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

Yeah this is how much room I had

So that is the bolt where the light is and the back of the lights are flush with the radiator. If they were thicker, the lights would be facing up more and the grille wouldnt fit!

This picture is just because I'm excited how it turned out haha

 

Just got my diehard platinum battery replaced. Only a year old, but hey that's what the warranty is there for.

 

I just bought this battery not too long ago.

For the warranty mostly.

 

got this today, mickey thompson mtz 35/12.5/15

 

When are these going on?

 

as soon as i put the 4.88 in the truck

 

Why did you get those?

 

Simple, because 35s are badass and they look awesome on 3" of lift haha... My next set are going to be 35s too guarenteed

 

Not the size. The tire.

Those aren't great tires. They have a super soft compound and don't last long and tear the blocks easy.

So I was curious as to why he got them

 

speaking of tires... just got these bad boys mounted!






got a killer deal from another NM member $400 for 5 tires and they have about 90-95% tread still on them

 

Thats a crazy deal! I'm not liking having mud terrains at all, my bfg all terrains went anywhere I pointed them and were grippy as hell. I got sideways today on the road because I hit frost...can't wait for new tires.

 

Those look sweet with the black 4runner rims!

 

yea the only thing im worried about is the on-road performance but oh well.

off-road>>on-road for me right now

thanks man!

 

I'm going to guess that there's no more than 10k miles on 'em. Someone forgot to write the odometer mileage down on the paperwork at the time of purchase.

 

Oh alright, I didnt know thats what you meant. My bad

 

I'm mostly interested in the rails at the moment. Didn't think you wanted to part with yours. I like the roof rack as well and will more than likely get you to build me one in the future. Lift, sliders, 7th injector, and tires will come first though.

 

Ya true, fwiw my buddy has the km2's on his tacoma and loves them for both on/off road

 

Technical question.

Was inspecting under the truck tonight and was feeling all the front end parts for any issues. Came across the drivers tierod. So when I wiggle my wheel left and right, it has 1/4" play in the tierod boot area. Wiggled the passenger and very little movement.

Is this an inner or outer tierod issue?

 

Sounds like an inner maybe??

 

I would say inner but sometimes the shaft the inner joint is connected to moves. So your rack may be bad. Best way to find out is to take off the boot and see if the ball joint moves or if the shaft that goes into the moves. if shaft moves, rack is bad. My brother just replaced all tie rods, just to find out it was his rack that was bad.
