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

I had a friend build it for me. I can take some more photos if you want, but I won’t be able to until tomorrow.

 

If you find time, that'd be great. I'm mostly interested in the structure of it (and how well it works). I have a similar design in mind for mine, and I'm not really finding any inspiration from google.
Don't worry too much, though.

 

Thanks, have some improvement ideas, but first things first - get it the rest of the way working.

 

Thanks, thinking I'll have to do something similar.

 

Contacted @Empty_Lord earlier today and told him my power steering pump sounded like a pit bull chasing a mailman. He told me to clean the screen in the reservoir or he would send Tacoma Protective Services to place my trucks into foster care.

Got it done and quieted down nicely.

 

$30 service fee for using the direct line!

 

A lil yeehaw. Big halfway point here.

 

More info for the TC lower uniball. Love that he touches on the OEM liner deteriorating. I believe this is why Moog last longer for me. Looks like a well thought out product and another factory length LCA option coming. Still doesn't solve the problem of the ball coming out of socket with wear though.

Was just about post this.
Also good info on how they "corrected" the geometry for lifted applications.

Not to mention the statement of them eventually coming out with a stock length lca for the 1st gens.

link is dead?

 

It's not dead, it just didn't embed well.. probably because it's a reel instead of a regular post?

I used my hacker skills to get it out...

I think I need a set.

 

Yeah even with my salt exposure I really am liking these.

Redoing all my accessories wiring. And there is a shit ton. FML

 

Yeah that thing is pretty sweet. And most stock lowers! They look beefy. Wonder how they will compare to the Solo ones.

 

I'm curious. Does anyone have the Solo LBJs (that we know of here) to compare to?

 

I have only seen 1 or 2 folks with them with the XLT kit and they aren't very active if active at all anymore on here. Im sure there are others.

Ray got some of those retro fit ones for his. Not sure how they have held up.

 

Wondering what everyone did for central ground and power locations for all their accessories. Or how they routed everything. Thinking about using the glove box but not sure yet. When I started my build 7 years ago added things one by one and now I need to redo to make it better. Things change over time.

Hoping some people can share what they did as I have a crap ton of gauges and accessories. Any help or advice would be appreciated thx

 

I was kind of thinking that was the case. I was hoping to get some feed back on them. If all goes well, I'm hoping to be running them by the end of this winter. We'll see how that plays out.
