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

Threw the canopy back on

 

LT:

Need new UCAs
LCAs
Steering extensions
Limit straps
Tundra modified cv axles
And most expensive 2.5x8 coil overs

Then extras:

Cam tab gussets
Spindle gussets
Coil bucket gussets
Engine cage
Secondary hoops
Secondary shocks


That's sorta a list for the front.

So...about 8k or so give or take..

 

Thanks for the list (i was to lazy to type it up)
don't forget to add, the possibility of adding a triple bypass shocks on the front (or is that 2nd gen only?)

 

Again I reiterate... What you NEED to do to have a decent LT setup is not going to run you 8k. Not everyone runs secondary shocks and full cage.

I'm not saying that everyone should go LT. I'm just saying for me personally, I would save up and do it the first time. I've heard of too many people who went mid travel and then decided they want more, spent way more money than they had to.

 

I hit a spike last night, he didn't make it tho!

 

That's what I meant by secondaries.

For the basic kit, the top half of my list, about 4-5k depending on kit and shock choice.

 

Sounds about right for the top of the line kit and shocks. MCM offers a kit for $2600, including ADS coilovers, brake lines, and steering extensions. I figure an extra grand in add-ons like glass, bumps, and straps

 

it may seem expensive. but if u LT the front then u have to LT the rear. with mid travel the rear is a lot cheaper and In most cases more efficient for bed storage. And not everyone wants to run fiberglass and to be and extra 7 inches wider.

Exactly. mid travel isn't as expensive but could be made better with stock length LCAs but not as much as LT

 

Coilovers are extra 600 for ADS. Also axles are included.

And I forgot about glass! Damn and bumps.

So no..still 4-5k

 

Kit is 2200... +600 puts it at 2800. And I'm 2wd so I don't have to worry about CV's.

MAYBE.... 4k at the most. For ME. Everyone's different, everyone has different needs and wants.

 

Ah yes. For a prerunner tis cheaper.

I'd still put it at 4k. Better to budget high cause everything ALWAYS cost more then the initial costs.

And plus..once you LT...then you just start breaking stuff haha

 

exactly. for me I like the way my truck corners and with mid travel it would still corner pretty well. I imagine it would not corner as well with LT

 

Definitely won't corner as well. And will lean on takeoff and stopping, etc... not the ideal situation for a street car. But then again... its not a street car. Haha

 

What???

Please explain your logic...cause..LT makes you wider..ie, more stable..and is designed to go fast on very rough roads...including corners...

 

Im not talking about offroad. seems like it wouldn't handle as well being a bit higher up and with no sway bar

 

Ride height can be up to you..adjustable coil overs man..

And who still uses their sway bar anyways

 

true, and I still have mine on. I drive roads with corners a lot of the time and I like to be able to take them fast. I had it off at one time but I put it back on to tow a trailer.

 

A lil bedside work, finish up tomorrow.

 

Thanks for the input, i drilled a hole through the top and bottom so I'll see how long that lasts

 

INDEED IT IS. hahaha i was just messin around putting that there. hoping and wishing i had a mount for it.
