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

Ahhh ok, I see what you're saying. Yeah, that wouldn't be difficult. I'm assuming this is better than boxing in the existing support so energy can be transferred back into the frame, rather than straight down?

 

Today I did some things in preparation for my ARB and Superwinch. coming soon !!

Shifted the battery toward the fender wall


Fabbed up a bracket for the Solenoid, used some aluminum sheet I had lying around. I had to move the airbag sensor down a bit to make room. The bracket attaches using the existing threaded holes where the airbag sensor once mounted


still need to do the end cap mod, switch to the 883s, and do the wiring

 

Ordered gears/install kits today to do my swap to 4.88's.
cant wait! Been rocking 4.30's and 35's for 3 years... too long

 

I wouldn't mine the 4.30s

 

Yea I can't decide which way I like it better.

 

I like a little contrast so I think the chrome looks better

 

I think im leanin that way

All the critical points are plated, the only ones that aren't plated are gussets

 

Just finished 1st day of wheeling with the tacoma. Almost rolled going down a steep hairpin, got the sliders hung up on some rocks and used the slider kickouts to help steer through some tight spots.

It was a great day

 

The one you posted doesn't extend on the top of the frame. I did mine like your drawing though and made the plate cover the top of the frame too

 

I now own a 32mm combo wrench. and a bunch of other new tools. pictures to come.

 

So did I screw up by mounting the cage this way? Or can I make up for it by plating as well?

just stubbled upon it figured id throw it your way to maybe get an idea from it.

 

Anyone know the denso or Bosch cross reference number for the tacoma walbro 190 lph pump? My pump gave out on the interstate. I'm trying to find a locally stocked solution. I still have my stock pump if needed for now.

 

Putting this on today. Pics to follow.

 

Nice !! Which OME coils ?? 881's ?? Personally I run the 2nd gen. 883's on Tundra 5100's takes the rougher shit great & doesn't beat the shit out of me on the street...
