not because you have to, but because it can look a little weird if the side wings on your new bumper are tucked up high.

 

Thanks man!

 

Anyone know any good write ups/ videos for changing UBJ’s? What I really need to know is what tools to rent to get it out of the UCA (unless it can just hit the uca to get it out) and spindle.

I thought Timmah had one but I couldn’t find it.

 

Rent a ball joint press and the 4x4 adapters and you should be set. Might help to snug it up with a wrench then hit it with an impact to get it all the way out, thats what I have done in the past at least

 

damn dude...I'm starting to wonder if maybe you put so much hard work and labor into this thing that your afraid to break it lol. Not that I'd entirely blame you...but one of these days a group of us might have to come out there and stage an intervention/make you hit up a trail.

I hear Hollister Hills is fun, I almost hit it up once when I had my truck up there.

 

Virgin Sacrifice!!

 

I have never had mine move or any pedals get stuck. 5-speed and I offroad in mine, curious...

 

I was just looking through a build thread, is the BPV relocation always needed with a lift? My trucks been lifted for 2 years now and i have never got a relocation bracket, Am I fucking something up?

 

No you're just not "using" your rear brakes as good as they could be. It's not necessary but for the $15 piece or making your own (i.e. flat piece of metal with holes drilled into it) why not?
