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

got a 96 sway bar and stuff to make quick disconnects today

 

Forgot how fun it was to order truck parts TG clutch kit here we come. And ordered some light for more side mirror lights..

 

Got my 3rd back today, installed, damn that thing is heavy as hell & no leaks so far haha...but there is an issue.....

EDIT: Thought there was an issue but no issue

 

Don't think it will fit on 01-04.

 

Damn! Looks great! Now I can't wait to get mine on

 

Looks awesome Reid.

Are the 265/75/16 pretty much the 16" equivalent of the 31/10.5/15?

Your tires look awesome in proportion to a 3" lift.

 

So I have my hi lift mounted on the bed rail using the hi lift lock rack. It's actually breaking the bed rail. I can post pics if needed. But basically the lock rack holds the jack up at two points on the bed rail and has two bolts going through the bed at each point. The weight of the jack and it bouncing around while driving is actually breaking the bed rail because it is so thin. Does anyone have any other solutions to mounting the hi lift?

 

I fabbed up my own brackets and support and its held up just fine for the past several months. My design included backing plates for the bed rail as well as a vertical support. Check out my thread on it..vvvv

I think the 265/70's are 31/10.50 and the 265/75's are 32/10.50.

 

Yup pretty much

 

All new valve cover seals & plugs , but my IAC found that it didn't like baking in the cab with the intake manifold for 4 days in 95º temps so it seized up...that was a bit of a head scratcher!
Oil leaks are now gone.

 

Make some backing plates to reinforce the flimsy bed rail. See the last post or so of my build.

Ah yes, that's right. I like 265/75 size. Damn might need 16" wheels when I get new tires next

 

You could just go with 32x11.50x15 and stick with your current wheels.

 

Thanks fellas!

Madjik - The 265/75 is in between 31 and 32. Idk if it matters much but at 37 psi most of my tires stood just under 31.5" in height. Was hoping for at least closer to a full 32 but they look a lot better than my worn out 31s would with the lift

 

^^^^this and probaly be cheaper to.

 

Yeah but the problem is there's only a handful of tires that come in 32x11.5.

 

There's always 33x10.5r15 too...

Though your choices there are km2, bfg at, and general grabber at

 

I just did my first oil change after swapping in the Fumoto valve. Very satisfied. Click it open, and a smooth mess free pour in to the pail. It definitely drains at about 1/2 the speed of 'stock' but it doesn't bother me.

Oddly, i didn't get that fancy red-ring deal with mine... havent had any problems yet and with my skids on, it can't be accessed anyway.

 

sent off a large payment.

 

Drains a lot faster if the oil is hot. Still slow though. I didn't get that red ring either. Must be another brand maybe.
