Finally doing it SHOCKING put 1000 mi on new shocks

Decided to detail the coil over while I could
Cause that's what I do

 

Got one done...onto the passenger side

 

Stock takeoffs from the rest of us

 

You detail vehicles Z? I would think it's a tough way to make a living

 

At 500k I plan to modify my truck from stock components to after market
Lift kit, big wheels & brakes, ls v8 motor with alison trany...
Maybe then I will gain your approval

 

Lol

 

Do what you like. You dont need my approval

 

Reassembled
Did a 20 mile test drive
Feels good

Will do next front shocks at 700k
Hahaha

 

front shocks, not the rears bud....I did the rears at 150k & 300k,
will do the rears again at 450k

btw - I still have the original rear factory brakes in place at 341k miles
have lots of life left

wonder how much crap Im going to get for not upgrading or rebuilding my rear brakes for so long?
lol....TW is a nutty place

 

Rears should only last about 150,000 miles, if they are adjusted every tire rotation (which none are)

Most rear shoes are changed due to axle seals blowing all over them.

 

my shocks are 10 years old and have 100k on them but they feel fine. I am on the fence about replacing them for the hell of it.

 

kinda feel the same way after changing mine....I probably had some more life left in the factory originals
go for 150k, then change em

btw- I realllllly like your signature line
f'in hilarious

 

You're kinda bringing it on yourself with your cockyness. Just saying.

 

Im proud of myself for driving the snot outta my taco & getting every penny's worth outta her
never crashed her
never been to a dealership or mechanic
always did what she was made for
& many of the factory parts have outlasted industry expectations
(my factory front brake pads/rotors lasted to 150k, the original serp belt didnt get changed until 160k, rear shocks 1st swaped at 150k,
factory front shocks to 340k, original rear brakes still going)
goes to show toyota R&D'd a great gen2 tacoma in the early 2000's

sorry if this comes off as cocky, not my intention
rather I want to scream to the world (tacomaworld in particular)
THIS IS THE BEST TRUCK EVER!

 

you should absolutely be proud of the truck. We're all proud for our toyotas. But it may be not what you're saying, but how you're saying it that it's coming off real cocky. Just my .02 that's all. I'll see myself out now.

 

Buh bye.

 

Exactly

 

Lil buddy
U rock

 

I'm on a mission to 500k
When I set my mind on something
I see it through

3 years to 500k according to my current driving habits

I have lots of confidence in my gen2 taco to cover the remaining 155k miles needed to achieve 500k

Will keep the forum posted as I push through
For the Supporters & haterade sippers alike
Lol
