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

Check out Steelman_built on IG he had one on his silver DC with plenty of pics

 

I'm not sure about the bolt, but I don't think so. How are your rack bushings? Usually play in the rack means your bushings are shot

 

It's just like a dremel and it uses the same accessories. I like it because I can change it with my other batteries instead of having to stop and charge up my dremel when I run down the battery. I would get another one for sure.

 

Yea I remember you saying that sometime before. I'll double check them because I don't remember the last time I checked the torque spec on both the UCA thru bolts & the uni-ball to spindle bolt.

 

Oil change and tire rotation...oh yeah.

 

Nope.

 

Nice rack

 

I debated for a quick minute on saying this exact same thing.... I decided to let it slide. I really should have seized the opportunity because who doesn’t love a nice rack?

 

TW expects a FULL write up on your install...

 

Well duh! But seriously, that rack is so clean and nice. Reminds me of a freshly washed pair of double D's

You sure its coming from your Rack ??..Usually everything wears together, rack,tie rod ends, steering shaft,ect,
I just did that steering shaft Mod and my trucks on point over 100 + on the hwy,I just went though that whole floating thing on my front end on he hwy,did rack, tie rod, and steering mod and its solid now.

 

Not sure if you meant to quote his message or mine, so sorry if not mine.

I had someone else turn my steering wheel while I was underneath and I saw my entire rack shift from side to side.

 

The Rack will move side to side alittle naturally,if your running polyurethane bushings It will have a little less..

 

Just had my Prerunner converted to 4wd with some 5.29 gears and a rear Detroit locker. And wow! I was missing out

 

Dang, how much did you end up dropping on that?

 

Finally changed inner/outer tie rods (moogs) and LBJ oem’s! Now no need squeeze ass driving thinking when the LBJ’s gonna give. 158k oem old parts for trail spares is a plus

 

That's the only way to go..... only a mall crawler who knows nothing would say otherwise cause they've had like tons of mod parties and know everything.


Just giving a banned member a hard time cause I know he's itching for an argument. Sorry conversation.



And seriously OEM lbjs all the way.I went with Moog on my first change, they lasted 20,000 maybe, I'm forgetting at the moment.

 

Yea, Toyota did right by having 555 make the ball joints


Sarcasm people, OEM IS NOT 555

 

Installed new rear shocks, Monroe 37113 and 37114. Got a super deal on Amazon $6 for one, $14 for the other, because the boxes were dented. Way stiffer than the 16 year old OEMs that came off. Brief road test ‘round the hood and over some speed bumps and I can’t tell much of a difference in the ride. Its nice just knowing they are there.
