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

nah who needs brakes. haha. and i took out my ebrake so that wont help haha

 

Cool, I'll check it out.

 

Are they "prime" eligible? $80 a year for prime...worth it imo for the two day shipping to my place...for you it may take a week or so but $80 is better than $781!

 

Took a picture of it because I liked the way it looked as I was walking away

Parking lot is slanted, no Bro lean here, just looks like there is



Also, since I have a stock stereo I'm going to try and find the "mid" range adjustment. I've always had the bass and treble but never Mid's. I'm about to go try, I'll report back if it works.

 

Looks good! I dig that softtopper!

 

Nice looking truck! For mid range just hold the tune button until you hear a beep, you now can adjust mid. If you shut off the truck before radio it will go away, no big deal but kind of annoying to go through the process again and again if you're like me. If you shut radio off first everything stays how you left it

 

I recommend it if your on the fence. Keeps the bed dry and the weight savings is phenomenal

Yep, exactly what I did and it worked. Its cool to find out new little things when I thought I knew everything about the truck.

 

They are not. If they were I'd definitely get Prime. It'd be worth it for that purchase alone.

 

So...Balljoints..

Moog or OEM?

 

what wheels?

 

looking at procomp 7069s 16x8. Or any aluminum wheel that looks similar with the right backspacing.

 

Have you looked at the Mickey Thompson Classic III? They're what I have... not sure what back spacing (was told by 4wheelparts guy that they only make one in Toyota sizing... when I ordered my 5th) they were on the truck when I bought it

 

Yes I have and I like them too. Basically the same thing but I was having trouble finding them with the right bolt pattern. They obviously make them though haha.

Oh, and go beavs!

 

OEM is best but typically more $. If you can then go OEM.

That being said I have a driver side MOOG LBJ and Outer Tie Rod. LBJ I've had on there for about 5K miles and it's done well.

 

x2

OEM if you can afford it. But OEM costs about 3x as much as Moog...

I'm about to replaced all of my tie rods and both LBJ's with Moog. Been running Moog UBJ for over 15,000 miles and they still look new.

 

Yeah I don't know shit about what bolt pattern/back spacing I need, the guy at 4wheelparts just told me they only offer one in the toyota size... $130 or so out the door (no shipping if you pick them up, and they're like 10min from my house)

it's been 6 years since I was in Anchorage... but there were a few different shops that did off-road stuff (i was mostly into street bikes then... so don't remember the names) think one was on 6th across from the airport... might check them see if you can save on shipping...

or maybe Les Schuab, though I know they can't/won't get the Mickey Thompsons

Wow ive seen soft toppers before but never really liked them till i saw this one with the sides flipped up imma have to buy one now

 

Good to know. I was planning on doing new remanned CVs and all new oem BJs but after pricing it all out i'll have to sell a kidney to replace it all.
