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

Thanks haha.. My undercarriage looks amazingly good actually, PO had it garage kept for 10 yrs then I got it and had the undercoating soo ultimately I think I have the rarity of a survivor Northeast 1st gen frame!!

 

Good question. Not sure. Just started thinking about it.

 

It's quicker to flip a switch?

I'm a little confused on this blue plug mod. Does it work with both J shift and push button transfer cases?

I was planning on adding a switch to disable the ADD

 

Wasn't even back in town for 48 hours. Guess its time to wash it haha

 

Finally done with the sas built took it out to the farm banging groung rats

 

So what I gather is that for those w/ the push button you simply unplug the blue plug on the TC and you get Low on demand (gets you 2hi, 2lo, 4hi, 4lo) however if you are TRD is messes w/ the ground to engage the locker thus you have to do the grey wire mod too.

If you have the J shifter it's a little different, I don't, so idk how it's done exactly but I think a switch is required.

Manual hubs: don't need this mod, just put it into 4lo and don't get out and lock the hubs.

How do you disable ADD? I would love to have less shit spinning for the sake of my mpgs and CVs, info?

id drive a PW for Ron Paul any day lol

 

Just as soon as I can put enough $$$$ together to ship , I know I know....waaaay behind.... I'm kinda in a bad spot at the moment...

 

You're good man

 

Just got some new tires (285.75.16) and Icon leaf springs.



I don't post much, but I do read a lot on here. Need your honest opinion. Whether it's good or bad. I bought this truck a year ago, with bad leaf springs. Decided to wait till the tires went out to replace them. The truck came with Fab Tech shocks & coil overs. So I added a Icon mini pack, and figured I would go with a bigger tire, and just jack up the front to level it. Well, I did that, but it still looks a little low. Or should I say, I feel like it could sit a lil higher. I could probably squeeze about another inch up front, but not sure about the back. My thoughts are shackles or lift blocks? But don't know if blocks would work with the Icon set up just installed.
Here's where it gets worse. I got a deal on the tires from 4 wheel parts, so I let them do the rest of the work. And now I'm told, I need to go with a full lift kit to get any higher. And they said my shocks/ coil overs are old. I don't see why that would matter. They still work with no problems at all.

Your input is greatly appreciated.

 

I would probably just run longer shackles. Looks good!

 

Ok, I was thinking that. Thanks for your input.

 

Idk why you want it higher. Just means less down travel up front..probably none. And then you'll think your tires are too small haha

 

I fully expect, one day, to see your rig in a Stephen King reboot about bad ass Tacos coming to life and rampaging a small town. Better than Maximum Overdrive, since it would just be about gnarly Tacos (lol)

 

I'm not trying to go too high. I'd be happy with 2". Not too sure what it means when you say less down travel up front. They did do a diff drop, if that means anything.

 

Looks good tro me
