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

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.

 

One more. What a great truck.

 

Easier project than you’d think and this thread is a good one to ask for help if you get stuck. Lotta knowledge in here.

 

To each his own...

Stalling out in obsticles sucks.

Too much wheel speed in mud and snow sucks.

Replacing a burned up clutch sucks.

 

Lemme know if you want help. I think you’re Utah, maybe Montana though.

 

Only if you suck

It's a weekend gig and again, only needs to be done if you suck

Too much wheel speed in snow is the definition of fun, but it's all controllable, dunno how much mud you think you're gonna creepy crawl through, you'll dig in all the same and won't clean your tread blocks out


This is the inclusive "you" by the way, only applies to you if you think it does

 

Yes.
No.
Yes.

I don't know what type of snow wheeling you do but when I break trails I'm bouncing off the rev limiter. You need wheel speed to clear the lugs to keep going. The same applies to mud but I stay out of that shit. I'm not 25 anymore. lol

 

I’m all about that wheel speed in crusty snow, can’t stop or slow down to shift

 

Don't slow down to shift keep the foot on the gas and kick the clutch wheel jamming the lever. That's tons of fun on slippery surfaces

 

I have 0 experience with any of what you just said

 

Which explains why you thought you might slow down to shift, carry on

 

I just like stirring the pot.


5 speed is best speed.

 

I wouldnt say that applies to the A340 haha.

 

lmfao! That is the 100% most over used lie in all of off roading.

"You only kill it if you don't know what you're doing"



Buuuuuullllll shhhhhhit.

 

Whatever you gotta tell yourself I guess. It's gonna happen accidentally once in a while there's a button for that if you can't handle starting it back up yourself. But it's seldom a real issue, it's not like stall after stall, unless you suck that is

But you call bull all you like, eventually one will show up to play

 

Like I said... to each his own. I'm totally fine with my auto trans.

Millar Lite is less filling btw... (only the old guys will probably understand what that is refrencing)

 

In other news...


Making progress on @RobertsT4R

Went from this



To this





And for the record... these piece of shit T4R wheels don't work with Tundra brakes...




Ask me how I know

 

I'll take the electric crawl box when things get to the point of stalling. Much more control than an auto.

Not sure what a trans has to do with wheel speed.

Replacing a trans sucks too when it cooks itself.
