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

Rotated tires and installed wheel locks

 

That 2.7L sounds pretty good.

 

exhaust sounds good!!! got plenty people going magnaflow after that thread I made!! mines going on next week!!

I went with 11246

 

Just got tint done this morning

 

45acp what magnaflow is that?

 

Mike, which model Maganaflow did you go with? Do you have a recording? I will need a replacement soon, and want to hear a 3.4.

Which thread?!?!? Hep me.

 

Got my Toytec 1" shackles installed and do not have any more case of bro lean! Now have 3/4" of rake in the front and the shackles miraculously ended up giving more like 1.75" of lift. Almost had second thoughts after buying them that maybe I should have gotten longer ones, so I'm sure glad that I didn't, lol, but it will most likely settle overtime a little though.

Here's the measurements:

Before:
40 1/4" in the front
39 1/4" in the rear

Now:
40 1/4" in the front
41" even in the rear

 

broke it. lower ball joint came off of spindle, so it dropped. streched break lines and tore cv boots.

so new half shaft, brake lines, and better hardware, and loctite!

 

Man!! This is like the second one to happen this week! Sorry to see that.

Seeing this scares me to drive my truck now.

 

confirm everything tight, problem solved.

there is no vids of a magnaflow w/3.4l but with all the positive comments from digtrus and his palls, I went for it. What I found out through reading the threads is the 4"x9" and 5"x8" body will be similar just different sizes for applications. The length determines the sound, the 18" muffler will produce a low sound close to stock but when stepped on you can hear it, the 14" is louder overall. The longer the muffler the more quiter, you'll still get the deep noise tho. I got mines going on this week!

 

Fixed

 

lol

 

washed and nice coat of turtle wax interior shining to be done tomorrow

 

the guy at the alignment shop said my ball joints are starting to go bad and i said eff it now im thinking about replacing them

 

well, the ball joint assembly itself, make sure you torque and loctite the shit out of em.

 

installed new tires, 285 75 16 dunlop fierce attitude mt. they are awesome, amazing tire. i also spray on bedliner my fender flares, front grill, and front and rear bumper. i also removed my lower part of front bumper and installed some smoked out motorcycle turn signals. i also installed my brake proportioning valve bracket. also purchased the jba catback exhaust , sounds good fit perfect and picked it up from autoanything for under 300 bucks.


motorcycle signals not installed yet in this pic.

 

^ Awesome truck dude!

You got any more open shots of the truck that show the whole thing better?

 

x2 tires look good. I been seeing them around town allot.

 

Could have been worse...

Also, the cause of mine was a tie rod breaking. Which I got replaced about 6 months ago. And as of one month ago everything was in good condition...
