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

Yup, im starting to think the 01-04s are harder to install a front lift. My install was just like yours, didnt have to remove anything to do with uca or lca

 

I didn't remove anything to install mine either..

 

What have i done to my Tacoma today...huh...let's see, trying to fix driveline vib. I've changed my carrier bearing. had to take on and off 3X due to another guys Fup $150. that didn't work. take to Toyota, they come back with guess of bent rear driveshaft, ($3,000 please). take shaft to driveline specialist, change all u joints and balance $370. vib. is now jus reduced and not sure where to go from here? can't find topics close enough to my problem to get help from. can't find chat rooms that would do me any good (unless there's one on TW i haven't found) and have now turned that energy into bitching and moaning to my computer.
I know this isn't the right thread for this but this one seems to get faster replies than more specific threads. anybody more familiar with TW that could point me in some kinda direction or other sites or had very similar problems? Thanx!

 

Not to be rude but that's on a second gen and I run a first gen. I get what he said about dirt and honestly everyone I talked to about k and n have complained about the mass air flow sensor because oil. After asking they said they didn't let the oil dry before installing...... My .02

 

It's a FACT that k&n air filters let in much more dirt than a conventional paper filter. Just hold yours up to the light...look how many HOLES are in the gauze.

 

I finally got the guts to put holes in my roof.

 

X2 I just put a bottle jack on top of the uca

 

Outerwears are a must on any after market air filter if you're doing any sort of dirt sports.

 

Well it didn't work for me and that's all there is to it, like I've said before my upper ball joint would hit the Eibach coil not allowing me to install it. This is why I had to separate the upper ball joint from the uca.

If the bottle jack method would've worked that would be awesome and it would be together instead of me having to find somebody to pay to install it.

 

Lone 1st Gen Rep @ the Columbia, SC meet today.

 

Working on a design. Feedback?

I like it, maybe even cut out some circles for some LED flat bed lights.

 

I think the only lights I'm doing are reverse leds. Not sure if I want them that big so I might find some others to buy, or round instead of oval. And a little led license plate light.
