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

There not stock. Come on dude you should know

 

My 95 LX has the chrome strip "flares".

 

Comes with a new Aisin water pump w/ oem style gasket , misimoto belt, Aisin belt tensioner, NSK and Koyo idler and tensioner pulleys, and Aisin tensioner. This is the exact stuff you'd get from the dealer just a lot cheaper. Just make sure you check to see if your water pump has the bypass outlet on the tstat housing.

 

Well if they aren't, they're awesome and none of you have them

 

I'm pretty sure those are Bushwackers. I put the same on mine looks like yours.
Mine came with the itty bitty chrome "flare" originally.

Haha. I like mine. Bought them off a guy who had a 98

 

This is really convincing.

 

Ordering this. Can't beat $192 shipped

 

I still have the ones off bellassaiw10s truck just sitting at my house

 

If you arent going to use them sell them. Those are pretty pricey.

 

Except when they all go out in 30,000 miles. If stock has lasted this long why not replace it with OEM

 

Cb choices, 520XL Uniden vs. Cobra 19 DX?

Saw the 505 XL too but it lacks the RF Gain. Is that a big deal? I see the Cobra also has squelch and RF combined? I posted in another thread but this thread gets a ton of traffic.

 

The flares kind of look like the ones on mine except color matched.

 

I know but I'll just keep them

It says OE but it's for Kaylan's dad and that's the brand he wants

 

520xl hands down.

Every trip i go on, everyone that has a 520xlpro sounds great, always has a stronger signal then other radios, works the best.

 

Take it off for Moab. Put all the bolts and stuff in a ziplock, tape it to the sway bar, and throw it in a corner of the garage. As others have said, you really have to have good suspension to run all the time without it. With it on and adding Eibachs, the ride was pretty stiff. Sometimes almost felt like I was going roll going around corners, which is counter intuitive. After I took it off, the ride really smoothed out and feels pretty stable. Don't drive aggressively.

My '97 didn't. I was thinking about maybe adding some Bushwhackers but I got cheap before pulling the trigger. Definitely looks better with no flares as opposed to the little chrome ones.

The deck plate mod is only for the 3.4L V6's. It'll be a waste of time and money for yours.

 

Nothing yet but found this....she finally gave way

 

I thought I remembered someone saying this. They def don't look pretty but it seems like they get the job done better than the rest and that's what I want.

 

I'm considering trying one. I have to ask peeps to repeat themselves several times on the Cobra I installed.

 

Sounds like Monte
