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

X2 lol

 

You still remember my address? please ship it there

 

Fall is here in Seattle

 

if your going to get hids get projectors. The mini h1s from trs are a pretty easy install and will give u alot better light output then with hid and no
Projector

 

Getting my tires rotated and balenced today. Anyone considering wheel spacer beware alot of tire shops will not touch your vehicle becuse of the liability.
Gonna check my lbj bolts and wheel spacers when i get home. Anyone know the lbj tourque spec? And blue or red locktite on the lbj bolts?

 

I used the red on those bolts. I read a lot of threads stating that blue was enough. I also read that some use anti-seize on the LBJ bolts. I wouldnt, but just thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone else will comment. Anyway, I think blue will be enough but better safe than sorry.

 

That's what I thought. I've been but Wheelers sells a 1" lift shackle that will work with some metal sleeves. They aren't greaseable though. So I may go with Toytec 1.25" ones so I can grease them. Then again, my stock shackles weren't greaseable and they lasted for 70k miles just fine....

 

http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/1st-gen-tacomas/227867-bolt-stripped.html id go like 55ft lbs. Manual calls for 59ft lbs.

 

Do you guys think Quick Fists would hold a High Lift Jack if I drilled a hole & mounted them onto my bed rails...?

Does anyone have experience with this?

 

Doubtful... A Hilift may be just a little too heavy.

 

I feel like it would be too heavy, but I see on eBay they sell some made for the hilift so maybe

 

That's what I was thinking... but hoping someone has had success. Yeah, it's nearly 30 lbs

 

Haha I'm surprised nobody mentioned the 1st gen taco magazine ad haha

Crawl box was just a tease. I have to send it back already because they accidentally installed the wrong spline count output shaft. I keep running into these stupid little problems that stall the build.

Just the issue with the steering arms is getting ridiculous. I ordered the first set like a month and a half ago, was machined wrong so they sent me another set which was ALSO machined wrong. Been like 3 weeks now waiting for some word on the third set.

I think I'll go have some of that Jameson now.

 

i have toytech 1'' lift shackles..non grease able..no issues.

yes quick fists will work..

however..i wouldn't put them on our bed rails to hold a hi lift. Too thin.

figures...

you can keep it..i don't want it now

 

you can get an HID kit for about 50$ on ebay. I had a set in mine and they lasted a long time (still goin) but they are super easy to install so I think 40 $ to install them is a little high... but IMO HIDs do not give you as much visibility as regular brights do. but they definitly look cool

 

Made some waterfowl decals today

 

Will this radiator be ok to mount? It's about 5" shorter than stock but everything else matches up. According to auto zone this is the correct one for a 2wd PRE-RUNNER. Anyone ever had this problem, or know if it'll work?

 

You should be good to go

 

for the V6?? or for the 3rz? id check on that..

 

There are a few guys that run it with the V6 and haven't had any issues.
