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

Technically it's 3/8 or 0.375 or 37.5%. I just rounded for ease for everyone else

 

Lunar mist is a discontinued color. Can’t say silver.

Que?

 

I was thinking the same while doing the SAC. I did the Tundra upgrade years before and it still works well. After all, staying with Toyota parts is easier as I already have a shitload of non-Tacoma part numbers to keep track of.

 

After all these years and people still say that
As others have said most aluminum wheels fit.

This has pretty much everything you need to know.

 

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but the Tundra upgrade is only for 6 lug trucks.

BUT, there is a big brake option for 5 lugs. Takes a little more work (mainly machining the rotors) but it's still bad ass and pretty much bolt on. You'll need to jump to 17's though...

New shoes today. STT Pro's in the stock variety (31x10.50r15). I didn't realize how out of balance the old shoes were until I drove it home. Night and day. I can't remember when my taco drove this smooth!

 

Looks right, did you notice how the V6 is super heavier than the 4 cyl? 40 lbs heavier. I saw it documented a few years ago and posted it here I think as well. So for lift consideration, consider the extra cab tacos equal.

 

Oh I love the feel of cruising in some nice new tires especially when they're Michelins or any quality tire, so smoooooth

 

Isn't that comparing auto to manual though?

 

You're right. It's 40 lbs. I'll edit

 

Not much though, which is interesting.

 

And the weight is shared, though prolly 30 lbs stays up front and divided by 2, each coil over will see an additional 15 lbs, give or take

 

Replaced my old methods with some Mickey Thompson wheels and threw some new nittos on while I was at it.

Thanks guys....i probably wont lol

 

I believe that is the one I'm running. I've had zero problems with it.

 

Of course you wont.







Because you wont be able to.







Because Tundra brakes don't work on Solid Axle.
