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

lol Thanks, man

That it does.... lol But I am not turning the Terc into a crawler. I love it for what it is. It's getting fuel injected, painted and tinted windows with some of the truck money.... and maybe some nice speakers.

You're probably right. Hopefully going to make it to Moab anyway, though... Just hoping around passenger seats, and such. haha

 

Ha! Jesus..haha

you could yea. Get more droop too but the billies would be limiting you

But worth it once you get longer shocks or relocation and all.

 

This

 

Mark says I needn't worry about it. That I will never flex it out this much on the trail.

He does kno my temperment. He may be right.

 

You could weld a tie down on the bracket or just bolt the original over the bracket, similar to how it's done with a bed extender.

 

Possible i guess..but might not be. Overall less body roll in a hole fill section or something. But I feel like we will push those limits more and more anyways haha

He got 1'' Lift shackles from TG i believe..pretty much the say as the Toytech ones.

shackles are great. Only real downside is they tend to wear out the leafs faster a bit.

 

Thats what I told him but he just shook his head.

The shackles are the Toytec 1" lift one. Purchased from Wheelers. These work for me because I already had poly upper and lower bushings.

 

Cool that's what I thought. I want to add them but I'm going to wait to see how my stance is when I install a new bumper. I also don't want them to make my taco lean more noticeable...lol. Not sure how to fix that issue seeing as how I have brand new leaf packs already...

 

OK, I received my new clutch parts for my '96 4x4. How tough of a job is this gonna be?

Should I replace the rear main seal while I'm in there (even if it isn't leaking) ?

 

Dakars though don't compensate for taco lean im pretty sure. They aren't side dependent i THINK. not positive..if they are, might wanna check and see if you have them backwards if the lean is real bad.

 

I didn't see any side designated on the pair I installed but my shit is leaning nicely. About 1-2". I have the trim packer on the OME strut but I might add the top plate as well.

 

That new tire carrier will compensate for that trust me

 

Dakars are designated for each side.

 

On the DAKARS one leaf should have a "+" symbol. That means it has slightly more arch to compensate. That leaf pack should go on the driver side to compensate for the lean. If your leaning 1-2" I would suspect its on the wrong side. I have about a .5" lean even with the leaves on the correct sides. I need to install my 1/4" top plate spacer on the driver coil.

The info about the DAKARS is from ARB USA. Toytec gave me half assed/ different answers. So I called the source and they were definent on their answers

 

↑↑↑↑THIS↑↑↑↑↑↑

 

Well there ya go. Dakars are side sensitive, so Ferny, i bet yours are backwards.

 

Yeah I knew they're side specific but mine are in the right order. Maybe I'll just have to flex the shit out of the passenger side again to break it in more...

 

FINALLY finished mounting my smaller sub box. I switched to this 10" sealed Groundshaker box from a much larger 12" ported box. It ain't pretty, but it's functional.

 

Replaced my headlights w/ a new set of Silver Star Ultras and bought an e locker guard

 

Where did you buy the e-locker guard?
