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

The wife and I have D6. I might still grab a D3-5... or if I end up hunting that way, I may just grab a bear tag.

It's going to be a wierd season. I'm already seeing a LOT more archers in the area we hunt than normal. The Donnell fire has a lot of land closed up... Niagra, Eagle, Long Valley, Fence creek and a bunch of other campgrounds are closed.

But then D3-5 you've got a lot of land shut down with SPI closing their land... It'll be interesting.

 

I know, I still haven’t decided where to go.

 

Finally painted my chrome grille

 

god i love imperial jade mica when its clean

 

It’s njce to drive.

The odometer says I’m at 280 miles and 1/4 tank.

I do not know if it’s been filled and not reset but I sure like it. Also feels a lot more peppy, and Christ is it quite in the cab, quite tires and quite exhaust, like a totally different experience.

 

Hit 120k miles, so it got an oil change and a tire rotation.

 

Anyone running General Spring Leaf packs?

Looks like a nice OEM replacement. Just need some for my reg cab. One is broken.

 

Dont have them but ive seen lots of mixed reviews about them on here

 

mixed huh? like people getting HD springs and complaining about the ride? or actually other issues?

Wheelers doesn't make their 4 packs anymore which sucks. Don't see a lot of other options..Dorman I guess.

 

you got a gem of a truck... just go all out and get oem leafs, its only money (lol um... i dont know of any other stock replacements other than general or dorman)

 

Haha I mean. I realize the awesomeness of the like truck. But I just want a nice ride and no lift. Like none. No need for it.

Hmm. Well general spring it might be. Not paying oem price haha

 

There are some guys bitching about them in here

700 a side is chump change my friend. (not really.. i would never spend that much for leafs..) i just got lucky and got the leafs for my father truck when they did my frame (had deavers)

 

actually.. theres an option, call up deaver for some factory replacements. bet they'd build em

 

I havent been too crazy about mine. I had their HD set and they were great at first but now 2yrs later they are flat with nothing in the bed and a camper shell on top. And that was with just moderate, occasional loads in the bed but usually empty.

 

Or alcan

 

Alcan used to make wheelers 4 packs for them. Might just ask for those from them. Planning on a new set from them anyways. Might as well save on shipping and get two sets.

 

I am almost 100% positive that’s the brand I had before my alcans. Had them on less than a year and 1/2 before I thought they needed replaced again.

Might be fine for your the cab, unless that’s gonna be your new work truck

 

Scour craigslist if you can. I had brand new leafs given to me when I got my frame swap, sold them for the cost of Dakars.

 

Parted out tacomas are hard to find up here. Will look for sure but have low hopes.
