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

Removed the spacer lift and installing the OME w/881's tomorrow.

 

i didnt know you had a spacer lift....

 

Dude are you serious? Everyone knows half-assers make it nowhere in life...To each their own though!

 

x2....that and your prolly gonna loose the wheel when your going down the road and the pully breaks from the extra weight

 

Installed my new bedside decals from Sockmonkey!

After:


Pretty stoked!

 

i recently heard about a kid who decided to fill his tube bumper with cement to make his front end feel more solid...

he got into a car accident that wasn't his fault, but with the cement in the bumper, he did so much damage to the other car, and they convinced a court that putting the cement was malicious intent, that he got legally screwed and ended up losing the truck and essentially getting the other party a brand new upgraded car...

if that loaded spare doesn't send your rear end sliding past your front end, hopefully it stays on your truck and not through the windshield of an innocent bystander when you do get into an accident or a slide... there was a pickup truck in my area that was driving along Hwy 5 at full speed when his spare broke loose from under the truck, bounced over the center divide and into the windshield of a car on the other side... poor driver died on impact as the tire went through the glass and straight into her neck...

and THAT was a regular tire... i can just imagine what a cement filled tire would do...

as some would say, that's a might redneck idea you got there...

 

Im sure someone could say that any aftermarket bumper is malicious intent^. i dont see the problem with the few xtra pounds on the back end. However the spare tire winches are known to fall off to begin with.

 

yeah i see what your saying i am going to put four straps on it so it will be safe. thanks for looking at the post.

 

it's always better to look at some things as "worst case scenario"

better safe than sorry...

 

yep thanks man

 

I would be scared, that in an accident that it might go into the underside
of the truck and damage suspension, brake lines or something under there,
maybe strap it in the bed instead?

 

Made a custom grill for my tacoma, not completely finished yet in this picture as you can tell but will post a better one tomorrow!

 

Nice! I did mine but didn't finish it very nice, i cracked the plastic,
and left the nubs unsanded, but i just spray painted and put it back on

 

or you could always get a small spacer lift up front to level the truck out.

 

Ordered Hankook Dynopro's in 265/70/17!

 

No my cv angel is bad as it is.

 

do you have a diff drop?

 

OME kit installed, getting aligned now.

 

I just ordered EBC Ultimax rotors and greenstuff pads for my Taco!
