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

Wilco I'll get some up tomorrow. I love the rustoleum brand bed liner though. Holds up well

 

Not really what I did to my truck today, but I finally put together a build! so in a way its what I've done over the past year

 

Replaced the turn signal flasher to stop my hyperblink
Removed fender flares and had some 315/75/16 km2's installed
I thought the 35s would look a lot bigger for some reason.


Also stopped by ffdawson's to give him my 285s so he can sell them to his coworker

 

Looks good bro!

 

Yeah man the 35's look good. They'll feel big once you stuff them tires.

 

Thanks guys!

 

Wait till you start cutting. You'll be like...no way is that big!

Then again you have 315s...so won't have to cut quite as much

 

So, called a couple local reputable shops. The first one directed me to the one I talked with.

I intended just to have somebody replace my wheel bearings for me, but if they're going to be at that point I might as well have them replace the lower ball joints at the same time since it's only 4 extra bolts to remove on each side at that point.

They quoted me just over $500 in labor to replace the wheel bearings and ball joints! That includes an alignment, which I wouldn't get due to the fact that I'm replacing the tie rods anyways.

Might as well get Toyota to do it for that price!

 

Damn that's cheap, especially for oem parts and labor

 

Not oem parts and labor. Just labor.

Already have all of the parts.

 

Wow, another place just quoted over $800.... Calling for about 7 hours of labor...

 

Tell me about it, was looking around to get my lift installed and they said for a 3" lift it would take 7-10 hours lol

 

Got my headlights all buttoned up

 

Helped my friend put in 1.5" lift blocks on his 99 and now it shakes while idleing down the road and at 20-25
You can feel it while
Coasting
Idleing
Under throttle
Is this just how blocks ride or what? Thanks

 

Remove blocks.
Problem solved

 

Wow thanks for that insightfull answer

 

My blocks don't do anything like that and mine are 2.5", did you tighten the u-bolts back all the way?

 

I was under the impression that these are 35/12.50 right?

BFG makes a 35/12.50r15 and a 35/12.50r17 but for whatever reason the 16inch tire is a metric measurement 315/75r16


Did I get the wrong tire because that's what I wanted was a 35/12.50

 

It's a 34.6/12.4-r16. Close enough... Haha

 

Right I know the conversion is shy but if the tire is that much smaller than a true 35 I think I may have fucked up. I did think they looked smaller than I had imagined once they were in there
