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

Didn't you know you can't camp without a rtt, just don't wear khakis and the cool kids will think your cool

 

Camp? I meant expo

 

If I adjust my coil overs will it affect my alignment that I just got last week?

 

Yes.

 

Thanks.. What if I were to put a top plate spacer and lower the coilovers a little to keep my truck at the same height?

Probably still a good idea to get one I guess. Was just hoping if I could set it exactly how it was before then maybe I wouldn't need one.

 

Might want to check if longer studs can be used in the C/Os you have. Otherwise, not going to be able to add a top plate spacer.

 

Thanks. Good idea.

 

You could do that but make sure you measure so that you're sure you're actually still at the same height but honestly what would be the point to install the spacer only to lower the coilover? Any change in height will effect alignment. If you have oldish tires I wouldn't worry about it till it's time for new ones.

 

Basically I feel like ever since I raised my coils it's been a bit too stiff. I raised them about 3/4" which was about 3" of lift. I was thinking if I got like 1/4" or 3/8" spacers that I would be able to loosen those springs a little and get a little bit smoother of a ride.

 

Couldn't find 1st Gen engine apron fasteners for cheap so ordered some 2nd Gen engine ones off of Ebay hoping they will work in place of the 1st Gen ones.

1st Gen Part No. - 90080-46327
2nd Gen Part No. - 90467-10107



Testing later tonight but looks like they should work. Stem is a little shorter but same diameter and the head and latch look to be the same. Then I can get my new engine aprons done up.

 

Finally took some pictures of my new exhaust setup. All I had to do was remove my rear cat and bolt the "cat back" to the front cat delete pipe. I didn't need another delete pipe, which was convenient. Trd headers and aero turbine 2525xl if you didn't know.

 

Ordered my lift kit. Complete OME lift from Wheelers.

 

Where did the cat delete pipe come from or is it part of the trd header kit.

 

Let me know if they work cause I need some new ones

 

Nice bro. Congrats.

 

It's custom. When you buy headers you have to cut your front cat and weld on a flange, so the pipe was made in lieu of that.

 

+ expos, happening this weekend

 

Thought you where doing a 3 link setup?

 

No I cashed out what I had invested in that idea a while ago.

My future was going to change but it's not anymore so now I'm back on the truck.

Staying ifs for now...
