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

I think the description just makes it sounds confusing. It is for heavier applications like the 882s, but only the 882s are recommended for nothing less than those extra heavy (150+ lb) loads. Doesn't help that the number designation is backasswards.

 

yea never got wtf that was about..well okay then. Got that all clarified ha

 

Seafoamed, and cleaned the MAF today.

Cleaning throttle body, changing oil, changing plugs, and changing Fuel filter tomorrow.

 

Painted with undercoating!

 

Is there a write up somewhere around here on how to replace the cv's/boots?

 

Found it http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/technical-chat/21192-how-change-cv-axle-01-04-add-tacoma.html

 

Here's a spec sheet on all the OME coil springs

http://www.cruiseroutfitters.com/tech_OME_coils.html

882's and 881's have the same spring rate. 883's have a higher spring rate. 883's and 881's have the same free height. 882's are the tallest coil.

 

Thanks man, great chart!

 

After having my arb bumper on my truck i was looking at the bolts that arb used. I noticed (wasnt thinking about it when i install the damn thing was the 6 small bolts hat holds the bumper up. I did some research and found a stronger way to handle the loads better not with some cheap china made bolts that looked like it was made for making some tv stand.

Used grade 8 bolts shanked try to pull it apart now.

 

I've been saying for a long time that Kurt at Cruiser Outfitters knows more about the ARB/OME products that anyone outside of ARB. He's got great prices too. He runs ARB/OME stuff on his personal Tacoma and has also tried just about every other suspension setup out there. Says a lot to me that after trying so many options that he came back to OME stuff.

 

You can get there from the one I posted with the OME chart. or use this.....

Did some work on the truck today, 1.25" wheel spacers, removed mud flaps and installed 1" block spacer from toytech in the back to level out the truck. I didnt want to lower the front any more. sorry for the phone pics.

 

just got mine back and its still not fixed... i waited a week and a half to find out the guy couldnt get to it until the end of december now i have to search for someone else to fix it

 

rear main seal just suddenly went out in it... just wished I couldve gotten it fixed before I went on Thanksgiving break

 

That it does

 

not sure how much lift i got cuz i never measured before the lift, i have a 4cyl and the front coils are for a 6 cyl so i lowered the front untill the cv angles looked ok, the back started to sag when i put the cap on with the storige system that i made for the bed. so i added a spacer. if someone have stock masurements from fender to center of the wheel please post it so i can find out how much lift i have. thanks

 

Yes I do

 

Got a case of oil filters for the Taco....they also work for my Tundra

 

Relocated my Bluesea fuse box. I also cleaned up some wiring. I still have more to go..

 

Tires rotated, engine seafoamed, oil changed, new cvs, body repaired and painted, and mouse succesfully chased out of air intake.
