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

Lol I’ve noticed that most people’s light bar tabs on the All Pro Baja bumper face down while mine face up

 

Mine are the same (bad photo ik but all i got)

 

Most of the ones I saw online are the other way around, even the pics on the AP website. Just funny little things I notice. Did yours come with that winch hook loop?

 

Yeah i have that too. You know i kinda wish I got the filler plate option idk about you

 

Mine didn't get the hook put on lol. I haven't gotten to play enough with the new bumper on to want the filler plates but they wanted way too much for two steel plates imo. I might have them added later if I see the need for it.

 

Idk if there is really a need for them but i have nothing in those holes so i wish the bumper coverd it some. But oh well I didn’t get it just gunna live with my bumper as is unless the wears put to the point where its time to re do it

 

Yup that is my thinking really. Kinda the thinking for my whole truck in sorts

 

Mmm. Something bent is my guess..haha

 

Fine by me, more excuses to replace stuff, but it all looks normal still and drives excellent, until 70mph, still have that damn shimmy.

 

Coil buckets are most likely what would have bent. To get stock ucas to tag the well.

 

I went to look just now and they look perfect, no sign of stress like Bretts, no waves or high/low points. Used a square to see if they canted inward too, l can't see any issue. Made sure I can still wiggle the coilovers. It really looks just fine, probably just because of the janky bumpstoos I have, but even then I didn't tag them because my landing was silk, no bottom hit.

 

it does me lol get some rust jk

 

New rear shocks

Cleaned and greased rear slip yoke and it eliminated the clink in the rear when coming to a stop.

 

this was his answer to me with the same question

Hey Tim,

In my R&D I realized that the two factory bump stops don't make contact at the same time. The front bump makes contact first. The rear bump has a 3/8" gap before it even touches. With further compression the front bump collapses enough to engage the rear bump. The rear bump from the factory seems to be a "helper"

My front bump stop mounts at the rear of the control arm. I basically flipped the O.E. design. My rear bump makes contact first while the front bump stop still has a 1/2" gap. with further compression my bump stop collapses and the front OEM bump acts as the ultimate bottom out.

 

I'll tell you if anything falls off, knowing my truck the only thing that changed was the battery's position.

 

Just looking for this: , and oh yeah, this:

Jk guys - it's not a heep anymore (see what I did there )

 

So I’ve been having an issue with my driver side window. It rolls up slow and during the winter it’s even worse. I’m pulling the door panels this weekend for other things but I would like to address this before I put the panels back. What should I look for that will be causing this issue? Thanks

Sounds like something is causing the speed to slow down. This could be something out of alignment with the track or just a weak motor. If you can, remove the motor and mechanism and try moving the window manually. Be careful not to cut yourself, there are some greasy, sharp things in there.
