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

You will have a braking system like every other vehicle on the market. I understand what you mean but people take the Toyota lpsv way too seriously. I don't see every other truck on the market doing donuts when they try to stop. If you know how to drive a vehicle you will be fine, if you can't handle brakes then you shouldn't be driving off road. Want a crazy one? I also have no ABS and I still don't lock up my tires WITH the extra brake power

 

I'm sorry... not thinking straight.

The fronts would lock up before the rear before weight transfer.

The stock BPV is good as long as its set right.

 

Yeah I have no ABS and prefer it that way as long as everything's dialed in right

 

Although mines set to 3.5" setting even though I've only got 1.50" of lift. I locked up my rear brakes with very little pressure. I moved it down a notch and even in a pacic stop was able to lock up the rear. I like my bamf bpv arm relocator bracket.

 

Same here. I would rather lock them up in a panic than with very little pressure like I did when I first installed bamf bpv bracket.

 

Got my new wheels and tires put on. Went from 15x8 Pacers with 32/11.50/15s on them to 16x7.5 FJ Trail Teams with 285/75/16s. I feel like they are so skinny compared to my old wheels and tires. I don't think I like it as much

 

Pics??

Here's what happened on Monday.

 

^just a flesh wound

 

I've done worse...

 

Time for a plate bumper?

 

Some jerk in a F150 decided to mess with me because I was going 10 miles over the speed limit. Almost hits my front right. Gets in front of me and slows down, I try to go around him in the middle lane. He cuts back in front of me and slams on his brakes. I hit him and the crazy part he takes off from the scene. The police said it was a hit and run on his part. Didn't get a licenses plate. Thank god for full coverage.

 

You need one of these.
I have one in my work van cause I deal with a-holes on the street all day long. I witness on average one accident a month. I put it in the truck sometimes too depending on where I'm going.

Here's pics of the new tire setup. Gotta throw some spidertrax spacers on the rear this weekend

 

I would have kept the old wheels and just went 33x12.50. Its cheaper and looks better IMO.

 

That is f***in' TITS!!! Looks awesome!! Makes me want to paint my wheels...and get some new tires.

 

You like it better than my old setup

 

I personally do. I am a big fan of those TRD wheels. They are just so kick ass. And the BFG's accent them very nicely.
