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

I didn't read the part about the swapped 3.4 supercharger which makes it more of a deal but if I'm going to go older Toyota pickup then I want to go older. Pre 80's so you can really maximize the engines potential.

 

@betterbuckleup here's what mine look like.

 

Thanks for the pics!
Yea looks I have the right ones.
Just surprised me because I would have figured the U bolts to have a better fit around the axle tube. They do bend inward quite a bit when you tighten them up.

 

Ah well that might be an issue
Edit: anyone happen to know the part number for the caliper bracket bolts?

 

Ah i do lemme find it.

Edit:

here you go: 90119-12058

 

Have you gotten your grill yet? I ordered last year from @Tacovinyl and it’s been pushed back again until late February. They have a 10% fee to cancel the order.

 

Few light coats of rustoleum reformer after the wire wheel and then a top coat. A little spot touch up to be done and they'll be ready for hubs, bearings, seals, etc. Still a long way to go.

 

How’s the ride with the Rough Country lift? You got any pics? I’m trying to decide if I should just put Bilsteins on set at the middle notch or go with something a little bigger. I don’t want to go too big because my ‘98 has the 2.7.

 

Sooo… your doing the 4x4 swap now?

 

Yep, finally decided to stop procrastinating and just do it. Last thing I've wanted to do to the truck.

 

i may be interested in your prerunner spindles if the frame Miguel has is still with him when your done

 

If I don't decide to keep them . I thought you already had worked out the transit on that frame a long time ago (?)

 

HAHAH no. no. that ones still a big no clue because no one wants to set foot in cali for some reason.


the frame in utah is coming march 4thish. IF someone can get miguels frame half way to SLC the guys willing to meet half way so he can bring me both.

 

Nope. Consider yourself lucky that they’re even communicating with you. When you say last year….when exactly did you order? I’m trying not to be dickish about it with supply chain issues but almost 3 months for a piece of Chinese plastic, meanwhile they’re posting on Instagram all the boxes they’re shipping.

 

Found me a clock for my base taco. I set the time, are these 2 lil buttons ‘ : ‘ supposed to always be blinking, normal? Thx

 

I would definitely dispute their 10% cancelation fee especially if they can't provide the said item as promise. How can a company charge a fee for something that they don't even have in stock nor can't offer within a timely manner. You should ask them, as a consumer, can you request a discount each time they push the date back?

 

Agree 100%, I can request and dispute a lot of things. If they miss the date they gave me then I’ll see what happens. It’s ridiculous and I’ll never purchase from them again.

 

is this order from Wheelers by any chance?

 

No, sir. I ordered from Tacovinyl.

 

I ordered mine back in mid October
Support said the following, “Our 01-04 Pro Grilles should be in soon. They were supposed to come last week but there was an accident on the vessel carrying them, destroying all of the grilles. Crazy. That being said there are more on the way already and they're on the fastest shipping possible to us.”
