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

Yeah I think that's a 4.56 gear set in the baggie there. Not sure why he didn't include a pic of the front diff gears

 

Silas is on his like..3-4th with his..BUT..manual hubs..and i have read they are a bit weaker then ADD axles

but we all know Silas is a poser anyways..probably breaks them for attention..

 

Just replaced my tired old stock front coils with OME 881's.
Ride is a little firmer. Height is about the same.

I have adjustable Bilsteins, that were set to the middle grove.
Bottom groove now.

 

Orly? Never heard that lol. Maybe that's why my CV hasn't died yet even though it's going on probably a year and half now without any grease left in it lol

 

i ran mine dry for a long time and abused em..sure they would have failed eventually..didn't stop me though..haha

 

Yeah I noticed mine were slinging grease the other day. DGAF!

 

Mine's been spewing grease for a while now. Drove it cross country like that. I too DGAF.

 

Thank you sir

 

I ripped 3 in 3 months. Got tired of replacing them. So said screw it on the last one lol

 

Yea, one of mine has been ripped for lord knows how long now. Just not feeling like replacing a CV unless it is fuckulated. Grease is a mere suggestion.

 

That a baja term?

 

Most definitely. Highly technical jargon! lol. Its always fun to see how long it takes new guys to add that to their daily vocabulary. If gentle ears are present "exploderated" is an acceptable substitute.

The transaxle on our '13 car fuckulated itself on a drive day a couple weeks ago.

 

Saturday I got new Eibach coils in for my 5100's that have been sitting in the box for 2 months. Got them assembled and waiting til I figure out the rear suspension.

Got a set of Chevy 63" leafs and a set of stock Tacoma leafs yesterday, and a set of shorter/higher arched '73-'87 Chevy leafs today. All for free. Now I've got some options. For now I'm going to slip a couple of the '73-'87 leafs into the Tacoma pack, and ditch the overload.

 

lol nice, yeah virgin ears don't last long in the shop

And it happens, now they can make it better for this year.

 

Just swap the 63's in with the eibachs and 5100's. That's my setup! Them 63's are flexy

 

It's an RKI tool box. It's meant to be one for the side of the bed but it fit perfectly in the bed as a no show. So just drilled some holes and attached it to the bed liner. Makes a very convenient seat too haha

 

What kind of lift do u get and what do u need to complete this swap? If there is a write up that would be awesome.

 

Took my passenger front side wheel off Saturday to take my old coils/shocks off getting ready for the new Eibach/5100 set up and found this! Hmmmmmm! I should have known right fucking then, how this project was gonna go and just fixed this and claimed a small victory for actually fixing something! Oh but hell know! Took me at least 4 hours to figure out that it wasn't gonna go as planned! I cuss a LOT but I still feel bad for some of the rants I had, my poor dogs thought they were fixing to get the hell beat of them. Good thing, I was the only one at one of 4 river cabins within 5 miles. Needless to say, I'm still running on my old coils/shocks. Maybe I can get it done Saturday! lol

 

shoulda just taken the damn thing off. With the Eibachs..you'd be fine with out the sway bar.

 

ooooookay well I don't know exactly where "In close proximity to an undisclosed location" is but I do know this antenna looks damn good!

How is the reception in relation to where you live?
