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

Yeah, who knows. Like I said, I’d like to put one in my second gen, but I definitely want to hear how it does from someone who thrashes on their rig before I commit.

 

Well I scheduled to get one installed in a week and a half. I can report back after a few trips.

 

Hahaha.
Bothering you?

Go have a few beers, and relax.
Because my truck was on level concrete in my shop.

 

Safety is probably off too haha

 

I wish I could trust my parking brake to hold the truck, damn things looser than a pair of granny panties.

 

Nope, key was in the ignition.
Forum PoPo need to chill

How about that pistol mount!!!

 

Come to think of it, it wasn't set.
I was playing with two different mounting positions, and right of the e-brake handle was the other one.

Maybe I'll have a few beers!!

 

I will say I did enjoy the extra leg room on my 2nd gen. it had enough room to mount a holster on the drivers side of the console.

 

I thought about mounting it on the drivers side, but it would have been too hokey, and too high up, next to the Transfer Case Lever.

 

It hasn't killed me yet. I have control of my ADD actuator so I rarely drive with the front locked just putting power to the driver axle which has its own quirks with torque steer. I do think the ratcheting when off road is an advantage over a selectable. It allows you to turn easier.

 

I had a custom left hand holster made specifically for that application and it held in place when I flipped the truck.

 

I’ll have to decode when I’m sober

 

I just turn mine off when I wanna turn

 

You have arb ?

 

Yeah I have an ARB up front. Knock on wood, I haven't had the leak issues a lot of other people have. I have seen leaky ARB rears more than I have seen in the fronts. I considered an e locker front but couldn't justify the price tag at the time since I was dropping a ton of money on gears/front locker while saving a ton of money for what would be 2.5 weeks out to Moab and back. I don't regret the ARB.

 

I’m hoping I don’t regret dropping a wod of cash on a front locker. I doubt it

 

Ya so far so good with mine as well. It's been great to me thus far. No regrets or leaks. Hope it stays that way lol

You won't. A front locker can get you to some pretty stupid places that these trucks have no business being in with 33's

 

I don't need any persuading!!
I'm following this subject.

 

Not true...if you get a aftermarket all aluminum radiator with a lower temperature Thermostat, your transmission temperature will run cooler. I have one

 

A heavily loaded adventure rig will still benefit from an external trans cooler.
