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

Thanks man. Gonna have at it this weekend. Shits been buggin me

 

Agreed.

My truck is pretty heavy, and I have 650lb coils on my ADS coilovers.

Also just had them revalved stiffer on the compression side and love it. D rated tires. Speaking of which @Blackdawg - standard progressive piston for rebound/compression.

 

Ive used that one. Works awesome.

there is a 1st gen rear kit from wheelers for them yes. None for the front

Yeah they are, they make them for the rear.

Say what?

 

Aren't you always saying they have progressive compression and digressive rebound? It was progressive on both sides.

 

Wheelers rear bumps? They sell them for 1st gens, I bought some a few months ago. unless you mean for the front...they don't sell those for us.

Edit: others beat me to it...Damn I need to start reading this thread from the most recent posts lol

 

Interesting. What ive always been told. Good to know.

 

That's me saying that about Icons haha

@Blackdawg

I thought he meant running them on the rear pad of the front arms, I know they makes them for the rear axle, I have a set haha

 

ah yes. Definitely not made for the front ha

 

I meant rear of the LCA. Im running them in the front of the LCA. maybe I should move them?

 

Might help keep them from splitting since the stock from mount is apparently a bit higher than the stock rear.

 

I think that's where @Blackdawg runs his if I'm not mistaken, or maybe they're on the rear. I know Ive heard of guys putting them in the front before.

 

way new bumper is on. my ears hurt from the impact lol

 

Mine are up front but cut down in height and have angled mounts

 

Im also curious to see how revalving correctly will work, i have e rated tires and the same set up as @Dan8906 yet i also have a winch so add 98#. It rode like a dream on the highway with the 650# coils but would bottom out way fast in the dirt on bumps or rocks if I wasnt too carefull. The 700#s ride fine on the street but rebound like a son of a bitch, this led me to the realization a stronger coil is not the answer. My neighbor has a wall mounted coil compressor. But I need to buy tools for the revalving. Ill probably talk to downsouth motorsports when I have some extra dough. Interested in hearing opinions as well. Cause I thought 100# bumper and 98# winch plus ifs n transfer skids would be enough to warrant the 700s. It has its positives, but definitely has its negatives and I wonder if it adds stress to the LCA bushings

 

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005C5UU0I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 this is the bumper i bought. came with everything bolts and nuts, license plate lights and covers and bumper to frame mounts as well as the plastic cover pieces. its actually pretty nice for not being oem

 

Part of the valvings job is to really slow shaft speed near the end of travel to stop bottoming. I would think a revalve would help a lot with your 650s

 

Thats kinda what ive been thinking. Especially now that I have been reading up more on the subject and trying to understand the way valving and how the shock actually work. I guess it boils down to the right shim stack.

 

Dang I gave mine away for free and it was in near perfect shape....should've sold it

 

Trying to look up a part on camelback but having difficulties, says I have to “request part”. ANyone know what brand the tps sensor is. Gonna look it up on rock auto and Amazon to price it out

 

its pretty damn nice..
