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

Dang man that's nice! Did you say you're putting a 42" on the roof too? That's gonna be insane!
And be careful.. I think that intense light is wilting the leaves on those trees

 

Lmao!!! Yes I'm putting a 42" on the basket!

 

Post pics then too haha. And before an after pictures of the leaves on the trees haha.

 

Changed out plugs and Wires chasing a misfire code. Went from cylinder 1 to random haha. The plugs needed it bad, the corrosion was ridiculous.

Also changed the oil. Mobil 1 synthetic and OEM filter.

 

A member gave me a set of almost new tread wrights, so ya know...... i put them on.....

 

Whatever floats your boat I guess.

 

HA! yep, but hey they're alot better than what I had & actually not a bad tire for recaps, a little noisy (which i dont mind) but ride pretty good

 

I'd get em, but there isn't any tire sizes I'm interested in.

 

No 35s on 15s
No 37s on 15s
No 37s on 17s
No 40s

The only one I'd consider is the 37s on 16.5s but then I'm pretty much stuck with either those or old humvee tires.

 

wut?

No 37s on 17s

 

Exactly, not much size variation........

these are 265/75/16...

 

Thanks! Yeah a lot of awesome rigs on here. You just named my favorite ones. Can't forget about blackdawgs beast of a truck.

 

My 18" MagnaFlow (12256) package arrived and getting it unboxed and ready to be welded on at my local muffler shop later this afternoon.

 

I love mine, its the 14" Sounds great.

 

881s in the front that I got from dbclbmtn (IIRC his handle correctly) and dakars in the rear. It's up about 2.7" right now but I'll get measurements when it settles after a week or so.

And lemme know what angles you want and I'll snap a few for you.

I was tempted to remove a leaf to get down to the 4 pack but realized that I'd like to have that extra load capacity because I tow bikes semi-regularly.

When my tires run out (~5k or so) I'm going to have a hard decision between 265/75 and 255/85.

All in all if you've got your stock suspension/leafs I'd highly recommend upgrading and I'm fairly positive any aftermarket brand will do you just right.

Plus side is that my CVs still have a great angle to them so no worrying there!

 

OH!

And it got rid of my horrid axle wrap!

No more clunking for me!

 

I'm assuming no diff drops or anything other drop was necessary?

What about brake lines?

 

Finally got the truck all cleaned up last night after Moab. Clay bar, wax, a little spit shine and re-painted the grill.

Still need to touch up my skids/bumpers, and sliders that are scratched to hell, then repaint my rims. Tons of rockrash on those things right now.

 

No diff drop; all ridges of the CV are still a good distance away from each other, I'll test at full lock and try to flex it today to make sure.

I'm not gonna try doing full droop in the rear until I get some extended lines because I know I'll need them. I'm gonna swap for stainless so I'll order +3" when I get another paycheck in
