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

You should hold on to those lbj for trail sparess

 

Thats a great feeling, staring at those old parts and wandering what you forgot to tighten.

 

I wish I had the opportunity to look at my old parts. The moment they come off, @Sperrunner takes them.

 

Mine are bent to shit and come on and off pretty easy.

Just slot all the bolts holes or make them a little larger diameter. Doesn't have to be prefect.

 

DIB it or lose it. Thats my motto

 

My main issues lie in the custom connection to the front crossmember, as well as always bending my one mid skid bolt on the first hit. Actually almost every mount is custom welded at this point except for the nuts in the front frame crossmember. Next time I have them off I might make them all a little larger.



The mid skid has taken a beating lately.

 

I run the same one in my power door retrofit harnesses. Did you notice the schematics for Negative and Positive trigger are switched?

 

They're shot... I don't have a problem buying new ones if I have to. After having a LBJ failure, Im worried about not keeping up with maintenance and reliable parts.

 

Haha yes exactly. we actually finished up at night and found out the next day the ABS sensor was loose. Couldn't figure out why it kept trying to grab at low speeds.

 

On Sunday, I installed a FOX steering stabilizer. This item has cured my occasional DS wheel hop.

 

I've seen 3 vehicles go up in flames due to seat heaters. 2 were equipped from the factory with them (both german). The last was Japanese that had aftermarket heaters. Definitely makes me leary about getting them.

 

Where you getting them for $7. For the two bearings, misalignment spacers, snap rings, and shipping, DSM charged me about $100

 

damn, that seems steep...I haven't looked into misalignment spacers but I got my spherical bearings and snap rings for $30 shipped from Wheelers.

 

Got a new set of bfgs today.heDed out for a wheel now

 

Now to find the time to install some parts.

 

At 7:30AM tomorrow she'll be on a transporter

 

Sell (or throw away) the rekluse for even more mod money!

 

Ya that's what I thought when I got the bill. I'll be contacting someone else next time.

 

Yes I did but thanks! Positive is negative and negative is positive so you use B that says “positive” but is negative. Lol

 

WOW! Love this!

Can you post what lights you got and where you got them? I am totally doing that.
