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

Nope, well I have an Fb but there's nothing there

 

I'd say both!

 

yes sir!! Greg took care of me. luckily my fabricator works right next door. so my truck was getting tubbed right after my back surgery, Greg went to town on my shocks. Love this turn key shit, but it gets pricey. "time is money! lol

You could even ship, $600 is ridiculous

 

Greg was amazing. Showed me around his shop and everything.

Should’ve seen the lift he made for his Jeep when he was 16. It was basically square tubing and baling wire. He had it up on the lift to rip it out.

 

I went to fuck town this weekend IYKWIM

 

Good dude!

 

Is that anywhere near Dickshooter, ID?

 

I do not have resvoir shocks. I need new springs, seals, Heims. And the shafts after some pitting

 

Well I'll avoid there

 

Trying Rock-n-Road in Loomis, California. It’s this small operation that does great work. They ship and receive from all over the county.

 

I had SDHQ rebuild mine, you can give them a call and if the shipping is really bad through them you can ship to me and I'll run em up there.

 

My local place wanted 125$ a Shock,


Not even local actually, half way across the state the long way now.

Havent Checked in SLC

 

Absolute steal of a price for a high quality pad. Thanks for the heads up on the part numbers interchangeability

 

You sure there's nothing else wrong with them? Might be better off buying a new set versus shipping them somewhere to find out they're trash.

Even if it's just that, add the parts into a standard rebuild and you'll be at $300 a shock easy.

 

Amazon has an inexpensive Koyo radiator for our tacos.
Edit: just saw the posts mentioning the Denso, that might've been what I was thinking. It's been a couple years since I did this.

 

LMAO!! damn!!

 

Got my ARB bumper front bumper and Warn winch mounted today. I couldn't rent an engine hoist and this whore wasn't going to wait. It's a good thing that I don't skip leg day because I just dead lifted that pig on to the mounts. I did wrap the body with blue painters tape and foam. I got most of the interior back together now, I just need to put the door panels back on, but I need a few parts before I do.

 

I haven't made that argument, maybe revalve capabilities. If anyone thinks they're saving money by getting something rebuildable they're fooling themselves. I paid $150 per shock to rebuild mine plus new bearings, which could have bought me another set of OMEs.

You're paying for performance.

The other problem is, if you let them go to long between rebuilds, you can completely trash them, especially in areas where corrosion is an issue.

Got to pay to play.

 

Even my blown icons rode nicer than billies and stock, but rebuilt icons kicked blown icons ass everywhere.

 

No. Don't want to invest in a good spring compressor and a nitrogen setup. Otherwise I would.
