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

Washed and waxed the ol girl. Really loving these J59s the ride is incredible and I absolutely love the stance.

 

10,000!

 

Wood heat warms you several times. Cutting the trees, and blocking it out, loading, unloading, splitting/stacking, carrying into the house, and finally when you burn it!!

 

That guy is hysterical.

 

Found plugs from a 2020 highlander to cover the holes the useless stickers covered on the rockers.

 

"Found"

 

We remove them to install the factory hitch. I have to find the part number for the other taco

 

Did they reduce wind noise?

 

Not that I know of. They just plug the holes better than the sticker like things Toyota used originally that fall off

 

Changed old shifter bushings! It used to shake like a maraca at highway speeds and annoy me to death. Now it’s quiet and stays in place!

 

Is the ride stiff/harsh without weight in the back?

 

I have J59 with bilstein 5125s and the ride is stiff without some weight for sure, but nothing crazy to make you not want to get them

I’ll get in on this dumb thread because it’s 10,000 pages meow.




I camped with my boy and dag

Hope everyone had a safe 4th of July weekend, stay strong, think of your loved ones and wear a mask.

 

Pretty much like Godzilla619 said. Firm but not rough. Rides the way a truck is suppose to in my opinion. I have 5125s as well. I have a toolbox with maybe 200lbs in the bed.

 

I fill mine the same way.

 

I fill mine from a shrader valve in my bumper and an on board air compressor.
But you can put a manual switch inside or an auto setup with an air compressor.

 

I wished I had a scale nearby to check, all I know it's a lot.

 

Buffed and polished mine this weekend. Paint really pops!
