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

Finally got it running. Getting alignment now

 

^^^^Nifty^^^^

 

made some progress on a Transfer case skid and new cross-member this week


3/16" plate.. just need to get the sides and rear bent up and get it all painted


there's some more pics and info in my build

 

I spent 45 minutes pressure washing my truck today since it was above freezing. Then I put some sta-bil in the tank, fogged the engine, put a battery tender on the battery, and covered it from the elements.

 

When did you get a snorkel? And from where?

 

I ordered it 3 months ago from autoanything and it took a month to get because fedex delivered it to some guy in Oregon first. Arb was running a 10% sale when I bought it.

 

had my windows tinted

 

Changed the brakes and put new rotors on.

 

You get that power upgrade kit?

 

33" 12.5 BFG All Terrains
3" inch ebiach coils / blistein 5100 on front & back
Diff Drop mod

Didn't get a chance to add the AAL. I think it looks really good as is. Debating on the AAL. Also, I notice a little vibration when going 60MPH+. Not sure if its something from the lift, or if its the new tires.

 

Almost hit a moose last night so i bought 4 more hella 500s and h3 55w hid kits. Missed him by a couple feet going 80.

 

Is it cyclical? Or just an overall vibration? If you can be more specific, someone here might have good input truck looks good

 

Let me know what you end up doing. Ive been interested in that kit for a while but can't justify the $$$ yet.

 

He's running both batteries to the bed...

 

I'm gonna do it, ask a question that is over asked, but I know we all love it

What tires should I get?

I'm currently running 235/85-16 duratracs, other then weak sidewalls I've liked them but don't want another blown sidewall so they're out. I like the tall skinny tire so I'm leaning toward KM2s in 255/85-16, but I'm not stuck on tall skinny, just 33"+. Most of my driving is on pavement as it's my DD but do off road, mostly dirt/rocks.

 

I've had my KM2's for the past 18,000 miles/1.5 years with mostly highway driving. I'm very happy with them so far on everything but ice. Still have plenty of tread and sidewalls have held up great to rock.

That being said I think I'll be trying MTR's next to see if they're any better during the Winter.

 

I'll be keeping my duratracs mounted on my spare rims for when I go to snow/ice. I had been thinking about MTRs but from what I've heard from guys on here they wouldn't want them on a DD.

 

Hmm, did they explain why?

Another thing about the KM2's is anything under 15mph is a little vibration due to the tread pattern. Can be annoying sometimes as it gets worse as you put more miles on them.

 

@isu2014 looks like your driver side overload leaf is crooked.

Couldn't help but notice.

Sweet truck though, sad to see it sit.
