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

are you running/gonna run spacers? or have good bs?

 

Yeah, they're a sweet size tire. Work out great after taking the time to properly clearnace them.


And speaking about 295s, have a new set of kooks en route, they'll be going on with the Ray 10s later this week.

 

I'm assuming you had to regear or nah

 

I ran the 295 on stock gears for quite a while. It got me by, but that was about it. Was fighting them all the time, especially off road.

Currently running 4.88 gears and couldn't be happier with my selection.

 

I'm just gonna try to find a used set of 285s or 33s, I can't afford to regear, spent to much on my truck this summer, maybe next

 

Probably gonna end up getting 1.5 in spacers

 

Same I have dropped a lot and I'm about to have to get new cvs and ball joints

 

I have to fix my rear axle seals, other than that, front Kings, front bumper, welding of said bumper, Alcan springs and shocks.... Soo 2500$ in the last 6 or so, that's almost as much as I made all of last year. Ha

 

Yeah I know the feeling , parts add up after awhile but it's worth it lol

 

Are the rack doctors pretty good quality?? They look awesome! And lifetime guarantee..

 

I'm pretty sure 295 KO2's are my next tire and the size due to you Brett lol. I want a little more beef and cushion on the trail. Probably run them with .75 Bora's

 

I plan on getting these again I'm on 31's but will have to wait till I need new tires before I replace them. So I got to look like I missed leg day with a 3"inch lift

 

So you've had 295 KO's I assume? I'm curious the true weight difference between those and my 285 coopers...these coopers are a pretty heavy tire.

 

No I have 265 75r16 10 ply though and they weigh 52-55 pounds if I remember right without the rim. Im on stock rims

 

Checked the clearance with my passenger side battery in the upright position. It cleared the hood, but butted up against my windshield fluid hose and whatever that thing is on the upper firewall, passenger side. So I kept the battery on it's side. I also made a bracket and mounted the solenoid for the dual battery setup today.. and then proceeded to clean the MAF, IAC, and TB. The only problem I had was stripping one of the brass screws on the IAC so I had to take the whole airbox out.

Tomorrow will be cables for the dual battery, and a new PCV valve. Road trip Tuesday! Pictures of dual battery setup tomorrow.

 

Any reason I couldn't run these http://eastcoastgearsupply.com/i-133572-toyota-lower-shock-mount.html on my 8.4" axle I'm needing new shock mounts .

 

Theyl work on pretty much any axle.

 

Looks good dude! Now get to cutting!

 

Thanks, Mike!

Just waiting on my spacers, but I might start right away. I have a trip coming up soon, so all of this has to be done anyway, which makes for good motivation. I'll be hitting you and @Robmonster117 up for pointers for sure!

I also got my 5.29s delivered this weekend! Lots to do...

 

I pretty much posted this way back in the day on the LegacyGT forum I frequented. Moreso in a question form than statement but nonetheless I got lambasted.
