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

Got about 6" of snow in philly

 

How are they for other drivers on low beam? Most find that they blind oncoming vehicles! My OPT7's certainly did, until I did the Glare Guard mod to them. Its a bit of a hack, but it works, so....

 

In the far West suburbs of Chicago we are expecting highs in the 50s and sunny today followed by 8" of snow tonight and into tomorrow... Gotta love the Midwest weather.

 

lol yea its so temperamental its crazy.

 

Damn... is that how much they're going for? I had my A340E listed for $350 and I paid $450 for my A340F complete with transfer case.

 

What's that?

What's that about 5100's and mall crawlers?



Though I am definitely guilty of ballin on a budget.

Wondering this as well. I was thinking of going this route instead of retrofitting eventually because of the fact that retrofits don't do well in rigs that get beat on.

 

see above

 

You would think a company would come up with a solution that wouldn't need a hack mod to fix it.

 

if you was making a mall crawler would you buy billies or one of the big brands. its like those people who buy drop bracket lifts and try to go through what we do. im guilty of the budget thing as well. but i did a real lift. no lift blocks or spacers. and now i wish i saved the money for this LT setup im looking at.

 

The inverse of that though is there are tons of people on here who buy the big brands and never fully use them to their full potential. That being said Brett's favorite combo of 5100's and Eibach 625's is still somehow surviving my abuse.

 

yea my toytec 5100's with eibach 600lbs are great for highways but not so good on washboard gravel or these dirt roads im on.

 

So apparently they do exist without a hack mod. Would be interested to give these guys a shot.

yeah I was going to say they talk about it in the thread. Some folks are actually doing it now.

 

I’ve seen some really pretty Jeeps around town with very expensive suspension setups that have never left pavement.

There’s also plenty of guys that want to hit some trails but can’t afford the nice setups, or have to budget for them, and settle for Bilsteins.

 

yea nothing wrong with settling with them. as of jeeps i see loads of them around Purdue college. either with mall crawler lifts or stock with bigger rims and loads of lights.

 

Same..... Lol

 

I was on team 5100/ebiach. Did fine...till they had no oil left and the springs wouldn't hold up my truck as much.

Then long travel.

worth it.

 

yea, im looking at the same kit you got monte and im surprised at the price difference and build quality. im probably going to get the same coils as you 600lbs x 18 inches i do believe?
my exact reaction when i saw the price of the MCM Fab kit lol
