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

Developed some vibes when I'm braking... Need help addressing the issue haha.

1. Had vibes at 48 mph dropped the carrier bearing a little and those went away.

2. Recently after the drop I've noticed another vibe while I'm braking.... Feels like the whole truck is shaking

3. Isn't as bad in 4wd but still noticeable. Don't think it's the rotors or pads because it doesn't pull and I can't feel it in the steering wheel directly.

My guess is it's definetly the driveline. Gonna order a new CB, and probably axle shims instead of washers for the drop. Could it possibly be my steering rack bushings also ?

 

Just got word from Adam at 4xinnovations that they will be getting parts back from the laser cutter, and starting a new bumper for the 1st gen Taco's next week. I am VERY curious to see what it will look like.

 

I'd like to see them adapt this to fit our trucks

 

I almost got to be the guy to leave Adam my truck to let him fit bumpers too

 

I suppose I should've clarified, front and rear!

From Adam,

"I just sent my laser cutter the drawings for the first front and rear plate bumper for a 1st gen Tacoma. We should have parts on the truck next week! "

 

Interested to see what they make!

 

VERY interested....

 

I'm very interested as well but I may have my heart set on a Relentless DIY plate rear if Eric could work up a swing out option with the DIY kit.

 

I have a feeling I'll be sticking with the CBI Bushmaster 1.0, but who knows...

 

Working on bed and rack lights.

 

Interested to see how bright they are

 

I love my CBI bumper.. Super good workmanship and probably some of the best customer service I've had so far. Not to mention the super quick turnaround time. Only waited about a month.

 

From what I've heard and the pictures I've seen pretty damn bright. More for rtt ladder, getting shit out of the fridge, tool box. I have a movable blitz pro for a utility/dust light. After this I'm done with lights!... till next week when the big mamma jamma comes in

 

If I ever get around to painting my bed rack I'll finally throw on my bed lights.

I'm jealous of your final light you're adding...

 

I know that Adam makes nice stuff..his 3rd gen 4r plate bumper is awesome.

 

Did you ever post pics of your CBI?

 

thought so. I don't have many though. I will get more up eventually. Been super busy this last week or so. Its all painted n such now.





These are from earlier this week: (hoping i can make that bondo disappear this weekend )

 

Looks good

 

Is that rattle canned or powdercoated?

 

Thanks

Rattle can. I plan on getting it line-x'd eventually (along with the rest of my armor.)
