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

I think the plastidip line is way too high up on the mid size.

If you really want the plastidip on the rocker panels, I'd remove the black rubber trim, and only dip to the first "line" above the rocker panel where it begins to curve

 

IMO I like the passenger side, just take that black molding off and give it a good wash/wax.
If you really want the plasti-dipped line then lower if a few inches

 

It just looks to busy in my opinion with the lines of the doors, the pinstriping up top, the black molding and the plastidip.

 

Soooo you all with wider tires/stances.. did you get new flaps, if so where did you get em from? Or did you just keep running the stock flaps?
IMO it looks kinda goofy to me

 

I installed my 5100s today, set on the middle setting, gonna get it aligned Monday, I'll post pics later

 

Oh pep. Let us know what you think of the ride?

I had mine initially installed on the highest setting (mechanics mistake), but it was such a scary ride with that & 3" eibach coils. It felt so wobbly

 

Took mine off

 

Took mine off too. I liked the look of them, but it looks taller without them and the rub too much off road.

 

You guys get a lot of rocks flying up behind you? ...I guess I should ask the guys driving behind you all haha. Really though, do you guys think you fling up more rocks/debris behind you?

 

Could be worse..




You'll get used to it. I'd leave em on as it does help keep crap out of the undercarriage a bit.

 

I drive aggressive with my girl all the time together and I've never kicked at rock at her car.

... But of course I don't know for sure. But I haven't noticed anything

 

HAHA. Those things cover what would look like a little more than 1/4 of the tire

Lol yeah well you probably don't look over her car as well as you do your truck


Okay and this is the law for WA state:



To my understanding I would need either fender flares (probably not gonna happen since I like the look without) or mud flaps (currently have). I would rather Johnny Law not have a reason to randomly pull me over.

two questions guys...

I have 5100's in the rear with a 1.5" 3 AAL right now. Could I add a 1 inch shackle lift with the shocks or will it be too much on the shocks when articulating?

And Over what lift in the front should I look at UCAs?

 

You should be fine..won't gain much droop due to shocks being a bit in the short side.

1st gens don't always need UCAs at all. But they never hurt

 

For sure thanks!

 

Monte has some epically hilarious pics of his stock flaps and 35s?

Edit... beat me to it

 

Rear view mirror lift from ImMrYo on the Tacoma Products by TW members thread . Super easy install and now I don't have to duck to see around the mirror.

 

Would anyone be interested in a LC Engineering Underdrive crank pulley? Belts included.
for a 1st gen 2.7L

 

Off topic, I know. But I figured most in here would appreciate this.

Just when I thought this site was all out of surprises.
