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

woo - easy there! good job on the wash and earning enough to afford 2 trucks...

 

Getting ready to remove the Elite bumper to upgrade to the new Smittybilt X20 10,000lb winch. Gonna use the opportunity to install my new Camburg UCAs, change the front diff oil and and replace the lower ball joints. Also trying to track down the source of the seeping fluid from my T-case. All those jobs will be much simpler with the skids off.

 

Went out and played.

 

woah! How did the OME handle that??

 

from the right angle it looks like you jumped onto those buggies...nice air!


after washing I took a video of the exhaust...

Haha, time for LT maybe!?

 

I'm running 15x10 3.75bs with Bushwacker Cut out flares and works well...

 

That looks really nice I been wanting to do that myself

 

Aren't you supposed to weld those 3 holes in the plate? Maybe you did, I can't tell.

 

thats kinda what i was thinkin haha.

 

Installed camper shell!

 

Had the tires balanced and front end alignment adjusted.

 

That looks amazing bro

 

wash and wax

 

Got my window busted in at a party last night

 

There is definetly more to this story.

 

Installed a Firestone airbag kit. I have a Leer cap installed and with only my tools in the back, I had 1" of suspension travel. I also need to haul a transmission next weekend, so I figured that I should stop putting it off.



First impressions are good. It rides a hell of a lot better, there's no more suspension sag, and I have that adjustability I need. I did note that the dampening is not up to par, so I want to swap out the Rancho shocks to something a bit more "stiff." I'm contemplating Billsteins in the rear, but I need to do some research. I also want to look into adding a rear antisway.

You wouldn't know it by looking at it, but there's actually an engine sitting in the back of the truck:



Also added recently is an ebay intake with a SPT/K&N filter. I'm going to swap in a new K&N in a few months when I do the 300,000 mile service.



I should probably pick up some plastic sheeting to block off the filter from the rest of the engine bay.

 

Added some Hella Micro fogs, they are amazing.

Took some pics with them and the headlights and some with all 6 lights, including my hella black magics.

 

Well obviously OME suspension isn't designed for jumping but it handled it just fine. I wouldn't do this all the time but it was fun.
