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

I think maybe only 2. But maybe it was three. I'll have to ask my dad I can't remember.

Edit. It was 2 coats.

Here is a comparison of them all.

And you can changed the texture with the amount of air pressure you are using through the gun. I'll link pics of the monstaliner on the bed and body in the OP of my build thread.

 

Wow. You must of really took your time lol. Better then hurrying I guess!

 

Small backstory. Bought my tacoma near years eve 2015. Had 214k on it and pretty sure the suspension was all original. Being a "car guy" I can't leave anything alone, so replacing suspension meant I need to buy a lift. Tonight I installed a toytec boss kit. Advertised as 3" lift but added about 5" holy hell was my stock suspension worn and sagging.

 

How does the boss kit ride? I know compares to your original it's probably filthy amazing but still..

 

I found it on ebay. It's not OEM, but so far it's good.

 

The bumper on my Tundra was sprayed with Raptor Liner. I think it was 2011 when I built the bumper. Regardless, its holding up very well and I have noticed minimal fade.

I would think a front bumper would be subject to some pretty harsh environments.

 

Tried out these Coopers in the sand! They might be better than the KM2s there.

 

Good looking yota

 

Thank you sir!

 

Sexy ass truck!

 

Leaps and bounds better than the oe crap. But at 215k, I would hope so. I'll give it a proper test drive after I get an alignment and my new tires thrown on.

 

I was really looking at that lift but I was told that they were basically just fancy red 5100s. So I'm pretty much just decided that Ome was the way to go..

 

The only way to know how different lifts ride, is to try them. Not for everybody I realize, so the next choice is to take the information provided and sift through it until your eyeballs bleed.
I went through 3 sets of OME coils and various spacers/lift enhancers before I found what I liked. And they all rode well for what they were at the various stages of my build, it's just what I ended up with after bumper and winch were installed. I did a write up on each set describing how they felt to me and there are some flex pics as well.

 

I'm getting the 883s and plan on getting bumpers and skids. For now I'm getting a progressive lift and eventually Allpro expedition springs.

 

Anyone have any experience with the ARB high performance compressor vs the twin compressor? How much faster does the twin air up tires?

 

Thought about CO2 instead?

 

We have a power tank currently for the crawler but I'd rather not have to carry it around or worry about refilling it. Plus it's about the same price.

 

I've just read that co2 is so much faster. And it should be alot cheaper then a compressor.

Arnt the arb ones like 500+ ?

 

I almost went with OME but decided to go with the toytec. Hopefully my decision will pay off in the long run.

 

What you want to look at is Duty Cycle and CFM rating. You want those as high as
possible.
