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

Yeah, that's why I changed it

 

I almost pulled the trigger on some Goodyear Authority's but I don't purposely off road much, mainly snow and sight seeing and these fit the bill and for $642 otd i'LL try them.

 

Changed out my rear shocks. Only a hour and a half job. Someone put the washers that hold the rubber pieces in backwards and did some damage to the rubber. The old springs where hard to compress but took a long ass time for it to extended out again.

 

Replacing my carrier bearing or drive shaft center support bearing tomorrow. Was reading the sticky on it. And have a quick question about it.

I don't have a bench vise and I thought if I can put the drive shaft back in the rear differential so I can torque the nut on the drive shaft down. Would it be OK to do it that way or should I use a bench vise to prevent damage to the differential?

 

I've changed mine 3-4-5 times, I lost count and NEVER took the shaft all the way out to TQ on a vice. Leave your truck 4hi/low in gear/park and put your purse down. I also never needed a puller to get the old unit off.

 

Your doing something wrong to go through that many.

 

Anybody know if I can still use my splined lugs with the spidertrax 1.25" wheel spacers? It looks like they come with short hex lugs but I think those are for mounting the spacer not the wheel.

 

Yes the lugs are for the spacers.

 

Design or developer? Cause it's extremely lucrative when you get into it.

 

A'ight cool. And what do you mean by purse?

 

So glad I got the opportunity to build my truck the summer before I started college. And I'm like you, I don't waste my money on all that stuff

 

Over 10 years and 100k of ownership. Lifted right after purchase and SC 80k ago. The old muffler that was right next to it didnt help. It takes 32 minutes to change while drinking a beer and if I remember to swap it for warranty can get 2-3 years out of them. That was also when I DD'd it. Now I'm lucky to put 2k on the truck in a year.

 

So you can use both hands to put some torque on the nut.

 

Design.

 

Still pretty lucrative but hard to get into. Good luck!

 

thx man. It talks about compatibility with acorn type lugs but nothing specifically about the splined ones.

also im not sure what hub centric and wheel centric means

 

Changed my rear glass out with an 01-04 style glass. I like these much better.




Now just need to change the quarter windows to get rid of the reflective glass.

 

Ah that's nice. Way better than the dumb double sliders. Expensive swap?

 

How much for rear window. Me like
