The 95-97 Taco Thread

Just out of curiosity what kind of tires are you guy running? And size?

 

Cooper stt 32x11.5xr15

 

33/12.5/15 Yokohama geolander ats

 

305/70r16. Procomp x terrains.

 

35/12.50/15 General Grabber Red Label

 

I asked the the what did you do first gen thread but got no answer so I'm coming to my trusted band of 95-97 brethren. Does any one know the cheapest site to order both oxygen sensors for a 2.7L, also if you know the part numbers I have that dumb catalyst below efficiency code and want to get rid of it.

 

I'm not sure, but I think you should go with denso. Try Amazon or rock auto. Don't go to the autoparts store because they'll charge you an arm and a leg.

 

We just got Dave's installed this afternoon and put about 100 miles on them tonight. The ride wasn't that bad at all, and the lift was pretty good. Even with his 35's it had a good stance. Part of the reason some bounce in the rear was felt was due to the fact that he has a minimal cage, and no bed, so the rear end is REALLY light. They installed easy for him as well.

 

I like the ride of them so far. I think it will be even better after I add some weight to the ass end of the truck.

 

lifted and added a roofa rack to my 96 on the weekend.

 

I've owned Toyota's my whole life, but recently purchased a mint 1995 4x4 Extra-cab from my neighbor. Got it for a very good deal too

 

Welcome to the club! No get ready to go broke modding it...lol

 

Grr....sorry if the photos are big. Photobucket has been a real pain lately..I resized them there to be acceptable here so they SHOULDN'T be too big. Hopefully they will show up smaller once I post this.



This was taken this summer.. Shes looking a bit more proper these days
Just started a new job...I can not WAIT to get bigger wheels and tires. Im having a very difficult time figuring out what wheels I actually want to get. Its a really tough decision, and a bit expensive. I came across this site actually looking for photos for ideas. Still haven't quite found it though.
For the last year I have also been looking for some sort of bull bar or front bumper but have not found the right one.
The 95 has my absolute favorite grill in the front, and I almost don't want to cover it up for now. Since I can't decide I have settled on doing nothing yet. The best idea yet is to just custom make one.

One day I was driving and this guy went thru an intersection and his side step flew off his truck and he kept going..I jumped out and ran and grabbed it..It was like a battle. Some other dude was racing me to try to grab it for himself.. I have not put it on though yet. Im always looking at the junk yard for a new set, or for one to match.

They have stock wheels on them right now....however I did paint them to my liking to make them more tolerable for now.



I recently got a camper shell and sanded it down and painted it black. I got it for my dogs mainly... And for camping. I really miss how it looks without it, but for now, Its for practicality. It can be pretty easily taken off so its not a big deal. It will become annoying though the second I wanna load my quad or yamaha in the back.


Here was our first date LOL. Before the wheels were painted.



I still want to get all my windows tinted darker all over, and do something in the front. Can't have them blacked out in the front but there is a legal limit that is dark enough for me. If I ever move back to Nevada, they will be getting tinted BLACK!
It has a cherry bomb on it and sounds really great . I definitely want side steps for sure. The window trim is peeling off..I want to go in with a razor and just take it all off. I like how the chrome color looks. I kind of wanted the whole truck to be like chrome and black sorta...but not too much chrome.

Theres a lot I want to do to my truck, but since my money is tight, and I am being really indecisive...its best to just wait for now.

 

^ looks good dude

 

Your truvk is almost exactly whqt I want to do to mine. Looks good

 

Thanks! Still needs alot more done..
Wish I could get new wheels and tires first but it will take lots of saving. In the mean time I can lurk here for ideas.

 

U got a dent in same place as me

 

I got dents all over the place on the damn truck, it's like someone wanted to get better fuel mileage by making it like a golf ball. I bought the truck from some guy in the city but there's definite evidence that someone took into the sticks and beat on it.

 

Well I got pissed off at my truck when I was having fuel issues and punched it

 

Installed my 5100s w/ Toytech springs. Front is 39" from ground to top arch of fender. Rear is 38". Would adding the Wheeler's 1.5" AAL make to rear too high you think?
