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

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.

 

What’s the occasion?

 

i cant find the exact link but i believe these are the same. there are a few different versions available.

they are extremely impressive for the price and i love the look of 9 inchers.

 

I was lookin at the smaller ones, 9” is a bit much for now.



And yes, that’s probably what she said.

 

Not today, but yesterday I took the truck down to SOS Concepts in SC to get my sliders. Really happy with them. Next is skids then go have a little fun.

 

Probably will have to weld into some point.. that front end was pretty folded

I know the working on everyone else’s stuff. I make decent money on the side. But family is usually free lol. Takes up a lot of time when a big chunk of your family drives clunkers

 

They are 17s, so you won't have any problems. In fact, you could go all in and skip the 13WG/13WL calipers and get the 13WH units. 338mm rotor versus 319. Mo' stopping power.

I'm considering it.

 

I'm running Akebono ceramics & I'm happy with them. I used to always run Hawk ceramics in the past but won't be anymore, they're too expensive. I normally care about quality over price but the Akebonos are much cheaper & are performing well for me. My last set of Hawk pads made weird grinding noises after they got loaded up.

Here's a little secret instead of running

$60 ACT436 Proact Ultra Premium Ceramic Disc Brake Pad kit, GREY

ACT436 that's listed for our trucks, I'm running

$45 ACT799 Proact Ultra Premium Ceramic Disc Brake Pad kit , GREY

ACT799 which is listed for pre-2001. Same pads, just the wear indicators are different which I don't care about. $32 vs $51.

 

Your drive looks a lot more fun than mine was.

But can confirm that fall as set in also.

 

New tail lights and third break lights

Looks like these

 

Yanked the trans...
Anybody got a good lead on a reman w59 w/core exchange?

 

They're pretty cheap from the junkyard and they don't regularly fail. Usually 75-150 for junkyard one. But you can get a rebuilt one from Marlin Crawler for a pretty penny too

 

Found and removed a Lizard, get out of here you freeloader

 

How hard was the 3rd break light to instill. I have the same tail lights but smoked

 

It wasn’t very hard to get to in my 99, but You have the vinyl roof don’t you, that might make it suck, don’t know for sure.

I got a 2 inch hole in my current frame I give a year or so before it bust in half or my gas tank falls off. So I’m doing frame swap.

Busted out some more hours on it.
Got all the electrical,heater,harness and shit!
