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

Great for stop and go traffic. Put it in 2lo and just crawl till things pick up

 

Swing out all done mounted and ready to go wheeling.

 

Looks great Allen.

 

If you're on a tactile surface that's super steep where you don't need 4wd but need the torque of low range. The tactile surface gives plenty of traction but can cause drive train binding.

 

Exactly, I use 2-low quite often.

However, I don't need a twin stick to do this. With manual hubs and TC, I just stop, and put the TC lever into 4-low.

 

Places like Moab and other Desert SW locations where you're on a rock formation but need to make a tight turn.

 

You can also do sweet slow races and slow motion burnouts

 

But take note...

 

It's getting close to winter so I need to get my truck ready for snow. The boot on my driver side tie rod end was torn right open and my wheels didn't want to recover on rutty roads so I put a new one in.

 

That is the old tie rod, I don't have a picture of the new one but she drives great. I can drive with much more confidence.

New front tires in the next few days.

I also just brought new caliper and rotors that I'm going to install on my days off. I am really looking forward to it

 

Gray wire mod is tha shiznit. Can't believe I didn't do it sooner...

 

All I can say is that I've been out wheeling, on terrain requiring low gearing, had to make a tight turn, could feel the drivetrain binding up and would have liked a 2Lo option. Slush box nor crawl box, I have not.

 

I can make you eat your words with one word..












Morrison.

 

I would. Make some turns easier.

 

Would you drive all day on dry pavement in 4wd? A place like HITRT has miles and miles of 100% slickrock, inducing 20x more drive line bind than any street travel. A 20 min, or less, mod saves this and again it's a really common practice.

 

Drive line bind on HITRT killed this half track . Check out the tracks, they are completely worn away and the rear drive shaft fell out somewhere along the trail.



Fortunately for the driver it had a disk e-brake.

 

Just figured out that my hair cutter (super cool woman) drives a badass 2nd gen.

 

I gained a few extra horses today with this rad decal mod I ordered from CBoy808.

Tranny fluid swap and transfer case fluid swap, used Redline MT 75-90 in them both and it is noticeably smoother when shifting, especially in the T case.
