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

a lot of trimming..haha well..i did..due to BS..out of the lower fenders and pinch weld and a lot of hammering..

still rubs too..

Paul i believe is runnign that size(ponethousand)

with 4'' BS you'll probably still have to run spacers to keep them off the frame at full lock..

 

I had them and liked them. I'm just wanting to try a little wider of a tire this time, but I also don't want to lose the height by going 285/75. I figure I can keep the same height and go wider by going with 295/75. Plus before my cooper ST's I had the Hankook Dynapro ATM and loved them. So I figure the Dynapro MT should be a good tire.

 

i thought a 295 was pretty much a 12.5 wide..or is it a 12 wide?

 

Anyone have any CVs?

Yep, they're on my truck.

 

I guess the actuall size
295/ 25.4= 11.6"

I'm guessing the tire companies round up and consider it a 12" wide tire but it's actually closer to 11.5"

285/ 25.4= 11.2" but tire companies consider it 11.5"

 

TacoDell is running that size with 4" BS wheels. I know he is running a 1" BL as well though. It's a big tire.

 

Yeah I PMd him earlier. Hopefully I can figure something out. Thanks

 

X2 I torched my sway bar mounts

 

I wish I could get my sway bar to come off. Too damn rusty. PB blaster doesn't stand a chance

 

Well I put all of my 230 pounds into it for a solid five minutes haha. I can probably get it off, I'm just too lazy really. I can get the top part off, not the part on the LCA.

 

50/50 acetone and ATF. soak soak soak.

 

^^^^ this

And did you hold the stud with a hex head while loosening the nut?

 

Yep I used a hex head to hold it. I couldn't get any leverage on it that's all. I might try the ATF and acetone trick. Never tried it but I've know about it for a while.

 

Yeah, I think I'll be patient instead haha.

 

I just couldn't reach the passenger side bolts with the cat in the way so I said fuck it

 

On the sway bar?
I didn't have any issues with mine when i pulled it or when i reinstalled it.

Also, you got those OMD springs installed? if not then post up a review when you do.

 

Should have them on this weekend along with the elite

 

Hey cool triangle! I went with the circular surround. I wonder if shapes say anything about a person...

What did you do for an on/off trigger under your hood?

 

Is there a thread on how to do the engine lights?
