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

I cannot wait to get my 33's on im running 30s now and its not lifted yet. They look like baby tires on my truck. Shopping around now for a good looking AT tire.

 

How much total lift did you get with that set up?

 

Eibach, so 3.25" probably or more.

Rear is probably 3-3.5

 

I honestly don't know.
I'd measure it from hub to fender, the only problem is that I have these "mystery" flares and don't know where my fender lies behind them. I could use another reference point like the bed rail if you'd like.

I thought the Eibachs only lifted it 3" even

 

After it's settled it'll be 3''

 

it will settle down

 

ahh ok, I hope the rear doesn't settle a whole lot. I've had the 5-leaf pack for a year and just threw in the sixth leaf (wheelers AAL)

 

6 inch KC spots on my bull bar. Big improvement over the 4 inch I previously had.

 

thanks Pcbuilder for the tip on the shifter light. It came out great.

 

Found out I owned this today. Actually forgot about it for the past 10 years. Any use on our tacomas?

 

Finished removing the drop bracket today, in for an alignment tomorrow

 

Started some new tube doors while welding up some sliders..

 

Those 33x10.50 BFGs look great, Terror. I'll be getting a set of those in a couple weeks. Not cheap!

I washed my truck today, and replaced the gas fill door, having done some painting in recent days. Got up into the frame some with a scrub brush finally, I've got almost 20 years of road grime on the bottom of my truck.

 

Thanks that's 2weeks in a row I hit some dirt. I will be shooting for three weeks in a row this Saturday...

 

Just finished swapping in an e-locker rear axle set up with brand new 4.56 gears.

What a difference! This thing drives great now! I still have to swap in the front, but that will wait a few days. Just breaking in the gears on the commute for now.

Sorry, no pics. I didn't have time to take any. Had to finish it tonight so I can drive to school tomorrow!

 

I'm the third owner, so who knows what happened before I got it but...in my '97 I found a bulb socket just hanging out behind the ash tray. I stuck an extra red LED it that I had and *poof* light when the dash lights are on.

However, there is no place to actually mount it in/to the ashtray - I've looked more than a few times.

So, I just went below the ashtray to the junk pocket and duct taped it to a hole there so I get a glow from the pocket now.

I did NOT have any kind of light/socket for the glove box however, so that was one of my mods.

 

What notch are they set at on your billies?

 

Finally broke my 2002 in just now also Seafoam the truck last night at the Target parking lot the employee asked if I needed a fire extinguisher LOL:

 

You can't run Eibachs and Bilsteins on any setting other than the lowest notch, so that's where they are set.
