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

That looks like it was a pain in the ass.

 

Boy oh boy, finally put the lift and new tires/wheels on
Before & After shot below:

 

You could always do a 1” level lift on the front. I did it and it’s worked out well. Will be stuffing some 33s in the near future but there’s loads of room for my 31s.

 

I found this when I was looking into it a while ago just in case I needed to do it. Not sure if will help you, but it’s a step in that direction.

Now you get to realize that the clock is pretty useless as it is blocked by the steering wheel/wiper stalk!

 

@Gen1FTMFW blame my inexperience on Forums, I'm still learning, and didn't know that about he bold font. I've been highlighting user names, copy and paste. Then when I type my messages, the bold fonts are showing up, so thanks for the tip and lessons on messaging on forums. 61 years young, and my first forum. Appreciate the heads up.

 

Mine is perfectly viewable, all depends on the year...

 

And your height

 

Gen1FTMFW is using trick photography, or is 8 feet tall with his head all bent over. I don't think I've ever seen my clock while sitting behind the wheel.

 

Me either and I drive a 2000 too

 

Nope, taken from my line of sight. I'm 5'10" and have never had a problem. Guess I never put myself in the shoes of someone of shorter stature than myself.

 

Exactly what I have been looking for. Thank you very much! Apparently I was searching for the wrong terms.

 

I'm 6'4" and have to lean over to see it

 

Weird. I have to contort in order to NOT see it.

 

Has a lot to do with where the wheel is tilted

 

Can we petition a Mod to change his nick to TacoLurch or something similar?

(Sorry, short guy here. Let me have my moment....)

 

Meh

And seat I'm sure.

 

I plan on retaining the original but making an adjustable bracket for it. Basically cut all but an inch of the rod that connects to the axle off. Then mount a piece of angle on the mounting points. Drill a hole above the rod. Weld a nut with a similar ID as the OD of the rod to a bolt. Put the bolt thought the hole and tighten the nut until you have your desired brake bias. Hope that made sense, hope to do it in the next month. I'll post a picture of it.

You can fit 33's with no lift. Somewhere around 4-3.5" bs seems ideal.

I have a 1" bl. With it you're able to mount your rear shock crossmember member directly over the axle and it can double as another bed support. It also helped my UCA's from punching the fender well but that wasn't really a big deal.
