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

Sorry about the experience, but I get those, too. LW is going on my watch list. Thanks.

 

What?

 

I test every system I make and it’s always on the workbench directly below me. Perhaps it would be a wise decision to wear hearing protection.

 

Have you considered Tundra brakes?

 

Sorry, T. It's a running joke around here. When someone says they think they lost hearing, the usual response is "what?"

Carry on and ignore me.

 

Lmaooo

 

Fuck a sway bar.....my baby handles like a dream...and you have not seen me drive....i get down, and it makes the girls wet when i do doughnuts in this pig. Toss that shit and get laid

Damn dude...thats sick!!! Maybe i need another 4 for the rear. ..lol

Lol...shoot back

 

what?

 

What kind of pad did you end up going with? Ive got some rotors but have yet to get pads. I'm thinking Akebono proact ceramic, but I'm open to any suggestions.

 

Got the engine bay pretty much ripped out today.

 

Akebono makes high quality brake pads.

 

I don't get worked up about brake pads anymore. They almost all will last longer than the rotors. In fact, the "squeelers" are not common on pads like they used to be.

 

my truck fits in with fall colours

 

Do you even have light Bros?

Looks neat

 

dont tell anyone but theyve been unhooked along with my horn for like 2 months so theyre just poser lights atm

No time today. My sister's Envoy blew a power steering hose. Major pain getting it out ( relay box, radiator, overflow tank, battery,... had to be removed) and had to go pull one from salvage yard. Fortunately I found one with the engine removed but lines still in place. No problem.

I have a lot of relatives who can't afford auto repairs,... except at my house. Actually, I am just glad to have a nice garage and the ability to help them.

I think I am going to have to start welding some hooks on specific pull points if I am going to save that inner fender.

 

Whatever it takes for those overlander points , are those the really Arb lights or? If I recall right that’s a no.

Do you have a link?

 

I actually did consider doing that! Went through a few links before I became a member and decided to put it on hold for now. I’m currently running the 4Runner Trail Edition Wheels on 33’s with 1.5 in. Spacers. Do you the tundra calipers would become a issue or interfere in any way or not necessarily?

 

I believe I got “BrakeBest Ceramic”. Pads were packaged in a yellow box. I always end up getting the cheapest products at O’Reilys but this time decided to treat myself and get the “middle tier” or “second highest in cost” product haha

 

You need at least a 16” wheel to run Tundra calipers without issue. Some 16” won’t work, but most will.

I’m running 3rd Gen TRD OR 16” wheels and there’s no clearance issues.
