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

Here's a convo from another thread about spring length vs spring rate, you see where the confusion comes from usually

 

Id get it done next time I rebuild them. Would I just ask them to soften them up?

 

Depending on who's doing it they'll have some questions to ask about your preferences for ride feel and they'll take into account your weight and spring rate.

 

Okay, I was thinking id send them to DCShocks.

 

I have no experience with them, I'd just feel them out first and ask what info they need to dial your ride in.

 

That seam should have gone on the inside. All well.

 

I'm not sure where Concord is exactly, but @Anthony250 is in SoCal (San Gabriel) and he rebuilt my SAWs for me and got it done super quick (picked them back up less than 2 days later).

 

Im in NorCal, not a lot of options up here

 

Let me know how ypu like the revalve. The rebound w my 700# ers is bad. But i actually get the right lift im going after for the front. I was considering revalving as well.

 

east of san francisco

 

Ill let you know, Ill probably wait until the end of the summer to get it done. I dont have any other coilovers to use while i get them rebuilt.

 

Ye

ah is did sell mine as a result of me thinking this might be a possible solution

 

I'll sell you my rebuilt 2.0 SAWs if you're interested...I got them for that reason (to run while my Kings get rebuilt) but my guy is local and gets it done fast so I can just bum a ride to work for a couple days.

Might be overkill but if you're interested let me know, gonna list them for $500 but there's a little wiggle room.

 

Yeah, that's what they're called for whatever reason

 

Ill pass, ill wait for some 5100's or something to come up cheaper.

 

I got my replacement stock bumper. Not oem it's just a temporary fix till I get a CBI one. But on a positive note it's powder coated black and matches my ARB bumper nicely

 

DOM is a harder steel. Put a piece of 1.75” HREW in a manual bender and bend it. Then put 1.75” DOM in there and bend it. DOM takes more effort.

Not 100 sure but I think HREW isn’t a true .120 like DOM. I would have to measure it when I get home. HREW is sold in gauge thickness

 

when it comes to sliders there the cheaper options in terms of armor and the most likely to see some knocks. in my opinion i would get the stronger option even if i think there overkill its a nice investment just in case you add more weight to the rig.

 

And that’s why it’s nice to build your truck to your liking. If that’s worth it to you “do it” if it’s not then don’t. You don’t know how many people told me not to link my truck because it’s over kill. Or don’t convert to 4x4..... But here I am.

 

living to @BartMaster1234 stubbornness lol good on you sir good on you. though there are a couple of things that overkill should not be done to lol. but thats another subject for another year
