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

you need to install your front lift before the third week of october

I was thinking pismo might not be as fun as some other options that we could all meet somewhere in the middle of the state.

 

If you do it on a weekend, I'm in.

 

The pathfinder probably didn't have any business there, that's kind of my point. Would a fifteen buck level o gauge saved him? Most likely not, but for a small price, it might make you think about what you're getting yourself into before you kill yourself going off that road.

Usually, you can tell if something will be getting sketchier or not. If you're at 25 or 30 degrees, and it's going to get tippier, that might be a good time to think things through a little more. Having that cheap reminder on that dash is worth it IMO.

This particular road might be the single most dangerous section I've ever driven. So yes, there's lots of constant decision making going on, and a few extra tools at my disposal can't be a bad thing.

 

Looking at doing a front-end rebuild while I tear into it for the front lift. What kind of things should I be replacing, and what are your recommendations?

I'm definitely doing the Lower Ball Joints. My sway bar bushings are shot, but I might just remove it if the truck still rides well with the Icons.

 

1st gen nationals?

 

You should come wheel this trail, and we'll see she calls it in relation to my level o gauge.

 

Especially you since you never even have used 4wd..

Never. You don't know what wheeling is and never will at this rate.

Well..thats not saying much. I don't get why that trail has such a rep for being scary or bad. Super chill road.

Though that one looks not chill at all! haha

 

If I never go on a wheeling trip, then when will I get to use 4WD?

 

Black Bear in a jeep might be scary. It was not really that bad in my Tacoma, even in the rain.

 

I have a job so a weekend warrior it will be

1st gen intro haha

Im trying to change that for the dude, we will document and make sure he gets stuck at least twice lol

 

Maybe I'll even put my Relentless Fab bumper and sliders on!

 

That looks awesome! Ive got to make my way to colorodo one of these days

 

Get the sliders on asap and the front suspension haha

 

Might have to get creative with the sliders. They didn't come with the tubes that mount it to the truck, might have to call Relentless and see if I can order some.

 

Because you still haven't figured out how to drive 2 hours to go yourself..

yeah I didn't think it was bad at all. Morrison is much more intense

No you won't.

Plus its not needed and surely not required to have fun in the dirt.

 

You love to be a negative nancy, don't you.

 

should have seen him on the Pryor switchbacks this last trip lol

 

lol at the truth getting laid down in here

 

Im going for the asshole approach in hopes you be like "fuck him i'm going wheeling!"

 

I don't know why I come back here time and time again, all I do is get roasted 24/7.
