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

Bigger you say...

Don't make the mistake I did. 37s or bust

 

Lol I'm a good ways down the road from that.
37's seem like a bit much for our steering rack and IFS...
I think I would be plenty capable with 35's locked, geared, & dual cased.

Not really any tire options in that size iirc. and i'm not about to run some interco super swampers lol

 

Beef up the bed crossmembers if you plan on carrying much weight in it. Hopefully the kit you got didn't come with the tiny 1" spacers that have too small of a surface area to support much.

 

Just finished a heavy mod day:

 

Who's gonna buys a S to stick over the F at the first get together? Hahaha

 

I still like the one I have in my land cruiser

 

Yes the Daystar kit just has little Spacers That aren’t even as wide as a washer.. was thinking maybe some 1x4 tube instead

 

That would be much better, extend it a bit inward from the frame mount too, that'll help with the rigidity

 

This past weekend I changed out the fan bracket pulley and Fan clutch as I've been hearing a racket noise like a bearing going bad. I've read that it could be the wp but I just did the TB kit (full OEM/AISIN) 9k miles ago in March. I'm still hearing the noise

What are the chances that it is the wp?

 

HF has torx bits for impact drivers. If you don't have one of these impacts, I highly recommend one. For $20.00, they are a really handy tool in the arsenal.

 

Yeppers. Looks like it'll be a 3-way race with @Digiratus to see who can drag out installation the longest. I'm not installing mine until at least late October.

 

Just about anything is better than those. I had one punch clear though the bed crossmember.

 

good mother of god that’s the best sticker ever and I want it...

 

Packed ready to bounce


Made it to our 1st stop = Barstow.
Nothing special about the trip so far. Just basically drove through the butt crack of California.

Tomorrow should be much better scenery. Once we get past Vegas.

 

Meh... it washes off easy enough

 

From this to this !

 

I’m more worried about a sharpie I think lol

 

Dry erase pen be perfect tho

 

Gotta replace the tailgate handle, it finally broke.
