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

the rugged trails are the factory take offs. everyone hates the shit out of them

honestly most A/T tires will be your best bet. they do fine on road, dont get bad mpg but can still handle trail use well

 

I love my bfg a/t's! One if the best tires I've ever ran!!!

 

well I have a prerunner w/o trd or locking rear diff. so not really looking for a trail tire yet . . . :/

what do you think about the bfg rugged trail vs the new rugged terrain?

 

Just because you have a 1 tire fire doesn't mean you can't off road.
Rterrain>Rtrail
As long as you air down most tires will do well.

 

Heck, Monte goes through some pretty big stuff and he's never had lockers haha

 

I'm starting to think most people assume I am locked...


So not


Don't let open diffs hold you back!

 

I may or may not have assumed so until recently

 

Haha but you also might want to get a little armor first

 

yea..armor helps...

so does nice suspension..

but all that stuff helps anyone that offroads.

 

True, I wanna test out my new gained clearance up front. But I have no skids anymore so it'll have to wait...

 

"1 tire fire"

 

so... don't know where to ask this, guess this is as good of a spot as any

anyone have an idea who the maker of a mystery Mexican made leaf pack is?
I was fluid filming my undercarriage the other day and noticed "Mexico" written on the bottom of one of my leafs

i ask because, whoever makes them, they are as pathetic as stock and have a dramatic negative arch with 250lbs in the back
have been thinking about going AAL just to stiffen them up; but, if they're garbage, i might as well get new packs altogether

 

Gonna need some pictures for an accurate answer

 

yeah, i know it's limited info... i'll have to snap some pics when the sun comes up
i just figured there's probably only so many Mexican made packs out there

 

P.S. Congrats on the new Elite front bumper
looks great

 

Thanks man, yeah I'm sure someone knows what they are without pics but I have no clue

 

So they are not stock? I think I remember seeing Mexico stamped on my old stock leaf packs

 

oh! maybe... i just assumed anything stock on a Toyota would either be Jap or American made

 

Here ya go http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/4-cylinder/83277-made-usa-mexico.html

 

i'll be dogged... thanks, dude!
my VIN starts with a "4" which, according to that, means made in Japan; and someone said that the beds were made in Mexico
so, I guess my Taco is International
