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

I am running kings up front. With 650 lbs springs to comp for the bumper and future winch.
I am going to clean up and paint the frame tomorrow, still need to get my new valve stacks for my rear kings and I'll get the bed back on next week.

 

That's pretty bad. I made my own supports and they have flexed the bed floor. I always have a ratchet strap keeping the bedside together now. It's annoying but I don't see any other option if one is to carry weight on the bed rails and drive on rough roads. I would recommend getting some supports for the front corner of the bed also. Mine and a few others have separated in the corners there.

Does your topper have storage in the side panels?

 

No storage there open. And I don plan on adding any more weight to the top.
I had an apt to get some reinforcement in the front but I ran out of time. But it's definitely on the to do list.
I didn't think to just keep a strap attached all the time. I'll give that a try.
I think I'm going to look into a suto flat bed conversion.

 

Flatbed is next on my list. Ive done as much as I can to try and salvage this bed and it still gets worse every year.

 

I’m hoping to order Alumas 66077 bed later this year if the winter guiding season goes well.Looks decent and seems affordable compared to everything else.

I feel like you two are probably gonna weld up your own though

 

You need a vacuum bag

 

That looks nice.

Definitely building my own. Hoping to not add any more weight than a factory bed but I'm not sure if thats feasible with steel.

 

What’s a sign of air in the master cylinder?

I was bleeding brakes and got all the way to the front passenger and nothing was coming out of the bleeder or the brake line.

 

could be a bad rubber line.

 

All stainless

 

ABS?

 

Abno

 

what have you done to the truck that youre now bleeding the brakes? new lines?

 

Welllllll


New calipers, new master, new booster.

Only the passenger side doesn’t have fluid coming out, no kinks in the hard line.

 

front one im guessing? i'd fill the res up and leave the bleeder open for 5-10 minutes and see if it starts dribbling out.

 

Alrighty

 

How hard should the brake pedal be to push down when the trucks off?

 

Said Ef it

big o can attempt it in the morning

 

It should firm up and not sink to the floor

 

Mine feels like it has something blocking it until you put enough pressure on it to go over whatever it is
