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

That's the cheapest good option you'll find

 

Bad apparently..lol

 

Man, 4 qheel parts website is trash... The descriptions are barely there. Ill just call them tomorrow. Thanks for the info guys/gals? Appreciate yall.

 

I run expos unloaded all the the time except when froading. They are not as bad as people say when the bed is empty...its a truck. Rake os not bad either


Unloaded * on 33s

 

I'm pretty sure 4WP only sells Dakar leaf packs for our trucks.

Keep in mind with your budget you'll need bushings, new U bolts and you really should get an extended rear brake line too when you lift the rear. A BPV relocation bracket is also recommended.

Not to mention longer rear shocks

 

Been awhile but I think I remember there being 2 versions of the 5100s for the rear, one version being longer than the other? My first setup was Dakars springs with 5100s in the rear and it was fine.

 

I think mine are too far gone for an AAL. Did you see the pics I posted of them?

 

I'm not sure. I got the 0-3" kit.

 

Should be good then as far as the shocks go

 

Just be glad it isn't this...

 

Yeahhh those are gone lol. Looks like the passenger side is frowning worse than the driver side which is interesting. Usually the driver's side with the gas tank there is worse

 

Weirdly both of my Tacos that snapped a rear spring were on the passenger side.

 

Mine too.

I swear there is something off on the passenger side.

 

2nd gens its always the driver side.


and they like to puncture the gas tanks

 

The pictures are from the driver side...the passenger side is lower though.

 

Mine have been like this since 120k miles.. a spring pack shouldn't be worn out in only 120k miles. Truck has 164k right now.

 

And now I have a strange out-of-balance/wah wah noise coming out from under the truck that wasn't there before. About 240 bpm ..lol 4 wah-s a second at 55mph. I can not determine whether its coming from the front or the back,but definitely driver side. Rear end was a little warm after I got home last night and I smelled a brake caliper/clutchy/hot grease type of smell but nothing was super hot. I felt all my brakes and hubs. It was about a 25 minute ride from where I got the tires. Another scooby doo mystery I guess. I wish clear and decisive stuff would tear up on my trucks...not something I have to call Sam and Dean Winchester for...

 

Clear and decisive usually means something has gone terribly wrong, and further equals big bucks!! Just my experience!
