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

Thank you sir!!!! I assume since you are a Cyclone your a wrestling fan??? One of my best friends Nate Gallick was a National Champ there and a multiple All-American...

Interesting, I didn't know this company existed. They do have some very nice rims though!

I don't follow wrestling too closely here but I know they do pretty well in the Big 12 every year.

 

yes the quality seems very good they are heavy but nothing to crazy!

 

As for the stance goes I think it may be the 17" rims with the 285's. I can't come up with any other reasons. I do agree that it looks really tall.

The topper helps with the ride a ton I would bet. I also have the factory installed "Air Lift" bag suspension also. Maybe that could be the reason for the height.

 

Did you have that made out of aluminum?!? WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?!?!?

 

How much lift did each of you get? I've got the same camper shell as you taco47001 and tow just about every weekend with gear for hunting in the fall. Heard the Expos might be too much for me still.

 

I think I'm right at 3" still. I have a bit of rake as it seems my front end is finally settling down (my CV joints were so pissed at life), so it may be a tad over 3". I havn't measured it in a while but I have all the #'s on the home computer. The expo's are deff. meant to be worked. Those require some hefty weight at all times if I'm not mistaken. You should look into the "Air Lift" system. Super easy install, decent price and seems better suited to your application. They will level you out when you load down in the fall and give you that little extra height when you hook up your trailer.

 

woot no more rattling a/c idler pulley. Thank you baby Jesus.

 

Allpro confirmed my apex bumper and skids have shipped!!!

 

Wtf I am so jelly I want tht bumper soooooooo bad. Ugh luckyy

 

Yea it's solid aluminum. Pm'd

Here's a pic just placed into the truck. Needs a few more adjustments and it'll be ready for good!



It's slightly too tall but I'm goig to cut new panels soon that will fit a scoshe install kit perfectly for the 95-04 tacomas

 

Your head unit is upside down

 

Lol..

 

i slightly did the same thing.. kinda

 

I'm not trying to mock 01Tacoma, he's a good guy and clearly does some nice work.

And I remember him saying, earlier in the thread, that his cubby was on top and head unit on bottom.... I'm sure he's well aware it's upside down

 

Lol I figured I'd catch hell about that... Got a little in a hurry trying to put it for measurements but I got it flipped around! Had to move the panel to under the radio cause of the red switch hitting the radio bezel up top

 

01Tac0ma, what CB is that?

 

The midland 1001z

 

I just drove 5 miles in my taco..... Talk about intense.
