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

Just installed some Bilstein 5100 adjustables on the taco. Just leveled her out, so she's sitting with a better stance.

 

Got my rear relentless bumper ordered

 

Doh!... That would make sense. Thanks for the help!

 

Billet grill with custom logo and TRD emblem installed. Plus Westin bull bar with LED light bar up top and PIAA fogs at the bottom.

 

Runs to the charcoal can/vacuum emssions stuff on the driver side on some models. You may not have that, so the hose did not come equipped.

 

Who makes that grille?

Looks good!

 

That hole is a source of FILTERED air for the evap system. Without the hose connected to it, you are allowing UN-FILTERED air to bypass the filter and into the intake Plug it right away or connect it properly.

The mud is likely comes from the fan coming into contact with muddy water, some of which went directly into the intake.

 

I got mine from Amazon I believe.

put in 4 new speakers in mine last week. rockford fosgate 6.5inch took some cutom work for my 2 doors but it fits. heads up for people going to do a sound system in theres. on my 2000 extended cab tacoma driver door, the window track is in the middle of the speaker mount so either make some 1+ inch spacers for it to fit also need to shave some of the door panel to fit right, but they work and sound awesome.

next thing to do is to replace my lift kit with a mid travel kit. problem is i need upper arms and im not 100% on how to mount them from the stock struts. also my trd supercharger oil will need changed, any ideas on that. its a 3.4L 5-speed manual (never had a vehicle with forced induction before)

 

They also sell shallow mount speakers that fit with no customization whatsoever.

 

Here's a whole write up on rebuilding the s/c

 

thank you man would i have to do a complete rebuild or could i just do it like an oil change? i dont have the time or many tools.

also heres my front passenger side suspension set up. I'd like to replace the strut for a UCA but not sure on how to?

 

Whoa what's going on in that front suspension??? Your spindle looks very weird, do you have any pictures with your wheel off?

On a normal taco suspension you have a strut that sits in the bucket AND an UCA that connects to the spindle via ball joint.

We need more pics and info

 

^ meant to quote sorry

 

Looks like you have an older style drop-bracket lift.

Instead of having a longer spindle, yours has an extension on top of the spindle.

You'll need aftermarket spindles that match the amount of lift the drop-bracket is providing to be able to put on regular upper control arms.

 

Thanks ordered them Sunday.

Yeah not sure what was up, I tried on my phone and computer.
