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

for sure thats exactly what I thought.

If you are on Instagram I highly recommend giving him a follow, he builds some sick shit.

Cant believe i never thought of that! Im going to build one for sure! Doubt it will come out as clean though. Did your friend makes plans for it or just build as he went? Mind if i copy the design? I don't like my Hi-lift sideways like store brands, I like it upright like yours.

 

Ya man go ahead! Really simple only thing it kind of wobbles a little but I need to figure that out still I can take more pics in the morning if ya want

 

That would be awesome if you could I would really appreciate it! And my dad had a wobble in a hitch sled carrier one time he fixed by drilling 2 more holes in through the receiver and hitch mount and bolted a heavy duty screw in. I would probably only use it on camping and wheeling trips but it looks fantastic. I have installed the trail gear tube bumper so my receiver is higher then yours but ill make adjustments

 

For sure man!! Ill pm them to u

 

Hmm interesting thanks for the info

 

I havent got an alignment yet i will after the new leafs go in.

Is it hard to put in?

I have all kinds of wierd steering wheel angles and vibes...but assuming its just my alignment?:sly:

 

Why are you waiting until after you get the new leafs to get an alignment?

Could be the alignment causing some vibes, if you still have some after an alignment then a diff drop should help. All you have to do is remove the stock skid and un-bolt two bolts that connect the diff to the bracket and then use the new bolts and spacers.

 

This weekend:

-Relocated UltraGauge
-relocated ham radio face plate
-installed switch plate with ham radio mic plug and cover over empty slots.
-relocated Homelink
-relocated stereo's mic









Full write-up here.

 

Idk. Figured itd be safe and everything would be in spec?

 

Then why not get it done now? Rear suspension mods don't change your front alignment. Only front suspension mods or new tires on the front will effect your alignment.

 

Discovered that pennies make great stencils

 

If you decide to get one, send me a PM!

 

I just want to be able to cruise totally doorless. Haha. Wouldn't be worth the trouble though since I'm power windows, mirrors, and locks. Feel like it would be a massive pain in my ass to take off the doors.

 

The change in rear height directly impacts the caster. Especially if the difference is a few inches. Besides. I'm pretty sure John has a set of springs on order and will be doing the rear shortly.

 

Finally ordered a BAMF BPV relocation plate. Don't know why I didn't do this sooner.

 

Eh, caster isn't something I usually have them put in spec anyways. I throw mine out a bit forward.

yeah, he got the leafs yesterday. I was just wondering why he was waiting.

 

That reminds me, I have to re-adjust mine now... Haha

 

I don't even know how much higher in the back the Dakars put me. I'll have to do some research and maybe some experimenting. I know a few posts I've read lately have me saying "Yeah, my truck brakes like that." so I figured it was time to order one.

Still have to order some axle relocation plates to make up for the shift forward.

 

Here are some general pics that may help....
