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

Can anyone give me the torque spec on this one real quick?

@Blackdawg @Speedytech7

 

I do not know it off the top of my head. @Empty_Lord or at @Reh5108 might though

 

Did you mean to type this or did you just type what you were thinking.

Just curious if I’m the only one that does it.

should be the info you need

 

What I was thinking, I screwed up empty Lord's name and when I retyped it I guess I did that

 

Thank you

 

I gave my bed a quarter inch body lift today. Used some big washers as spacers, pretty easy. Why you might ask would I do that? Well when I lower the tailgate there was very little space between the tailgate and the bumper. When we have any snow at all I would have to completely clear it off the bumper or the tailgate wouldn't go all the way down. Now there is enough space between them that it shouldn't be a problem.

 

Finally got to installing my "new" drivers seat. Seat is out of gen 3 4runner and I reskinned them with Katzkins. Put in heating elements as well but haven't wired those yet. I'm a little worried about doing the passengers side now because it doesn't scoot forward as much as I thought it would

 

Nice. How much did it cost you? Looks a lot better than mine, but then again I did mine myself.

 

Seats were $100 on CL and the Katzkins were $800. I'm really impressed with the quality and fit. I'm impressed with yours though. No way I could do it myself.

 

How did your clutch swap turn out?

 

Thanks. I have about $100 in leather cost in mine.

 

LIKE THE SHELLS. ANY MORE PICS?

 

Good. Everything went back together just fine. One thing I noticed is it sounds different when cranking the starter. Not bad or anything, just different. I think it's because I put a new flywheel on that has new sharp teeth.

 

Thanks man. That’s a bit higher than I expected. So That means the stock pack with no sag is about ~22.5” witch I think is what ToyTec says it is.

I don’t really know what to do now. I don’t really want any more than 23” on the rear. Mine would be sitting ass high because I won’t go higher than 2” up front.

 

Mine is a leer I got for $150 on CL. Working on replacing all the seals and screens. Planning to paint it this spring.

 

Good find! Mine needs a paint job too, but sort of liking the black and white look.

 

If you put any weight they level out. Which is how they should be set up. But i like them they do ride really nice. I know thats subjective. Just a little weight in the back and they go from good to amazing.
But good luck either way.
I don't really think you'll be able to tell a 1" difference. But with your size tires id like the extra room.

 

Installed a fluid reservoir today. Haven’t had one since I bought the truck. Should have done this a long time ago. I need to put a riv-nut for the top bolt there.

 

I’m just picky dude. Thing is I like a bit of the rear end being higher in an extended cab like yours. But with the double cabs I like it to sit dead level. I prefer it to be level empty and squat carrying a load because it’s empty most of the time. I probably carry ~350lbs for an few hours at a time a few times a month.
