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

Wonder how that will handle the wind in a storm I like it, if the tent is rocking don't come knocking. Whats the actual inside measurements?

 

Yup the front hood and fenders are only primered...

 

Stock air filter/airbox, right? What actual filter are you using? Paper OEM type, or an AFE or K&N drop-in? Is it seating correctly and completely, and is the foam seal at the top of the airbox door still intact? It is hard to tell from the pic, but it looks like it might be getting under/around the filter. Depending on filter fit, etc., you could get some very thin rubber or foam rubber weatherstrip to seal up the contact area where the hard plastic edge of the filter contacts the airbox.

 

I wouldn't care to be in it if it was super windy. As for measurements I didn't check when I had it open but, it's got to be close to 8ft tall in the center and "bed" portion that folds over is almost as wide as the actual truck bed is.

 

Loaded up my new toy.

 

Those Wildernests are sweet. I thought they stopped manufacturing them awhile ago?

And yeah, not the greatest in the wind... I've spent many nights in one.

 

I know I need to wash the Taco.but.cannot.get.the.motivation.

 

installed my lift yesterday!! Wheeler's 5 pack, 1" shackles and 5100s in the rear. OME 881s and Nitrocharger Sports w/ 10mm spacer up front



The ride is night and day from the worn out stock suspension, but its sitting kinda nose high. I'm gonna need to add a small block or larger shackle in the rear OR remove the spacer up front.

Thoughts?

 

General Grabber AT2's installed yesterday. It's coming together.

 

Shouldn't you give it a week or so to see if it settles a bit? Don't know, but thought I read that somewhere.

 

What size tires are those?

 

Looks good, do you notice any "swaying" at Interstate speeds with it being up higher? Just curious, I have a similar truck minus the lift...

 

When I put my mid travel kit on it handled way better on and off road. Stiffened it up a bit no sway at all. It was the icons w/burg ucas, a lil different.

The front will settle a tad, but so will the back. I would take spacers out. A lil less angle on ball joints and your cvs.

 

You will be fine with 881's and the 10mm spacer. People run the 882's with a spacer even. I'm running the same setup as you but with all pro standard leafs.


Here's the stance with a 1.5" aal

 

The shell adds weight to rear though, so the rear will settle a touch more I'm sure.

 

Some dam good looking double cabs!!!!


to all 1st gen dbl cabs

 

got the coils used from jdmcq so I think they are broken in already

cooper discover atr 265/75/16

havn't gone over 50 yet, but everything feels much tighter, smoother, and.. safer really. Truck used to get squirelly on bumps and even jump side to side at higher speed, constantly hitting the bump stops, etc

 

True, never thought about the camper. Should have got all pro leafs or dakars instead of expensive wheelers 1.5" leafs

 

Amen brotha.

 

well, I did'nt plan on the front sitting as high as it does. Thought the back would be at around 2.5" and the front 2.25"-2.5" but, que sera sera.

I think it will be easier to raise the back a tad than remove the front, disassemble, reassemble, reinstall..

maybe I'l add a leaf from the old pack? idk yet, I'l give it a couple weeks
