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

That's what I tell people when I tell them that I like when it starts to get "cold" here in Florida.

Plus, sweating for no other reason than it being hot & humid sucks.

 

All my family lives in Florida and I absolutely laugh my ass off when they come to visit because they cannot deal with weather below 75F but I seriously don't know how they can stand both hot and humid in the summer. The humidity takes away my drive to anything besides stand in front of an air conditioner.

 

Night and day dude!!!

 

As a kid, I lived in Michigan and Rhode Island. Loved the winters, but that was as a kid. I'm sure as an adult, I would have a different take on it.

Most of my life has been in CA (Central Valley) where it would get into 100+ degrees in the summer. That dry, scorching heat was brutal. Different heat than the hot & humid of Florida. Both can be awful.

 

Didn't do anything important with ole faithful, just took her on a small muddin' adventure. Fuckin' love this truck.

 

Wheres the mud?

 

Alright guys....lets talk racks? Steering racks of course. Those who have changed them and have had no issues. Where did you go? And those who have changed them and had problems, where did you go so i can steer clear

TIA gents

 

A small area off of Hwy 50 near Cameron Park. Was going to hit PC this past weekend with a buddy but figured with the first rains of the year, that place would be poppin' with folks trying to get their trucks wet.

 

Worked on the front end and finally got her leveled out. Replaced struts with 5100s, stock shocks at 2.5. Replaced swaybar links, put on new rotors and new pads. Had to do minor refurb on brake pistons, a couple were frozen and wouldn't press in enough for new pads. I really like how it's sitting now.

 

My rack doctor started leaking after a year.

 

oh shoot, didn't realize you are local. lets go play one of these days! Check the norcal thread. a bunch of shenanigans going on in that thread all the time

That PC mud is noting but silk. It will destroy everything!! Stay away!! far far away!! lol

That frame!!

Good to know. Bummer because they were the first that popped in my head

 

Looks awesome! Someone could eat a pizza off of that clean frame.

 

Hell yeah man keep me in the loop next time you guys go out! You are right on the PC mud..... every time we go out there I have to dedicate a full Saturday to cleaning my rig. Nooooooooooo thanks. lol

 

haha, yup. 6 hours of cleaning that shit off.

 

Major flashbacks after seeing these pics. lol Soooo fun in the moment, then as I am leaving I start thinking "my god there goes my weekend". Love your rig too, eventually Ill be blacking out the trim pieces and adding some new rubber shoes/lift on mine.

 

Could anyone by chance tell me what kind of springs these are? These are the only numbers I can find.

 

Dorman.

Just bought a set of Cooper At/3's for $366 shipped (after the -$70 rebate) from discount tires to go with the 4runner 5-stars I picked up
