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

I think TC first gen LCA is a direct replacement with a fancier look but no added benefit. Solo is the only company IIRC that moves it 1” forward.

Heim joints and uniball are great, depending on where you live. They’re horrible and fail rather quick vs OEM during winter with salted road way. They’re unprotected and exposed to the elements.

 

Eh. Gen 1-3 all look good in different ways to me. Gen IV looks stretched top-to-bottom, though.

Anyhow, plugged the headlight back in, now truck is truly back in action. Now I just need to solve sleep + tires, so hoping for good Labor Day sales.

 

BTF Fabrication makes some really nice high clearance ones that push the ball joint forward an inch as well.

Excellent info. Thank you both.

 

Glad I got rid of my LCA years ago lol.

 

I like mine!

 

You are right, the initial design of the TC LCA had no added caster, and is a stock replacement; shitty design if you ask me. Not sure if TC revised it, therefore I asked.

No salt concerns for me unless I accidentally dump my truck in the ocean as I’m in Hawaii.
