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

Nice! Wise move on the winch hitch receiver.

Oh, and just to tease fellow SAE guys, got these back today...

 

Pffff at this rate ill be locked before him

 

Picked up my new meats, all mounted/balanced on my new rims. Waiting for my lug nuts to arrive before making the swap. Calipers already ground for clearance.

 

Possible I guess...

 

Would when drive 1000 miles on the high way...

Or on those tight switch backs..

 

Made a build today, link is in my sig if you want to check it out

 

nice truck man! have the same truck myself. what size tires are you running in this pic? did you upgrade to a bigger size tire?

 

Would on the switch backs.

 

did rack bushings and 5100's... will get some pics tomorrow

 

Nah I know they aren't. But they could engage when I don't want it too. I hate that idea. Maybe not a big deal in the rear. But for front, yes.

 

Yea maybe. Gotta regear so maybe

 

Give me some power. Plus 4.88s will be great for the future 35s

Oh..and a crawl box is like a 2-3k project. Haha will happen one day..but ill regear first.

With my weight now the regear will actually merit me better mpgs even on the hwy.

 

Held off for awhile because I wanted an ARB since it's still a DD, but I also didn't want to invest in an ARB if I was just going to change out the axle at a later point. A cheap auto locker is up there on the list now.

^This!

 

Don't you start too!!

 

dude im with ya all the way. thats why I am going through all this work for the trd. id rather have no locker then deal with the what ifs of an auto locker. Me and you and jon seem to have gotten this far just fine, so might as well do it how you want.

 

Honestly, the regear (especially for being a manual trans) was a regrettable waste. I could've bought an inchworm for around that and it would've been much more versatile

 

Yea, I really want selectable. Just how I want it.

Lol. No. You will be dragging over much more. See..lockers don't do shit for clearance there is only one part in lander a locker is nice. And that's it. Rest of it is just LCA and diff banging rocks.

So..you will be the one crying for skids and 33s when we are done haha

 

Yea but you went to 5.29s. 4.88s woulda been better.

And an inchworm is around a grand??

Which is better...taco box or inchworm??

 

Dude. I'm telling you right now. There is nothing there that you need to hit with speed really.

I've been there...and explained it a thousand times. There aren't hardly any obstacles like Moab. It's just thousands of small boulders you have to dodge.

You will see. Haha
