Just bought 96 tacoma what now?

Where is pine specifically?

Our trip from Friday (pic thread):

Your first mod needs to be some rock sliders, then you need to come wheeling with us

As long as it has spent its whole life here it will be fine, we don't use salts so really no opportunity for frame rust. I believe the deadline is over for the 96 any way.

 

Pine is north of mtn home up by Anderson lake.

Its a little rusty but all surface stuff nothing looks too bad for being 16 years old.

I've got a bunch of mods I need to do I'll add sliders to the list. I'll buy all my parts over the next couple months. Then I need to find a good shop to install everything.

I took the disc golf baskets up to bogus and set up the course today with my truck it's a tank in four low!

 

Heres a list of stuff I need if you hear of anything in the area over the next month or so.

3 inch suspension lift kit
4.88 gears
Locker
Sliders
Bumpers
To start with anyways

 

Where were you using 4lo at up at bogus? Driving around placing baskets? Playing on the trails around the area? And yes, 4lo is god gear and is amazing with these trucks.

IMO, put sliders above all that haha. Most important armor you can get. One slam without them and you have bad body damage. As far as the lift, 4" is too much for the IFS, 3" is really all you want/need. good luck finding good deals on used parts, i look all the time and nothing good ever comes up. Best i have seen is a shitty block spacer lift and a roll bar. For having a such a large number of tacos the modding community seems to be nonexistent.

Lift and locker and bumpers you can all do yourself if you have a garage and some tools. I wouldn't do gears on my own, thats a job that actually takes some knowledge. Unless you are good at welding i would have those welded on becuase they are an important item and you don't want shit welds cracking or breaking on you.

 

Please, Please never go anywhere near your gears with a welder

 

haha I was talking about the sliders being welded on, not the diff. Permanent locked rear though??

 

Nice truck, now just make it your own my modding it as you see fit. It appears there are few of us around Nampa/Boise.

 

....and where did you come from lol? Where are you at?

 

Nampa

 

and where have you been all this time haha! Post more

Ya placing baskets had to drive up a couple runs. Screw carrying them by hand it would have took forever. Toyota saved the day had 9 8' baskets in it somehow. Forgot to take a pic.

 

X2

 

I am going to have to go up there in the next few weeks with the gf and "inspect" your basket placing handy work.

 

It's been done... I mean why not if it's strictly a trail rig that only has to go straight?
