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

Yep, 285s. Back is slightly taller than the front but everything I read said it will settle over time.

The other thing might be right now it’s on stock bumper, no skids (waiting on skids and bumper just not installed yet). Maybe the whole setup’s just not good for the current weight?

 

They are. Did you know you are the 2nd person to quote Bones to me in the last couple of days.

What ever happened to those 9.25" rear billies I gave you?

 

Pretty sure they're in my garage, what length eye to eye to you need. I have lots of shocks in my shock pile.

 

Not sure, gonna confirm in the a.m. Wondering if there’s just not enough weight on it for the setup. I have a 111 lb bumper, 86 lb winch and waiting on skids that should make a difference.

 

An aftermarket rear bumper isnt gonna add 200 pounds though. Maybe if you went full broverlander...

 

Not sure I’m cool enough for full broverlander. Maybe I can just throw a fat chick back there with a Camelbak full of Kool-Aid.

 

That sounds like the classic K-Mart trim

 

Fill it with cheap booze and you'll fit right in at Uwharrie, unfortunetly.

 

Too be fair, if a big girl with a Camelback full of cheap booze wanted to go ride around URE...........I’d probably ask her about these post-lift vibes too!

 

The current ones are 8.5" travel. IIRC 23"/14".

Pretty sure these are the ones I had on there while the Foxes were rebuilt the last time. They are the same ones you got from me.

That place sure attracts some "interesting" types of people.

 

Got the truck smogged this morning.

Then @Pella and I had heard they started opening a bunch of access roads up the hill... So we decided we'd go on a day adventure and see if we could get lost.



Gaia kept us from getting lost.... but we found some good spots and went in to some country niether of us had been in before.

And I only got stuck once

 

That is some Thick slop, looks like you guys had a great time though!

 

It was a great time.

It was some thick gooey mess. I was in mud for about 100 yards before coming around the bend and in to that junk. Was really kind of deceptive. Looked like it was more of the same mud I was already in, and then the bottom fell out.

Luckily @Pella was there to save my bacon... otherwise I would have gotten my brand new traction boards dirty lol.

 

Put most of my trim pieces back on after paint. Also finally mounted the rear bumper up. Waiting to put wheel well liners and flares on after I switch out my UCA's.

 

Paint looks great

 

Not sure if those X-Bull or any other brand traction boards for that matter would've helped in that slop. Looks like you were really in it - and had an awesome time!

 

Luckily I didn't have to find out. It was a pretty easy pull for Josh. As soon as he put pressure on the strap, it put weight back on my passenger side rear tire and I was pretty much out of it.

 

I finally got done with my 3 day ban (totally worth it ). The ban gave me time to get my skids installed though...

 

I remember when my Budbilt IFS looked that nice lol
