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

I'll let you just add it to the list! I want new skids first. Those leafs were new with my frame! Which was done at the end of march 2013.

 

Anyone running ADS coilovers on their first gen?

 

Pliny is the only one that I can think of.

 

Yes they are the toytec adjustable. However I decided to go down to the 1" holes, which required cutting off the 2" holes (dumb design). I cut them too close (dumb human) and now I can't safely use the 1.5" setting. But it's no big deal I sit somewhere between .5" and .75" higher in the back even with the extra weight.

 

Waiiiit huh? You can't use the 1" setting?

 

No it hits the mount or something. I tried

 

That's so dumb. Good to know for when I eventually upgrade my springs!

 

Yeah most definitely.

 

I do on my long travel. Awesome awesome shocks.

Ah. Well that sucks.

 

I have the Toytec adjustable shackles. I have them set on the 1" lift and they don't hit anything. From the looks of your picture it looks like the bumper mount is in the way. Nothing a quick hit with a angle grinder wouldn't fix.

 

Yeah I thought you just had to grind down the bumper mount when using the short holes, not cut the actual shackle.

 

thank y'all!

 

There ya go. To my credit (excuse inbound) I wasn't too savvy with the grinder back then. Still not... Haha

 

Get savvy with it! It's my favorite tool I have. It cuts shit and makes sparks, how can you not love it?

 

You will love them

 

Should be able too. Just a bushing mount..

 

I'm going to talk to an ADS distributor this weekend and see about a set of coilovers for my truck.

 

Damn that looks good!!

Hammerdown!

LOL

I tell my buddy who is a welder that he has one of the best jobs! He gets to play with grinders all day

 

Hmm I'm debating a couple options for my front shocks.. Right now toytec has my boss shocks (trying to lower them because I had adjusted them too high and they rusted out and can't adjust lower now) they said they are so rusted they can't adjust them (they've been soaking in PB blaster for 3days now). My options are wait till Friday and see if they can adjust them then or 360$ for new shocks and rebuild. I've only had them for about a year. I was also contemplating just buying some OME shocks and selling the boss coil overs as is. I'm just scared that if I get my boss coil overs back and then a year passes by they will already be too rusty to adjust again. although i guess i won't need to adjust them really..
Do you think I'd be able to sell the boss coil overs as is??



help me!!
