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

bought and "installed" a tonno pro hard fold, then painted their logo black.

 

16s.

 

Woot! Cruiser Outfitters making people happy.

 

They're definitely good people to deal with.

Spoke with Bryce a couple of times after my order arrived and he was quick to respond and make sure everything was to satisfaction.

A+ customer service for sure.

 

Yep people who have never dealt with them just don't get it. There's no better customer service.

 

Looking forward to getting my lift through them. Hopefully by the end of the month..

 

Nice wheels man, but your shocks are leaking...

What leafs did you get?

 

Look to be OMEs.

 

I had cut them for my satoshi grille, but they were a bit large to fit.

I love skittles ! (and my pre-ban tec-9).

 

Looking online and knowing that I need to replace at least one front strut, I found these on Rock Auto:

As much as I want to get a full OME kit, it'll be some time before I could get new tires and gears so I'd be running a 3" lift with 30.5" tires. So, does anyone have any info or experience with these strut assemblies?

 

Did you get them all from rock auto or where? Let me know how it performs. I may be replacing my steering rack and doing all of this as well. So far priced everything out from low-range offroad.

I've been wanting this for a while and plan on doing it if I ever flood.

As far as camp lights go it will work but also blind the fuck out of you.




I am running two though. I am thinking of maybe making a red filter for something a little more toned down.

 

i feel like you need to press the large bushing out. i just have the ES bushings sitting in my garage. But I've talked to my mechanic about it a little.

Damn thats fat.

 

I watched a video where a guy pressed it out with a home made little thing. Might wanna try searching YouTube for LCA bushing removal or something.

 

Hmm that guide seems pretty good I would just follow that.

 

Yup, all from Rock Auto.

Hopefully I can get some of it installed soon. But I'm very busy this whole month...

 

I am thinking of getting a light bar, should I get a curved 50" or a 20'' and put it in my lower valance, or both. Its going to be a wile but I am looking for some motivation to pull the head off of my truck and see if I have a blown head gasket.

 

Why do you think your Head Gasket is blown?

 

It is very hard to start, when it starts it smokes like a SOB, 30psi lower compression in cylinder 2 vs 1,3,and,4 coolant overflow cap blew off while I was driving.
