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

Found these for $5 at a yard sale!
Look new on the inside, a little sanding and paint and they will be nice cans.

 

i dont know if they will sell them online or not but a place near me called smith and edwards sells these on a regular bases but not that cheap... good find!!!!

Yes a $50 shirt will always be better than Walmart.

 

Well, they don't sell this at Walmart either....

 

They do, you've been looking in the wrong section

Mf'er...im jelly

 

Aww yiss Ive never been so excited to take a sawzall to my truck

 

Picked up my rock sliders today

 

It's funny, because that is by far the most expensive lt front kit out there for our trucks. And yet...it pulls the same as any other Kit.....

 

Dreamt about installing the pile of front end upgrades I have collected.

 

Pretty sure it won't ever bend or break either. Like ever. Under any condition. Upper and lower uni balls, heimed steering. I'm happy with it. I had the money and bought what I thought the best at the time. But ok.

 

Haha. Yea right. Everything breaks. Just move the weak point is all.

It was a stab at the fact you say cheaper things are just as good...yet..you bought the most expensive because you thought it was better.

That's all.

Just pointing out the hypocritical logic you had.

But yea. Whatever.

 

whats not perfect about it that you dont like?

 

COOLEST STORE EVER!!! I use to live in Kaysville/Layton so we went there all the time lol. Especially for the classic candies they had.



Oh and, painted

 

Why I said "at times" in my op because I don't always buy cheaper. Obviously cheaper isn't 100% better in every situation. I think being an informed buyer is the best thing we all can do and most of us try our best to do that. Seems to me, many people get caught up in having to have everything name brand when in many cases the "knock off" will work just as well. I understand where you are coming from tho.

 

I have another question for all of you, sorry. I know it's probably just personal opinion but, I just ordered a set of Alcan Lea springs with 3 inches of lift, I was just wondering if I should buy longer than stock shackles or just use the stock.

I don't know what the pros and cons would be of either option.

Picture for attention I guess.

 

There's no reason to use anything other than stock shackles. If fact, increasing shackle length without increasing leaf length results in many negative attributes.
