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

Whose all running Alcan springs? How much weight did you say you carry? How do they flex?

 

Whats the info on the other 2 PM me if you're willing to ship lol

 

I have them,

I told them I wanted +200# (whatever that means) with 3 inches of lift.

I had 400# of sand and didnt lose any noticeable height.






Compared to stock of that means anything

 

oh haha well, now we are on the same page. haha i was like..wth is he talking about??? haha

I did/do. Very flexy. Weight.well..a lot. But you can custom order them to what you want.

Just don't expect a pack that is made to hole 300lbs to ride smooth with an empty bed.

 

Installed a brake proportioning valve in the center console

 

I like it. But i bet running all the line to there wasn't fun haha

 

Actually went faster than expected, brand new hard lines from Low Range off-road so they bend easy by hand, and they are like $7 each so I didn't care if I bent it wrong. But it's just hand tight, no fluid or anything yet, so we'll see if it actually works lol

 

Do they ride rough with 200 lbs? Just trying to figure out if what they think is best is what we think is best.

I called today to get a quote and a little more info on them. I need to actually weigh my truck. I don't often remove things from it. Wildernest roughly 250, Jerry can and Rack 100, tools 75, recovery gear 50, armor 100. So I'm guessing close to 600lbs all the time. Then add camp gear and water probably another 100. No wonder my truck can't make it over the mountains haha

Ive owned my taco for a year now! This is when I first lifted in and rocked a canopy for a bit

 

It rides kinda rough but livable.

I'm pretty sure the first time I talked to them they said I should do +500# sooo

 

i did some engine work on my 3rz, only issue is i still have a miss fire on cyl.3 after all the work that had been done and money spent i come to find out the shop i took it to did not look at my pistons for any issues, so my head and up has been resurfaced but my pistons were never touched

 

What f you use the smaller 199mm calipers with offset?

 

Represent'n Arizona! Added a sticker.

 

I am curious about this comment. You do realize the lower mount arm is movable right? IIRC, loosing the inboard mount bolt on the lower arm, will allow the arm will drop by 1/2" or more.

I'm on my 2nd set. This set was custom, purchased directly from them.

I asked for 2 things, lift and load capacity. I asked for 2.5" of lift at full load. And 500# carrying capacity. Full load for me is probably very similar to what you carry. For reference, fully loaded I am right at 5800 lbs.

Fully loaded the ride is sweet and flexes quite well. I never run empty bed.

 

That would possibly work for the height but the width wouldn't clear other components to fit in the upper slot. Gonna pick up the other aforementioned alternator and install it since it's the correct one

 

Not likely. Taco calipers barely clear as it is.

 

Threw code po306. Replaced sparkplugs and wires.

 

Why'd you remove the manifold to do plugs/wires?

 

Clean and check fuel injectors
