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

You think Lt. Dan drives a manual?

 

When your vehicle has a manual transmission and you

 

Neither one crawls well until you throw a crawlbox in. Just sayin.

I've got a manual and I've got an auto. Granted my wheeling rig is the auto and it's not an apples to apples comparison to the manual Taco. I prefer to crawl in an auto. I prefer to go fast on dirt with a manual. That's why I have both. lol

 

Lift wheels and tires! Firestone said they wouldn’t align with SPC arms. Bleh.

 

Cool. Can you go back outside, stand on the other side of the truck and take a new photo with the sun is behind you so that we can actually see something in the photo?

 

Firestone has touched mine...hehe

They were going to charge extra to adjust the ball joint but that wasnt necessary. I just told them to use the cams and do it like the normally would. This was before I learned to do it myself. Extremely quick and easy with those uppers.

 

I have never had an automatic 4WD vehicle and I have never had an issue with a manual transmission.

Including my 89 Hilux.

 

nope. Not with that sass!

 

Just got my brother good at driving manual

 

jealous. I don’t mind paying extra I just want the alignment and they said “none of our techs have seen an aftermarket UCA” smh. So simple to deal with camber on them too, makes it way easier. I just want 0 toe/camber and ~3 caster. Waiting for a 4x4 alignment shop to open tomorrow.

 

Where are you located? Around here it's the same story with Firestone. I bought a lifetime package through them years ago but never use it anymore. They'll align my truck with the SPCs and Kings but they do a crap job. I pay to have it done at a local 4x4 shop now.

 

Bozen makes a built auto trans mount.




And owning both manuals and auto on our truck and wheeling them both a lot...hands down the manual is way way better.

Purely because you can use 5gears in low range haha

The heat issues suck.

The power loss sucks more

The control you get without regear is nice but a crutch that is slowly baking the tranny alive.


That's all for now. Carry on.

 

Do you have a link? My google skills are lacking apparently.

or I guess is it a solid mount? I don’t really want to change my motor mounts if I don’t have to

 

Got the bumper finished!!!

 

It's a poly bushing mounted one.

Check the fs section for @Bonzen Thread

 

Mmm, thanks, the bozen and bonzen is probably what mess me up

 

Tail Gear with custom hoops? Looks good

 

Put on my TW sticker

 

installing the 3" lift from toytec this weekend, along with upper and lower ball joints, inner and outer tie rod ends. Should be a project!

 

Sold her.
