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

i think mine ended up being 4 coats of vht and 3 coats of clear

 

Wheels from my cousin's '98 4x4 (15's) to replace my factory 16's and new Goodyear wrangler authority from walmart - $148 each SUCKAS!!

 

That is a sweet tire/rim combo! An you can't go wrong with that price price for tires!

 

Bought a bigger Tacoma to replace my 1997. So today I put it up for sale. I am really gonna miss it, been a great little truck. By far the best vehicle I have ever owned.

Got new Pacers with 32" BFGs and Bilstein 5100 shocks giving 2.5 in lift on the front with 1.5" wheel spacers

 

So I'm thinking about some new wheels tires, but I don't have enough information about fitment just yet. I have an '03 dbl cab 4x4 and I'm looking for new tires. It just so happens that I know a guy getting rid of a set of 2006 17" 4runner wheels with some 265/70R17 BFGs on them. Anybody know anything about the back spacing on these and whether I will have rubbing issues with the wheel well or worse, the UCAs? Here are the wheels/tires

 

Alright. Here is light output during the day. This is just the lights on when you turn on the head lights, the brake lights are even brighter when you actually push on the brake. So I don't think they are too dark.

 

I know you have to run wheel spacers with those rims. A member on expo runs them actually

 

So my Tacoma won't be getting driven again until probably Saturday... Haha Wisdom teeth were cut out and now I'm taking narcotics to keep the pain down.

 

Looks good man!

 

Makes me miss my old 96... Haha

 

Goodies for sale.

Also I have a 38lbs Flywheel for a 5VZ 3.4 V6 all years. $200

Hella Lights for sale.

Man I can't wait to paint my wheels

 

Yesterday -

Front Suspension Replaced:
Replaced both upper lower control arms and hardware (bolts nuts cams, bump stops) with new OEM Toyota parts
Replaced coils and upper strut mounts w Moog, and Struts w Bilstien 5100s, stock setting.
Replaced upper lower ball joints w Moog
Replaced inner outer tie rods w Moog

Rear Suspension Replaced:
Replaced rear shackles and front eye bolt with OEM Toyota parts
Replaced rear leafs with Triangle leafs from Deaver suspension
Replaced rear shocks with Bilstien 5125s
Replaced u bolts with Wheelers versions (OEM u bolts are ridiculous expensive) and Rear bump stop from OEM Toyota

Plus an alignment to go with all that.
I thought it was more work than I originally anticipated. Took 5.5 hours for all of that.

Only casualty was a lost wheel cap.

Rides like new, probably better.

Now to unload all the old suspension at the nearest specialty tacoma recycle yard.

 

Wow, that's a lot of work! But I bet the suspension and steering is smooth!

 

So I may be getting new tires tomorrow....

All I have to do is hope Walmart or Check-Into-Cash will cash the $1,000 check I have. Sucks having a local bank now that I'm 500 miles away! Haha This also means I won't take my pain meds tomorrow so I can drive....
