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

Truck is back and the 4.88s feel great!

 

Did they actually back out? Doesn't sound like you changed the gaskets recently so why would they suddenly be loose? You could use locktite but only use blue if anything. I would suspect the gaskets if you haven't done them before and tighten the bolts properly with new bolt grommet things.

 

Got her registered

 

Super nice, aren't they?

Here was the graphic of "driving funness" I created when I posted about my new gears, hahahahahaha. Best mod ever IMO.

​

 

Now get 35

 

How did you correct the speedo?

 

Change the spedo gear in the tcase.

30 tooth is stock, a 33 tooth is perfect for 4.88s and 33s.

Where do I get that gear?

One for 35s?

 

Quick test setup and let the tent air out for a little bit.

 

Where the daughter is making you sleep while you're visiting? Lol

 

He's in AZ, that might be the nicest room in the house with the weather right now

 

Lol I thought he mentioned he was in Cali to pick up tent and was visiting daughter while doing it, I prolly got em mixed up with someone else. Still the best room in the house though ;D

 

Oh my b, you're right then haha. As long as there isn't too much road noise I like being n my tent actually haha

 

Me as well, I remember 10 years ago spending nights in mine in summer at home parked on side of home mounted on the 80 series haha

 

I put a bigger boy antenna on today, still a mag mount though

 

Almost seems linear, so maybe a 35 tooth
