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

Got new 33x12.50x15 KM2's installed! Love them so far! More pics coming soon...

 

your not on your stock rims are you? hope not..

 

Nope!

 

good haha

you have a LOT of trimming to do haha

 

Haha I'll find out next weekend when I plan on going to an off road park... My mud flaps will probably get ripped off...

Trimmed very little of the valence, and it only rubs the front mud flaps when turning right now. So for daily driving I'm good.

 

The ups man just brought me a present,OME suspension w/881 coils,dakar leaf springs and nitrochargers all around.after toyota gave me a new frame for free i thought i might as well tear her down and start from scratch. started by takeing off the box and doing some minor body repair and removed any rust i found,then duplicolor bed armored the bed and undercoated the whole underside(thick).found some new skids from a memeber on here,then plasikoted them.then got a new driverside fender.took apart air intake cleaned it all out/new airbox(old1was busted)and did the deckplate mod.Instaled NGK plugs and wires yesterday(made sure to check the gaps,all were to close).gona start the suspension on saturday morning.wish me luck.

 

id just go do the pinch weld now man. Youl'll save your self from tearing up your new tires. and just take off the mud flaps.

 

I'll probably do it next Friday as well as take off the sway-bar. I'm still healing from my wisdom teeth removal and I'm not supposed to any strenuous activity. Even though I've already loaded my stock tires in the back of my truck....

I don't want to take off my mud flaps if I don't have to, my paint is still in good shape and I'd rather not throw a rock into somebody's windshield.

 

I seriously doubt you'll be able to run those tries without removing the mud flaps...shoulda got 33x10.5s if you were worried about getting shit everywhere..haha

 

Haha I'm not too worried, it just means I'm going to bed-line the bottom quarter of the truck sooner than I planned...

I could just remove them for trail riding and put them back on for highway use, that way I don't damage anything of mine or other's vehicles.

 

after you get sliders...won't matter. haha

also..those are wheelers type Bs right?

you will probably be rubbing a tad on the frame at full lock then

 

Haha true, sliders won't be until July probably but I hope sooner.

No, they're Summit Racing 85 Black 8 Series Wheels. 3.75" backspacing. I've got plenty of room between the frame and tire at full lock, but that's not while flexing. And by the look of how far the tires stick out, they'll stuff into the fenders perfectly.

 

oh okay good. Yea 3.75 is perfect. If it was 4..you'd be hosed haha

its the pinch weld you'll have to watch now. Gonna have to cut it and beat it in if you do wheeling. Especially after the sway bar is off. It will destroy you tires other wise

 

Yeah, hopefully I can get that done next Friday. I took a chunk out my 33's on my old Tacoma... It just requires a grinder and a BFH right?

 

yep! nothing too it.

 

Awesome, I wish we could do what the 2nd gens do by welding in a new plate. So much better in my opinion.
