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

Good. I say take off the drums and take a peek at the shoes and other brake components and see if anything is amiss on the right side... you might just have to tighten the right side up a bit with that adjuster wheel between the shoes.

Vewy intewesting. Thinking about the way torque transfers from the pinion to the ring to the carrier to the side gears, I don't see how that's possible.... at all.

 

hmm alright thanks

 

Took the camper off. Thinking about building a bed rack now!! How does it look without the camper on.

 

Nice find.

 

I like it w/o.

 

looks sweet. I've always been a fan of no topper

 

Thanks man. The only reason I still working it is bc I've put a lot of work into it. I color matched it and put lights inside and now the roof rack.

 

It looks great with it too. I love the color of your truck

EDIT: which rear bumper is that? I dig it

 

So i was just talking to my friend and he says its not on flat ground where the right is more active, its when the axle is put on rough terrain where you really feel the open diffs.

So if your left is stuffed, the right will spin but your left wont. But if your right is stuffed, it will spin more than the left would normally. If that makes sense Maybe thats just the way its engineered

I will have to test this out sometime

 

Thanks man. I love radiant red.

All of my bumpers and sliders are Trail Gear

 

I recognized the front bumper from when I was building mine. Im trying to decide if I want to build my own rear bumper too or just buy one..

 

Either way you can't go wrong! TG bumpers are cheap!

 

Ya know... Now that I think of it. I can always light up my right rear tire easier than my leaft rear, as well. (5.29s suka ) But I always blamed this on the left rear tire having to support more weight than the right rear and therefore having more traction (resistance). If I mash the gas pedal with the wheel straight, my right rear tire will light up. Same goes for when I cock the wheel right and mash it.. infact it'll light up even easier since I'm transfering even more weight to the left rear tire. The left tire takes more effort to light up, but I've done it from a standstill with a hard left turn. (and loooots of body roll ) lol

I think this explains why someone would say the right tire spins harder than the left. I may be wrong... but from what I understand about differentials, how weight affects traction, and my general observations, I think this is the case..........

 

Well that's the dilemma! The bumpers are cheap but I can build one for next to nothing..

 

Interesting. I have never seen that before. I'm always locked in situations like that....

I'm interested in trying that out as well!

I'm still thinking that would have to do with brakes, or maybe (since it's on the left side) a slightly engaged e-brake...

 

Well when!! If I was you I'd build one

 

Helped Alex(buzzard1992) install the Blitzpro 21s stock bumper..
