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

I put those tires on there myself... debeading isn't a concern IMO... if it would be for a 15 it would be for a 16 and you should have beadlocks then.

 

Fair. I guess I'm thinking of the 35 on 15 setups where they're running skinnier rims. Got any pics of the new setup?

 

I feel like 35's on most 15 and 16's would be hard to debead on a 8" rim. I have run it on 7.5" and really flexed the sidewalls and it's never debeaded. I think it's pretty visible in those recent pics.

 

I've seen guys do it, but they're usually hammering down pretty good and bouncing which never leads to anything good

 

Yeah I am snapping a CV before that happens lol.

 

Tundra brake swap with Land Cruiser pads covered in build thread post #386. Highly recommended.

Tundra vs Tacoma

 

Changed spark plugs in 04 dbl cab 4x4. 250,000. Still original wires and coil packs. Going to change carrier bearing next or shocks.

 

Finally installed sub/platform. I posted in the show us your sub box thread but thought you guys might like it. Also cleaned the seatbelts with woolite and now they retract as they should.

 

I'd like the see a SxS comparison of the land cruiser pads vs the regular 13WL pads

 

Looks clean

 

Do these work on all the Camburg UCAs that came with uniballs?

 

Got these lp4/lp6’s installed as well as my new switch pro/mount

 

Your frame height looks perfect for your setup. 37's?

 

Yes! Sits at about 20-21” frame height

 

Nothing special this month - freshened up one of the 12v circuits a bit. Left the top one alone, but the bottom two weren’t working (was actually a fuse) but decided to replace them anyways.

Also installed a Laird BB450 no ground plane antenna, and built a bed drawer system for camping I really like.

 

I ran 10psi on my 35x12.5r15 all the time and romped on them good that way never threw a bead. Went as low as 8 in snow. 8" wheel on a 12.5" wide tire would be hard to do.

Certainly not impossible though.

 

Joined the ball chiller club today. Used a fleabay 4runner duct and brand new oem vent. I think I am $80 all in?

 

What did you use to cut the hole? Dremel?

 

Drilled a hole first, then carbide bit on dremel to widen it, cut off wheel on dremel for straight lines and then adjust with a sharp knife like @unstpible mentioned in this thread here:
