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

Most bumpers stock out. Winches aren't small.

 

So new tire for you?

 

I'm just gonna buy a new set, sadly. Don't know what kind yet but I don't feel like I can go 33" yet. Which sucks, a bunch.

 

Why can't you fit 33s? I thought you were lifted?

 

My fronts only maybe barely like 1/2" over stock, maybe, at least I think. I'd just crank my coil overs up but I haven't bought ucas yet and if I'm gonna drop the money on 33s I wanna be sure everything is lined up so the wear good.


And I might get a good price on some brand new, studded 31's, which I would only run for the winter hopefully giving my enough to get ready for 33's.

 

If I was you, and you only blew one tire, id just get a used tire and sit on those until you get it lifted shouldn't be long right?

 

#unemployed highschooler budget


One of my other tires has a little bubble in the side wall too, so it's just a matter of time.

 

Ah well in that case do what you see fit. Do you wheel this thing hard or do your tires just suck?

 

I'm just sayin.. what if you could shake your steering rack back n forth a half inch?!? Lol... that's not thaaaat much, right?

 

Mine has ALOT of play...time for a new one

 

I plan on driving to Denver for a CVJ reman!

 

Lift has nothing to do with fitting a tire on ifs. The travel range is the same just changes ride height

 

AEM 320lph fuel pump install (works for OEM just don't modify anything)


Step 1. lift bed for fuel tank access (bed bolts 17mm x4-6 depending on model)

Step 2. fourwheeler tires. (prop it up)

Step 3. Assort and remember connector and pipe locations

Step 4. Undo pump bolts (8mm x8)

Step 5. Here's what you're after.

New AEM next to smol Toyota

Step 6. Undo this/these


Step 7. wiggle pump from grommet

Step 8. Fully remove smol Yota

AEM connector

Step 9. adapt to Yota connector (I simply removed the Toyota wires and soldered to the left over crimps and shoved it all back into the plug) (AEM install only)


Step 10. Modify pickup as necessary, and file down any burrs. (also blow through the tube to rid it of any metal dust) (AEM install only)

Step 11. Install AEM to toyota connector and tighten worm clamps. (AEM install only) I had to modify the AEM grommet to fit the tacoma pump bracket.

Step 12. Install AEM pre filter (AEM install only...obviously)
Step 13. Reassembly is reverse of removal.

Made it home, no fires!!

There have been some killer deals on take off nittos from trd 4runners. There was one set for $400. But they are 17s...... what size are your wheels?

 

Then the only logical choice is 35s.

 

I was thinking might as well just cut it all and sas with 40s.

 

Obviously.

Keep us posted.

 

Nice!

You have a lot of detail on this, did you put this in a thread all it own as well?
