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

Higher CG will mean more lean but it does instill different driving habits.

Worth trying, IMO. Even just for a spin around the block and see how it handles differently.

 

Well, it wasn't today--it was yesterday. We replaced my worn-out front shock/springs and rear shocks with Monroe OESpectrums. Rides much better.

 

That works...

x a bunch

It's way different, when i took mine off the first time i took a corner at speed (no not hauling ass) I thought i was going to roll haha, this is because of the more relaxed nature the suspension had, after i upgraded shocks/coils that all went away, even if stock it just takes a little time to get used to it, now love it without on & off road..

haha...

This happens alot seems

 

Installed my lift

 

Could I have a bad head gasket .My truck made a noise that is hard to explain yesterday,I think it came frome the clutch, turned my truck off and roled to a stop. I turned the truck back on with no hesitation, It went in to gear easy and shifted but the clutch felt deferent. to day I notice that the coolant resavore cap was off and had more coolant than normal. the coolant was low in the radiator, but the oil was at the same level. I was going to crank the engine and let it run for about a minute then check the oil to see if he coolant had mixed with oil. It won't start but will try when I first turn the key.

 

more pics? and which coils?

 

I'll get some more pics up on my build thread. I got the bilstein 5100's with the OME 880 coils

 

Okay sweet. This summer im planning billie 5100's and 881 coils.

 

They worked good for me! I'm fixing to order some new tires and think I'm gonna go with 33x10.50 BF Goodrich AT's

 

Unfortunately I just bought 31x10.5 duratracs in February so I'll be sticking with this size for a while. Then I'll upgrade to 32x11.5 KM2's

 

Yeah I really like the look of the 32's too. I am undecided. I think I can fit the 33's under my truck though. I measured from the center of my fender down to the tire and had 9 inches of clearance and about 3 inches on each side toward the bottom

Edit: Mine are also 31's as of now

 

A little confused with how a bad head gasket translates into weird feeling clutch, anyway, you haven't said it yet but seems like you overheated & now it's missing real bad or not starting or ??? Just go pull the oil dipstick & check the condition of oil on the stick for color.. If it doesn't look like oil & more like a milkshake then you've got a blown head gasket &/or crack head possibly

 

I checked my oil its normal, and for the clutch I wasn't saying it was related to the head gasket, I was just saying I Think that was what the noise was. And as of the missing its be doing that for months. I hope I didn't over heat but I don't I did but I didn't. notice any steam coming from under the hood, and I always check temp while driving. I'm.afre it did overheat. Thanks for the input.And I always check oil and coolant before every startup.

 

Agreed!

 

i vote you get the cooper stt!! way better tire than the bfg and i have owned both and will pick coopers over bfg. way better road manners dry and wet, and pull better to. and i got mine cheaper for the same size. besides bfgs are overrated

 

Set your truck free and remove the bonds of the sway bar..

 

A little over a month ago my truck was sitting here with IFS and 32" tires. It now is resting on all 4's again on 39's

 

^ THAT IS SICK

 

Damn! And all I did was work on lights! Lol

 

Did some flexing and stuff.
