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

I need to replace mine. They are fucked. I just spray wd40 and it shuts them up for now. Once they touch water the squeaks come back

 

once they stop squeaking, you're fucked, getting replaced immediately.

 

It's an easy job, I'd replace them before they end up like @JKO1998 's did and take out the lower eyelets on your coilovers

 

I'm only interested in those Boxers. I lost my Boxer last Spring. Definitely want another one.

 

It’s actually father and son. We got the fawn one 3.5 years ago. Then our friend had a female so we used her and instead of money I wanted another one so I got pick of the litter. The pup will be 2 this summer

 

Supercharger has constant boost and turbo has to build boost. SC=smoother powerband

 

sorry but SC do not have constant boost.

They build just like anything just off of rpm vs exhaust pressure.

our roots sc is also horribly efficient.


The only thing the SC has over a turbo is simplicity/reliability.

Otherwise, a turbo wins hands down every time. This isn't 1994 anymore. Turbo's have come a LONG ways. Build boost faster then ever and smoother than ever. There's a reason why literally all car manufacture's are using turbos in everything and not blowers.



As for which is best for crawling. Neither. Crawling is about gearing. YOu don't need HP for that you need gears. If you're using HP during crawling your rpms are going to be high as hell anyways due to...the gears! so a turbo wins out here as well.

 

Next question! What’s the best option for a dual case setup for our trucks? TacoBox from marlin? Trail gear adapter plates?

 

Rip

 

TG seems to be the go-to. Marlin is a joke as far as lead times on theirs.

 

I’ve heard that. I like that for 2200 you have a kit that’s ready to bolt in from TG minus drive shafts

 

Yea pretty much.
Unfortunately for me I also have to source a v6 T-case for that kit to work since the output splines are different between the 4cyl and 6cyl cases.

It would also be good to add another cross member or some sort of extra support for the additional case. The torque really takes a toll on that factory transmission mount.

 

Not yet, but I did use your hood. It was in way better shape than mine was.

 

Depends on how quick ya want to be up and running ha. I'd rather have a Marlin but shit you may never get it. So whenever I plan to get one it'll more than likely be TG

 

Yeah I’m hoping within the year I should be ready to drop the cash. Depending on how the world goes over the next few months. I’m leaning toward TG

 

So..with all this time at the casa, I've found some interesting corners of the Ebay world, (dangerous corners...)
Ended up buying what I thought would be 'the perfect' rooftop case for the 'ovahlahndig' I would rather be doing...

and, of course, had to check the List of Craig as well!


And WaaaLaa!

Came complete with pressure release/fart valve. So, my theme is Green on Black I guess..

 

No, 4x Innovations only goes to the crossmember.

 

Why why why??? Can i further damage?

Glad i didnt sell my rats then. That sucks

 

Not too bad... I think I'll end up with a pretty nice set of skids, when It's all said and done.

Only think that irks me is the holes on the 4x Innovations IFS skid don't line up quite right and it's kind of a pain in the ass to take it off and put it on.
