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

You didn't quote the best part.

 

Shop towls stay in the truck cuz if I leave them in the shop every one else uses them up and I have none for me and I pay for them

 

Looks good! I think 3” lift will do the trick. +500! Alcan is the way? I was thinking deaver, mostly because I put them on my gfs truck and they ride great

 

Deavers tend to give off that vibe because most of their leaf packs are rated for very light loads which makes them nice and soft on an unloaded truck.

 

Did an oil change today on the supercharger and replaced the worn out 2” snout pulley.
30,000 miles on the pulley and it wore down from a 2” pulley to a 1.967 and slipping like crazy at boost.
FYI check the wear on your supercharger pulley.

 

Out of curiosty what does a slipping supercharger pulley feel like? Sudden loss/drop of boost?

I need to change my sc oil too here pretty soon

 

Yeah I got their expedition pack, they are holding up well. I just don’t know how good they do with custom orders, seems like most people get alcans

 

Your boost peaks then goes down as your rpms are still going up.

 

I can't make that commparison, I've never run Deavers so

I'll admit, I'm an Alcan fanboi. But its because they've worked well for me. This is my 2nd set. Monte is still running the first set on Igor.

Also found Alcan very easy to work with. And they provided what they claimed they would.

 

Hey that tack weld is for excessive play and wandering on the road. Works pretty good too.

 

What if I want more excessive play and wandering?

 

You can change one exploded balljoint, have your father tell you to change the other, boldly ignore that sage advice, then go wheeling and promptly require rescue because the other balljoint exploded and scattered your steering rack and tire


But I hear there is more than one way to skin a cat these days so maybe just loosening all your lugnuts would work.

 

why would you want that?

 

I feel like this may or may not have happened.

 

Sounds like a plan, chief. Think I'll cut the lower ball joints off the 5-lug to lower it for free.

That sounds oddly like it really happened...

 

Why are dingleberries brown?

 

Custom

 

People tell me I have an overactive imagination

 

Where do those LBJ's fail, exactly? Do they just shear at the three bolts that hold it to the lower control arm?

 

My bolts sheared, must of lost one and the other 2 couldn’t handle it.


Most people’s the actual joint fails I guess.
