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

5100s won't provide any lift in the rear. For the front, yes but it seems your trouble is with the rear axle.

If it were me, I'd try a new set of leafs instead of a traction bar. The stock ones aren't the greatest and don't age well.

Haha 4 people posting about how shocks will not provide the lift!

 

Technically, the 5100s provide lift in the front but that is due to them being a part of a strut assembly and having an adjustable spring perch. But that is "technically". The shock itself is not the strut.

 

For that price you could get 5 MV-50s. One for each tire and a spare.

But in all seriousness, I've been very pleased with mine for the price.

 

Better then just 1 person saying "uhhh i think that'll work, it worked on my chevy"

 

Haha yeah I was hoping that nobody would try to say something about adjustable spring perches or coilovers. Still not the shock though as you said.

 

Haha all we can do is tell them and hope they listen

 

Installed my LED reverse bulbs too sunny to see them now! Look cool though

 

Honestly, my MV50 for $45 hasn't let me down.

Even filled up a dude's 33s from 18 psi to 32 psi.

With 33s though, you might want a beefier compressor. I dunno.

Did that help?

 

In my past experience with this double electrodes are a must, singles cause mine to stutter and misfire just get some ngk-r twin electrodes

 

Yeah I'm just looking for something that's good & very reliable.
I'll take a look into that compressor

That definitely helped. Beefier? Sounds like both your Q Industries MV50 and the VIAR 450P are beefy enough

 

Installing my led reverse lights and led tail lights tomorrow!

 

you can run lockers off CO2...just saying..

 

Yep, that was the same w/ me at the meet a month or two ago

 

Yeah, I'd rather just use an air compressor.

 

works great..till you run out of electricity..haha



i just enjoy talking about this after Mike's ARB took a poo...

 

I would think that even if the compressor failed that it wouldn't be an issue since I still have c02 as well. Lose out of being able to use a front locker, oh well.

 

You can run out of co2 pretty easy or forget to fill it. Just get a compresser and attach a scuba tank best of both worlds plus you can air up your tires and you buddys tires.
