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

Ahh gotcha

Agreeded. Why I want one 18 lights plus rock lights stereo winch fridge and e blanket are on my list..I want two

 

Well I'm going to have an amp and a few auxiliary lights hooked up eventually.

A winch is doubtful.

I rather go overboard than buy a POS for half the price.

Just have no idea about batteries.

 

You'll be fine with a yellow top then I'm sure

 

Oh mylanta! I've had to calibrate tape measures for ISO process audit shit and most of them are out of tolerance after like a month of use. I can only imagine how bad that thing is. Granted you don't need to measure to a 1/2mm...

 

It'll fit..or you can make it fit haha that site also sells a nice dual battery tray that holds two of those

 

They really aren't much cheaper but look at diehard platinum also. Made by Odyssey. Same thing, different name. I have even heard good things about the other diehard series'.

I'm pretty positive you don't need 900 cca though...

 

Ya ats what I was trying to say earlier haha couldn't remember the name

 

Happy with my yellow top, but then again I don't run a lot of lights.

Hell, Monte's red top fell over into the engine bay and didn't have any problems during the last WY trip.

 

Hahahahahahaha that was crazy!! Should took a pic of that..

It's got a bunny inside it. I'm sure it'll starve of carrots or run out of drum patterns at some point..haha

 

For when you need a replacement...

i am researching lifting my truck 97 tacoma. i was looking at fabtech website and noticed a comment saying tacomas with auto locking hub can not be lifted more than 2inches is this true. and how are the fabtech lifts

 

Do a lot...a LOT more reading. Fab tech is...meh..not great. As 3" is max. Then you kill CVs. Even at 2.5ish or more you will risk tearing CV boots. Do some searching. I'd use google it's much better then e forum search. There is TON of info here for that stuff

 

I think I'm sold on this one:

http://www.sears.com/diehard-platin...p-02850035000P?prdNo=1&blockNo=1&blockType=G1

Deep cycle, plenty of CCAs and a 48 free replacement, 100 month prorated...

 

Good call

 

You can lift more then 2 inches, as blackdog says 2.5 is starting to push it but many people do.

Depends on the fabtechs, i've heard good things about their coilovers, other then that I would stay away from them. Most guys here seem to go with bilsteins. I went with Sway away coilovers, MUCH better then stock.

 

I've got a Sears Die Hard in my truck right now, not that one, but similar. Great battery. Probably the best battery and best warranty I've run. Good choice!

 

Thanks guys.

*cha ching*

 

Does anyone know of a Wildernest or Flip-Pac for a 5 ft bed out there? Or something like it? I'm brewing up some ideas....

 

My yellow top finally failed today. The negative terminal broke inside and would wiggle out whenever I hit bumps. Had to get it boosted three times today so I finally said fuck it and replaced it.
