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

Ah ok, makes sense... Its only a very small portion that rubs so tonight after work I am definitely cutting away at it

 

265/75r16
I have no rub with the 1" lift, until spacer and its such a small amount of area on the fenders that rubs so i am just cutting it after work

 

Pretty reasonable price today on the OEM gasket kit (both diffs + transfer case) for $7.98 (usually $9-11)

• GENUINE TOYOTA GASKET KIT
• 12157-10010 TAKES QTY 3 TWO FOR REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND 1 FOR FRONT DIFFERENTIAL
• 90430-24003 TAKES QTY 1 FOR FRONT DIFFERENTIAL
• 90430-A0003 TAKES QTY 2 TRANSFER CASE

 

Thanks! I’m about due for this service again

 

why do those look like crush washers and not actually seals haha

 

Finished welding in the driver's side and got it sealed.



Still have room to clutch but it might get awkward with wide boots



Cut the rear fenders then put the 35s on the rear

 

Umm, I don't follow. The diffs and t-case use crush washers... so that's what I'd hope you get.

 

Oh...

I was envisioning the actual seals. Never mind ha

 

Spacers help with rubbing the frame, but make fender rubbing worse usually

Holy fuck I want those stickers. TEAM ROCK DAMAGE.

 

made them myself

 

Eh, if you don't know about AGMs then you'll likely be suited for a traditional flooded lead acid battery. My 4 year old Interstate MTP-24F has been running strong and still is good, but driving on washboard makes it spill out everywhere, so a fully sealed battery is better for me. Also, I am going to be running a fridge off my main battery (not a dual-battery setup), so this AGM gives me double the capacity of my Interstate, which is already like 20-30% greater than the stock spec.

 

Need some pointers/advise. I'm looking to rear shock relocate, flip my U-bolts, and Chevy 63.

Am I forgetting anything, that I need to add to this list?

And obviously, I'll need shocks. I have 12 inch travel FOX 2.0 reservoir shocks ready to go.

 

Desperate times...

 

Someone in the 1st gen Marketplace had a BAMF 1st gen rear shock relocation kit for sale for pretty cheap, as of a few days ago it was still available iirc

 

A buddy of mine linked me to that. Dude wants full new price ($200+ +shipping) for the BAMF kit. The Chasis Unlimited kit is less than half that and I can go pick it up.

 

Ah, I didn't know it was the same price as new

 

Well seeing as it's a discontinued part it'll be the cheapest you'll find without making your own similar mount

 

Yeah it makes sense he's asking full price for it given that it's discontinued. But if @Uphillshunter found a better deal on a different kit locally then that'd be the way to go unless it was somehow inferior to the BAMF one, but I wouldn't know. Still running stock rear mounts over here
