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

hey man. at least you dont have my pile of parts. lol

 

Thanks for sharing those pics! Really like seeing the TRD Hilux -- those TRD labled Rails are pretty cool.

Finally got some things done (rather than break things...) today... Okay, I broke the passenger vent tabs so I'll have to figure out what the part number is for that! -- installed the new Corner lights, threw velcro around the rattly bits of the dash and installed a metal plate in the armrest because the plastic had split and it's stiff and a good armrest again

 

I think Wheelers sells the TC kit like they do their gusseted spindles and what not.

 

Rear bumps from Plastics Guy on the way. And a u-bolt flip kit with holes the correct spacing for the bumps, @Digiratus .

 

Cut me some bedsides. More pics in build.

 

Doesnt say who it's from, could very well be TC

 

TC right in the pic.

 

Yeah it does lol

 

My bad, missed that part

 

Yeah thats total chaos' kit.

Two people here I know have it. @lotsoftoys but he is selling his truck. @alphabravo but he isn't active much.

Someone else had it but not a big poster so can't remember it.

I have it as well just haven't installed it.

You have to run wheel spacers and will likely still rub anyways and only run 2.0 shocks. Does improve stability and handling. If you like to go fast, that could be the kit for you.

Archive Garage is in process of making some towers for 2.5'' shocks.

 

I stalked that thread a good bit but for what I do 2.0 remote res will be plenty, also about to have my 1.5" spacers so rubbing should be not much if any

 

You'll still rub but not much.

Oh yea @austinmtb has the kit too. I don't think he is running resi shocks even but still works good.

Im gonna run the TC kit on Igor and try the Archive one on Frank.

 

I believe Frank just needs shocks going through the bed

 

nah.






coilovers through the bed.



but thats gotta wait a bit..

 

If you would quit buying 1st gens it would probably be done by now

 

Welcome to the madness!

 

Why you change power steering fluid: this came from the first pull from the 95 model (255,000 miles) I recently bought.

 

Or just have one truck that does everything fairly well and isn't continually broken.

Just wait for the photographic evidence of the beating I did to my rig in Moab, while camping in comfort.

 

Need to quite moving is what I need to do..

Plus I love all my tacos

Nah. Race truck.

Need a garage again. thats really whats holding me back right now. No place to work. Long cold winters.

 

Mine was in the air again.

I'd be willing to bet you can't keep up even with your LT front given your blown out rear setup.


The more I beat on my rig the more I realize that the front MT, even after a quality revalve, can't keep up with my rear suspension. Wish there was a +2 kit for 1st gens. I don't want the width.
