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

does it ride better? doesnt seem like that would improve the ride

 

triangulating shocks hampers the shock's ability to dampen the leaf pack, but allows for a lot more flex


looks shmexy

 

correct, doesn't help for road going abilities or jumping since the shock is at an angle it loses damping properties. BUT..because its at an angle he gets more travel out of the 12'' stroke then he would if it was perpendicular to the axle. So he gets close to the same amount of travel as a 14'' shock(give or take) but on a 12..

and trust me..he doesn't care about road handling or jumping..haha

 

haha Considering both my old shocks were blown and my expos were way to stiff for having just a spare tire in my hacked up bed, I'd say yes, the ride is MUCH better.

It is now a lot softer due to one leaf taken out of the 64" chevies and a bit more stable due to the stiffer (and not blown lol) shocks.

 

ahhaha yea i didnt even look at the sig pic...it all makes sense now

 

lmao had a good laugh with that one...first time i seen it

 

These are also true.... All I know is that it is better now than it was before! haha But yeah.... this thing is not built for comfort or jumping.

 

If I could weld, I'd probably triangulate mine...

 

baaahahahaah

That put some odd images in my head.....

 

Yea that's the same one I have and if you don't plan to get a toolbox then just mount it on the back wall of the bed..

 

I am aware of the price and warranty's provided by aftermarket suppliers but I am unsure whether the shops bothered to use OEM or not. Based on the prices im and rates of labor im sure they used "OEM" or say they did but I do not know for sure.

 

+1!

 

Well AllPro finally got their UCA's back from powdercoating today, so ill be getting them hopefully by saturday! Cant wait to get em installed an test em along with the fox's

 

Decided to go ahead and get some 33x10.50x15. I'm very happy with the results.

This is where I mounted mine. It's solid and out of the way. Going to put wing nuts on it like someone recommend on here.

 

you're the second person i've seen with it the opposite way i have it. I have the base of the jack closer to the tail light. Two 3/16 brackets about 2.5 ft. apartwith right angles at each end and whatever bolt fits through the holes in the jack body to secure it. and the thing never budges.

I'd go take a pic, but it's dark and about 25* out...

 

You make that?
