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

Dammit I wish Moab was closer to Mississippi haha. Once I get my truck lifted I would love to wheel out there

 

especially with my moab sticker. the inside of the truck is the challenge

 

bought a diff drop and smitty built receiver hitch shackle from a fellow member.

 

buddy of mine had them on a 5.0 explorer (awd) and had excellent traction all winter long in fresh powder and packed snow. also have a buddy with them on a s10 zr2 and same results. i questioned them at first but they surprised me

 

X 2 everything good is on the west coast

 

I want to make it out there some day

 

I know man.. Where I'm from we dont even have hills lmao

 

I'll argue the opposite! Fla. Miss. Ga. Louisianna are pretty much nothing but mud, Add in mud and slick wet rocks with tight trails to maneuver through & it's a whole nother challenge.. I'll find out when I take a trip to Moab.. Or out west in general.

 

might have to look into them

 

Removed that god forsaken clutch spring!

 

filled up last night. 20.1 mpg for my 2.4L... seems low, but then again that was all city driving, stopping for red lights damn near every block.

 

I have had the safari's on my truck for two years now, only got 11,000 mi on them and I have been dissapointed. Having major issues with cupping, they've taken alot of weight to balance like up to eight ounces, and if you spin two of them the whole tread wobbles back and forth like it is glued on wrong, not bad wheels either.

 

Started taking off rear tires to fix e brake and found that someone had cross threaded two lug nuts. Now have to replace to lug studs. From what I have read and checked on you tube shouldn't be that bad of a job. Last week took the bed liner out. Glad I did that, only two small rust holes. One more thing to add to the list.

 

I think you'll drastically change your opinoin once you come out west of the Rio Grande.

 

I don't know man, I'm not too big on the whole sand, rocks, and cacti thing they got goin on out that way. Plus the fact that California's laws are known to cause cancer.

 

Want mud? go up to washington/oregon.

 

Who the hell wants mud? Pain in the ass.

 

People who've never seen rocks and mountains?

I agree, hate having dirt fall in your eyes when working under the truck.

 

"Hey, Cleetus, you got yer ears on? Ahm stuck agin. Stucker'na prize sow in a swamp after a ternader. Come fetch me.
