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

Yup. Topper, bed rack and about 100 lbs of stuff in the back.

 

Did some regular maintenance in honor of returning from a trip..
As in drove it WAO and cleared out the cats haha

 

Haha that's awesome i may eventually get a roll bar, ive always liked them

 

Well , if my theory is right.. since we spend more time at faster speeds going forward (more than reverse) it would seem to me that initial impact from bumps,jumps,ruts,rocks,etc: is transferred backwards,meaning in the direction of the driverside rear shock angle (angled back) as opposed to the pass. side shock (angled forwards) The pass. side does little as far as absorbing impact, all it does is dampen the impact a little..

Seeing how these 5125's off 2nd gen (equal length) are going on , figured I'd config the positions the same, not a huge physical change but if im right it'll be a huge change in ride & characteristics... how ya been Terrance ??

 

i think if i had a topper instead of a tool box on my 96 i might be able to break 30mpg ive gotten 28 if i keep it at 65mph-70

 

redid my fender flares with bedliner

 

twinzie in the making

 

Not true

 

After 14 years, my Tacoma finally has an upgraded suspension/lift (OME)

 

Congrats! It's definitely a good feeling!

 

After 15 years I'm still dreaming of an OME suspension.

What set up did you get? And did you visit ToyTec?

 

881s/Dakars, Nitrocharger Sports, no diff drop. I did visit them but I went with Slee Off-Road. So far very pleased with the overall experience.

My truck is very much like yours. I'll try to get some photos up tomorrow.

 

def want a new front bumper. what suspension you running?

 

Air box assembly broke this weekend. Broke clean just before the MAF sensor. Dealership quoted $485 for the part. Found it "NIB Aftermarket" for $125 (fingers crossed). Fixed today. Bummer.

 

That's the exact set up I want.

Are you running 31x10.5 r15s?

I'd love to see your set up and know how you like the ride on and off road (?)

Thanks

 

how in the world did you do that?

 

In the process

 

Do what? Get 25 mpg? I drove from Boulder to Estes Park to Dillon, then Dillon to Glenwood Springs and back to Boulder. Pretty much all highway driving.

 

You must seriously drive like a granny..

 

And proud of it.
