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

I see that you have the fox 2.5's with the DSC resi's. Got any more pics of how you have them mounted?
Any rubbing on them at full flex/stuff? I had to get creative with the mounting of mine because the factory hose length was too long

 

Haha I was trying to avoid showing them. I need to get new hoses (these are waaay too long but I don't want to spend another 300 just yet) and maybe relocate the resi. I've just rebuilt them and back on so not 100% on how they will fly in their current state. Previous shocks were ads.

 

There's a flippac for a 6' bed for sale here in CO for like $1,800. Looked pretty solid.

Is it just that pic or is your driver side coilbucket about to explode?

 

Help me help you

 

I was hoping that would work when I did it but about 6 months later it was puking oil again. Must've gotten damaged when the axle pushed it in or maybe it went in unevenly, IDK.

We'll see if I can get it to actually go in with the cheap seal driver kit I got for next time, if not I'll do the axle method again and hope for the best.

 

no chance that the breather is plugged is it?

 

I'll give it a check just in case, hadn't thought of that thanks!

 

It was closed off last weekend when I was there. The bridge was pretty cool.

 

Spent a bit of time verifying that all of the wiring going back to my elocker was in good order. Basically just confirming that the locker was toast, as I had suspected from the corrosion around the mating surfaces between the main housing and the cover. Didn't bother to pull it, just get out the credit card and get a new one ordered.

 

Is that the 56” box? I just recently picked one up as well. That sucker is HEAVY!!

 

Yup 56in series 2. I grabbed a couple of 6ft ramps while at HF for the unload. It's a beast even without a top box. I unfortunately forgot to remove the rubber mat on top before hitting the road so now I'm looking for a replacement.

 

Try freezing it, but be careful, it makes it much easier to push in too far.

This. But also verify it's not coming from the breather.

 

haha spindle gussets auto clearing. need to get a gusset up top.

 

Washed the truck yesterday and replaced the chrome grill with a black grill,
Then passed the 666,666 mile marker and forgot to take a photo of mileage, grrr

 

Those URD pulleys are CRAP,

 

Ok, I have 3 of them you can have for free

 

Today is truck day!
Warming up with the easy stuff, oil and filter change and greasing the drive shaft.

Then it will be onto suspension work, planning to do front shocks and struts as well as upper and lower ball joints. We shall see how far I can get today.

For those of you who don’t have a nice garage to work in, feel lucky that you have a driveway. If you don’t have a driveway, count yourself lucky if you have a parking lot or street. For me, it’s all happening in the grass and dirt. Yay!

 

Greased all of the fittings in the driveshaft done the truck sat for over a year before I got my hands on it. Every single fitting was almost empty

 

cool grass is better than hot concrete

 

it’s always shade under the truck
