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

Nice! I've got pretty much the exact set-up! (minus the flip kit/shock mounts, and cb drop [which is coming soon]) Why don't you like the shock mounts? And I know exactly what you mean about bigger tires................. and no money..................................................

Any pics????

 

Well I wanted to retain my upper shock mounts and spare tire so the lower mounts are angled downward to fit the 10" shocks and probably negate the u-bolt flip kit although I haven't measured yet. I really do love these leafs though. I was really scared they would be really high but the rake is perfect with 3" up front. I think I might take off the sway bar this weekend too if I can get some alone time with the truck. Rims/tires are a bitch to figure out what I want to go with and what's the least expensive route

 

Finally got around to working on my hood. Took the scoops off the hood. How's it look?

 

Normal?

 

haha I thought the same, but compared to how it was... much much better!

 

I had alot of guys telling it looked cheap. So normal is good with me

Like it should be!!

I knw. I bluffed to hood after I took them off. I'm very happy with it now.

 

Finished installing my OME kit...

Later tonight will be installing Bushwacker cutout flares.

 

:

 

just bought some new 5125's from a member should be here by wed.

 

Click on my link to the build. You will find several pics there..

 

Changed the 7I0 fluid & filter (OIL upside down )
Removed the 2 week old 881 springs and installed 882 springs on the newish OME shocks. Gained 1.5-2" lift - woot! (FWIW - the 881 springs are for sale and have about 500 miles on them.)
Rotated the tires and did minor welding.

For sale (in sales section too) for $120 + $25 shipping in the lower 48USA

 

What would you think about the 882's with no bumper?
still reasonable?

 

how much for the 881 shipped to 71203 zip

 

What do your fenders measure? I just put the OME kit on and now my front is sitting at 37 1/2" and the back is sitting at 39". I ordered the 882's and ended up with the 881's. I'm thinking of calling and reordering the 882's. Not sure if they will exchange them or not at this point. We'll see or I will be selling a new set of 881's.

 

Finally got my trail-gear rear bumper installed! I gotta get back to WY and herculine it now.

 

$120 + $25 shipping

I take Paypal or check.

 

I think you'd end up with a pre-runner look and a harsh ride.
881's without the 150lbs bumper, winch & cable should be fine.
But hey, what do I know?

 

I measured from the center of the hub to the OEM fender flare bottom for 23"+/- front and back.
They have only been on for about 30 miles though and may settle in 1/2" or so.
