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

Alignment is good n straight, dealt with it this long not gonna f with toe. If my hands are 10 n 2 with wheel straight its at more 9 n 1 if driving straight, maybe a touch more... So u say it's the single bottom bolt that the head is on the other side in this pic?

 

I always love before and afters

 

I roof racked.....

 

The truck went with me to Poland for a year, thats the European plate above the winch fairlead, with my Maryland tag off to the side.

 

couldn't get this birch to completely separate. Got it to come loose but those two studs with a nut on bottom wouldnt come out, got nut off, the other two bolts/nuts out, and both bolts on the upper and low splined part. Wtf it is like those studs need to pound out!

Anyone done this? Do those stud pound up n out? Fuck it I may just pop steering wheel it self off lol

 

Not when everyone else had Hilux's! But it was a cool experience

 

ended up driving the tacoma today. usually drive the silverado to church on sundays. went across town and while sitting at a traffic light this happened in the chevy guess ill be buying a new tensioner and belt

 

Who helped you push it out

Looking good.

 

The big question! Does it run?

 

Poland ftw why were you there?

 

When I changed out my rack the other weekend, all I had to do was remove the two bots to separate. I believe the two pins are pressed in with the nut as a lock. You may need to loosen or remove the steering rack to do what you want...

 

Lol, just giving u crap brotha, glad u got it done

 

Ya I guess I was over thinking, another member set me straight lol. Loosen top and bottom bolts that clamp the splines and push up as one piece!! I'll give it another shot tomorrow after work.

 

Anyone have advise for proper wheel spacers?
I have trail teams on 265/75 duratracs that rub on the frame when I turn right. Should 1.25" do the trick? Any suggestions for reputable brands?

 

I ran 1.5" spidertrax when I had trail teams

 

If you push it down a hill

 

Ill take a look. Thanks!

Nope no lift. I think its just the side wall tread on the tires that are rubbing it. I've trimmed a bit with a razor, but I even if i were to clean it up flush i still think it'd be too close.

 

1.25" should do the trick. I am running 1.5" and it got rid of my frame rub. Spidertrax have worked great for me so far!

 

It was a program for my school, almost like a study abroad. I was in Germany and Poland. Although I did see 160mph on the Autobahn, just not in this truck

 

Nice! I would love to do something like thAt. My mom was born in Kraków and my dad in kolbushowa
