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

There's a lot of photos.

This last one will somehow top this one though I'm sure hahaha

Trust me I wish I could just live out of the truck...well ..and work on it

 

BAMF OR 4X INNOVATION for sliders? both on sale..leaning toward 4x due to price is less and they are in stock. Bamf said with the sale it will most likely be around 6 months lead time.

 

How long did that take to get to you?

 

Mine took like a week after asking for one...

 

Who do we ask for those! Lol

 

PM @tcBob...he'll hook you up.

 

Is he with a company ?

 

@tcBob is the owner of the forum. Haha.

PM him, I got mine after week of asking. I believe the website sells it too

 

Shit. I was TW from my phone, I thought that in response to my sliders question. lol I was confused.

 

BAMF is stout AF.

my 4x haven't let me down. some big as dents, but they have done there job.

 

This happened to mine when I came down a rock ledge and landed hard on the passenger side slider...my buddy riding shotgun who is 6'3" and 290lbs didn't help lol

 

it will probably do anything too hard. so i think the 4x will be fine.

 

4x is good. Can't go wrong.

Unless you plan on having wide ass stance with spacers then go bamf as the kick out is so big.

 

Mmmm, I forgot, I broke 271k yesterday during my rescue trip on my 99, pretty sad its only had 1000 miles put on it since August...

 

what's a bad rear shock sound like? I have a nasty clunk/clank coming from my rear end since Pismo but everything is torqued that I can think of to check...ubolts, hangar bolts, shackle, etc. Happens any time I hit a speed bump in the back end or if I accelerate quick from a stop

 

I dunno if it would have a sound, unless it absolutely trashed, but I could be wrong.

Is your spare tire still back there?

 

Nope it's in the bed, been in there since I was on 32s lol.

I double checked the spare tire hangar though, as I zip tied it up to keep it from banging around. This is a very distinct "clack" sound like something smacking something else...weird. My next move it to take the skids off (only have IFS and t-case) but if one of them is loose or hitting something that could be it. The fact that it only comes from the rear when the rear hits a bump though makes me feel like it's the rear suspension somehow. Checked the leafs for any obvious signs of one breaking but they look good.

I thought I remembered @Speedytech7 saying awhile back that when his Icons needed rebuilding they made a clicking or clacking sound

 

They do, but that's because the bearings were toasted. They make a squelching noise when they blow out

 

hm yeah my gut is telling me it's not the rear shocks. Something is loose I just have to find it...I love playing this game (not)

 

Anything in the bed or on the rack?
