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

Those BPVs don't work very well anyways.

Just cut the rod and zip tie it all the way up for maximum rear brakes. Or better yet swap it for a manual valve.

 

I think I’ll just chop the damn thing off after the axle. Thank you though!

 

Everyone does it so you have to too.

 

Couldn’t find any malls in the city, so here’s parking garage crawling.

 

Put some 255/80-17s on. Did some mild trails. Didn't get any rubbing where I'd normally get with the 285/75-16s.

 

Replaced a CV that about due.

 

No definitely not, I had a bunch of leftover 1/0 cable from the big three upgrade to do the relocation. Also helped having all the lugs and crimper too.

 

@eon_blue You happen to have a write-up on coilover and control arm installation?

 

I can walk you through it if needed but just about ever build on here can as well haha

 

Isn’t it like 8 bolts per side?

 

Yup

If no one else posted it

 

That stupid thing just makes you force the exhaust lower than it should be. Gotta chop or rebend the pipe or it's just gonna cause a stress fracture

 

Well he said he liked it going out the side or whatever.

And let’s be honest, look who were talking about , no stress will b applied

 

ISU or USU?

 

Usu

 

No write up sorry...but the coilovers are super easy, just bolt right in. Take the bottom bolt out and the three top hat bolts (don't loosen or remove the main bolt in the middle of the top hat that holds the spring/shock together). I didn't do my UCAs but the hard part is just getting the long bolt out...just takes some muscle to work around the small area and make room for it to come out.

I don't know about Icons but my Kings were fairly easy to adjust for height with them still on the truck...you might want to adjust your Icons prior to putting them on if you can. Will still probably have to make adjustments to fine tune it though once it's all bolted up.

 

I adjusted my Icons on the truck with weight on them no prob.

 

yeah it's not too bad. Hardest part for me was working around the UCA...it blocked some of the holes that the spanner wrench goes into. I ended up taking the bottom bolt out so I could pull the coilover body away from the UCA and did it that way (had a friend hold the bottom of the shock to help keep it from moving.

At least I think that's how I did it...was awhile ago lol. Either that or I removed the top 3 bolts and kept the bottom bolted it...it only works one way, I remember that much.
