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

I have Fox on the rear

how do they handle high rates of speed, 80-95mph

 

I ran them 80 to 90 most of the 3 day ride from Utah to Alabama

 

I’m not sure. Nothing stood out really, so I cleaned up everything with some part cleaner and going to monitor. It was about a quart low which is very odd. I changed it about a month ago. And it was low at all.

 

any chance you traveled through my town on I-80 in NE with those
over this kind of crap road condition?

 

I will report back after an alignment

 

those look swell with the Doug Thorleys peeking behind

 

No, stayed south through Oklahoma and Texas

 

If anyone is interested, URD has short throw shifters on sale. I don’t have one but have been considering it.

Brought out the 83mm hole saw and puckered up!

 

What does this do besides the obvious shorter shift throw? Is it supposed to improve shifting or something?

 

I don't know about improving but it would be nice for a supercharged truck at least to have less lag in between shifts due to the longer throw of the stock shifter. I'm interested in one but it's low on my list

 

It just shortens the throw. If you have a sloppy shifter now, you'll still need to replace the bushing and the nylon part at the end of the ball as it uses those stock parts.

 

I’m interested to hear if anyone has any feedback that has one. I do know that it increases your shifter height.

 

I have one in my SC Taco. It was an easy install, the shifts are just as smooth without it, the throw is a lot shorter though.

 

Did you do the rear shock relocation to run those?

 

no but I have a 3 inch lift with extended bump stops

 

Found the source of the clicking in the front end whenever I go over a bump.

Good news is it's not my suspension. Bad news is that I have to take off my winch and bumper to get to the core support mount where it's coming from....

Wishing I would have gotten rubber body mounts rather than the poly ones

So now that I have my kings installed I probably needs some new upper control arms.

I see some many, what are the best for my condition of 1” lift
?
SPC, TOTAL CHAOS,

Is the uniball a good design?

 

I'd go SPC for your use. Lots of people run them and they have the same if not more articulation than the total chaos ones (not that that matters for your 1" of lift)
Much lower maintenance and much more adjustability.
