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

X2

 

Travis - your thinking that due to manual hubs, the axles don't spin all that often (except in 4x of course)?

 

X3 on 33's. 33x10.5 is great, but really a set of used wheels from CL shouldn't set you back much, if you'd rather go with a 12.5. Think my aluminum pacers, 15x8, were 140 - just needed a little love with some sand paper and rattle can. Btw the lower cost in tires for 15" almost fully covers the differenceof a used set of wheels. Just food for thought you'll be happy either way I'm sure!

 

I have Moogs and wheel the funk out of my truck with no problems.

 

Thanks for letting us know. I wouldnt expect any issues if i run with wheel spacers too.

 

Hahaha fucking auto correct....

 

I have spacers and 35'' tires

 

Welcome! Looks good!

 

Looks good! I used the same stuff on my last truck. Just know that it isn't the most durable stuff. I had large spots that rubbed off where heavy items (desk, dressers, tool box etc) moved or dragged on the bed

The upside to that though is you can touch the stuff up really easily and it will blend in perfectly

 

Lol - wheeling the funk out I ordered the driver side Moog tonight, so will replace that one as well next weekend. Not sure it is busted but funk it (as HBTaco would say), they wear in pairs, right?

I wound up breaking the tie rod and bj by flipping the castle nut, keeping it a bit above the head of the bolt, and hitting that with the mini sledge. I used the old bj castle nut on the tie rod when banging on it, just in case.

 

oh? I was saying that because i was unsure for a moment if the caliper would be too wide/thick to fit within my rim (possibly interfering with wheel spokes. But remembered I have spacers now. So there should be clearance within both the diameter and width of the rim. How much lift for 35" tires btw?

 

I put a new to me motor in my pickup this last week. Truck has over 300,000 on it not. Also fixed a high idle issue today and stripped it of the vinyl badges on the tailgate. All new oem gaskets in the motor. Should go another 200,000 I'm hoping. New LED headlights too

 

Thanks guys. I've been going every saturday ever since opening day of deer season only buck I saw. I also hunt elk as well but not planning on going this year, since I haven't seen any elks at all not even one during deer season.

 

Nice looking deer. Our camp tagged out opening weekend in Washington. Two mule deer and one whitetail.

 

Sold my snugtop and did some wheeling today before heading out for Baja tomorrow.

 

How are you planning to set it up this time? Back to a bed rack? I may have liked through your build a couple times

 

2-3" same as any other tire. Our trucks can't go any higher. However, you have to cut a massive hole in the fire wall and reweld in a whole new section.

I am also running spacers but only cause 35x12.5r15s rub the frame if you don't.

 

Exactly. ....
