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

Meh, never know it's worth checking into tho' & wont cost a dime for that anyway, if its worth it , they're yours...

 

they are so sexy

I dig'm too, especially with those Baka claws on there! I want 35's now

 

You going to Moab this year? Tyler (Pelfreybilt) is going, you might talk him into bringing them if he has room.

 

yea lemme know OMD

they come with LOTS of hassle..haha

 

Old wagoneers came with those type 15" wheels. They do look awesome! I tried on a set of wheels just like those when I was gonna buy a set from Jeep Masters here in austin. They looked sick but required atleast a 1/4" spacer to clear the caliper. At the time I didn't think I would want spacers but now I can't wait to get a set of spacers and go back and buy a set of those old wagoneer wheels.

Doug, if monte doesn't want them let me know your price and price to ship and maybe I'll buy them

 

Put some bling on last night, extended rear brake line. Anyone else have a problem with theirs rubbing through? A local said his rubbed through, but i'm not sure where or on what. Mine looks like it should be fine, but I haven't flexed the rear end with it yet. And yes, the little hard line junction thing is held on by zip ties. Rusty bolts ftl.

 

I saw some mention of running (Porsche?) 930 boots not too long ago...

I think from these guys:
www.offroad-engineering.com/930cvboots.html

My CVJ remans outer boots are trashed and torn and I need to replace them before long. Will the linked units fit our axles?

 

Just curious but does it make any difference which way the bilsteins are mounted (boot up or down)?

 

Nope. Most do boots down so you're not getting debris built up on the seal.

 

Ordered my RTT last night!!

 

Boots are worse than no boots.

 

Depends if you drive through mud holes and crap. I avoid them at all costs, and prefer the boots so that the shafts don't get sandblasted with salt and all the other crap they put on the roads here.

 

Yea they are sweet.

but your an 04 and you have bigger calipers then me..so i bet id be okay as mine are meant to have a 15'' rim...........not that it matters as i run 1.5'' spacers anyways haha

 

Hmm, not sure... Monte should know as he's mentioned them before...

Did your CVJ axles come with the high angle boots or just the normal boots? I was thinking about getting a set, but now this worries me since you said that... Haha

 

930 boots from the 80s 911 porches is what ya want.

like dis : http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/x,carcode,1262629,parttype,2284

or this: http://www.offroadsolutions.com/products/replacement-cv-boot/

the one i the link you quoted has just as many if not more fins as stock..you want less fins. Less fins means they won't touch as much.

 

I'll keep this in mind when I do my CV axles. My boots are slinging grease allover the place. Would it be worth doing this instead of new Toyota boots and then doing the boot slide mod with new Toyota boots?

 

Yea id think so. Is a PITA though as you have to disassemble the whole CV. But its what all the LT guys do to their Tundra CVs.

 

OK... I am prepared to be flamed
What's the deal with one shock in front/one shock behind?

 

Thats how all OEM setups are...haha

But the idea is to help with axle warp.

 

yeah, that's what i meant... the purpose behind it
thanks
