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

I installed a fuck ton of horsepower:

 

Can I ask what you paid for those? Been trying to decide between just buying one of the full lift kits from toytec or the individual items like you did.

Just want to get what I need and that be that.

 

It's a little over $500. Keep in mind that this is a front lift only plus rear shocks. You still have to decide on a rear lift.

 

I got all this from Toytec. If you use the discount code for TW members (112710) then its $488.28 before shipping.

 

That doesn't mess up the sliding rear window does it? I've seen them royally screw up the seal on some 2nd gens

 

Well i washed her, cleaned the air filter, mounted fire extinguisher, slapped on my tacoma world decal(thanks Bob) and turned 170,000. Not a bad days work!

 

Gear Head- I do know that, but thanks for pointing it out cause it leads to my next question... has anyone tried these yet

Right now my truck has a rev tek kit that the PO had put on.

 

Are those motometal 951's? Whatever they are they look good on your truck.

 

That middle decal is crooked so I may take it off one day. But what do you mean by messing up the seal?

 

Lots of people have the dakars and like them. I can't speak for them personally. I was considering them at one point but I'm just going to rebuild my own packs now.

 

The vinyl on the decal obviously sticks out further than the glass, so on a bunch of 2nd gens i've seen when they open the back window, it pulls the rubber seal out and screws it up. I've never seen it happen on a first gen though so I was wondering if it did it to yours so I could decide whether or not to put a decal on mine.

 

Haha I have never put a sticker on the middle glass on either one of my tacomas and the weather strip always folds over making the back glass unusable.

 

I just never open my sliding rear window. Lol

 

Looks like I don't need to put a sticker there haha.. Mine has never folded over like that but I sure don't want to give it any help

 

I opened it all the time (before the seal issue) on my regular cab. Doesn't bother me now because I can't reach it while driving anyways haha.

 

Yea, found them on craigslist new for $300. Not my first choice but for the price i couldnt pass them up. Thanks

 

That's true it's a pain in the ass to open it with the xtracab haha. I usually only open it when I'm haulin people around in the back and wanna talk to them haha

 

Well my backseat holds a bigass sub box sooo yeah... Just getting back there is a pain

 

Oh yeah I bet. My backseat holds all my tools, usually a .22, and a little foam board bull head named "Ol' Horny" haha. Don't ask.

 

Definitely was! Here are some pics that they took of my truck while my tire was about 2 feet in the air.




And here's the trail damage I was talking about. Not too bad...
