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

I had to bend my float to get it to work after denting my tank.

 

I've done the high clearance gas tank mod...

Changed the upper balljoints today and yesterday.

Took 2 days cause I was sad I had the wrong lowers

 

Haven't done anything but watch snow pile up on the truck today. Blizzard here in Denver, hopefully things clear up by Friday when I plan on heading home.

 

I just brushed the iceberg sheets of ice/slush off my truck. Denver is getting hit harder than here.

 

Finally got the muds put on. Very surprised how quiet these km3's are with a super smooth ride. They definitely suck up the bumps as if they weren't even there. Actually much better ride than my old km2's

 

what?

If you have a really siped tire..and your offroading in big rocks..they chunk easier.

The world is nothing but compromise, tires are no different. Why theres so many tires!

 

Yeah I tend to agree, MT are MT for a reason. They work well in the dirt and mud. They aren't a compromise in performance in those sectors. If you want big compromise AT are the way to go. They do a little of everything but they don't do anything great

 

I siped my KM2’s quite a bit, I was expecting them to chunk a lot but they held up pretty well. Definitely improved traction on compact snow and ice.

 

I've been pleasantly surprised how much mine haven't chunked with my less than judicious skinny pedal usage. I'm strongly considering a set of the KM3 in 35" for the cruiser

 

My extreme countries have been the shit, and they’re only 500$

 

What did the 2881

what did the springs run ya? I have a similar set up, minus the springs. Still have the original OEM springs, on the top setting. Looking to upgrade the springs.

 

Picked up this ARE CX from Craigslist. Never thought I would find a stepside specific one used. In the right color as well.

 

What kind of lift do you have?

 

I’d guess a 6” drop bracket lift

 

Added some amber lights under the headlight.

 

That looks good. LEDs or something different? Are they tied into the turn signals at all?

 

I wouldn't call those siped really. Sure more than a KM but not like a Ko2 or something.

Is why they do so much better than a KM or MTR in snow though.

 

No there not tied into the turn signal or anything. There just some cheapos i found on Amazon. Idk how great they’ll last since there cheap but for now they look good and they actually give off a good amount of light considering my headlights are garbage.

 

How do they look all lit up??
