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

Speak to lotsoftoys he can give you some good advice.

 

yes aftermarket ucas add caster for this exact reason

 

Ok thanks a bunch. I asked the guy at the shop that and he said new UCAs wouldn't change it much because Toyota "does it a bit differently." Said something about changing the LCA lol. I just nodded and said yes so I could get outta there.

Any recommendations on UCAs? Light racing? My brother had total chaos ones on his first gen. I tried swapping them off when he was selling it but he caught me as I was taking the tires off

 

O shit snuck up behind me

 

id get a uniball one personally. Light racing is a ball joint still.

have tons of options now. Allpro, Camburg, Icon, TC and few others i think.

 

Ha totally camped at that place before. Nice. Get some wheelin in? I might go up in a month or so... I'll keep you guys posted.

 

Got my coilovers installed tonight. I'll post pics tomorrow

 

Last tank averaged 13mpg. I gotta do o2 sensors. Does the rear o2 sensor have a gasket? The ones I bought only came with one. Also, do I need to unplug the battery to reset the electronics?

I don't have a CEL. Im just running out of ideas as to why my mpg is so poor.

 

Went out wheeling at a local trail. Rig did great.

 

I really like the solid axles. Good stuff man.

 

Plus Light Racing were the ones that broke all the time. I can't remember if they supposedly fixed the design problems but I'm still weary of them.

 

I thought that was them too. I'll stay away from them. Probably end up with Camburgs eventually.

 

I keep seeing random SAS'd rigs popping in this thread.

 

I was thinking the same thing, guess I'll have to do one now because apparently it's pretty easy

 

That is a good choice. You get what you pay for.... Better then being broken down on a trail.

 

Last time i checked all you needed was an axle everything else just bolted right up to it iirc

 

Finished up my first fab project this past weekend. Nothing great but it works for what I want. I learned a lot about welding from this project. I plan on upgrading to a better welder in the future so I can weld with a bit more confidence . The shit Harbor Freight welder isn't terrible. It works good for small projects like this. I think I'm gonna add some more cross bars then grind it down and paint it.

 

They are a bit more expensive but I highly recommend the Icons because of the uniball covers:

 

Looks great!

 

im pretty sure pro comp makes a bolt on sas kit..
