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

22re with the solid front axle. I'll try and get pics this week

 

Very nice! shame tho..you have a nice Taco.

 

hahaha getting a little worried there with your lift?

 

shoulda got a real lift

lol

 

you don't have upgraded shocks. The stock billies are just stock length stocks made by Blistein. They aren't any longer then normal shocks. valving is different i believe.

Thats why getting 5100s and setting them at 2.5'' is better then a 2.5'' spacer.

either way, im sure you'll be fine for a while. Not like you see a lot of "oh no i bottomed out my shocks with my spacer lift" threads lol

 

Well hopefully you won't have any issues.

 

just shooting him down!

you dont see any trucks with toppers jumping anything do you? nope, so get the hint and lose that thing lol

 

My truck came with a 3" spacer lift and I put it through hell. You should be alright.

 

Anyone have a rear-exit dual magnaflow exhaust on their taco?
I have a single 3" pipe just where the stock exhaust used to be and am really considering upgrading to the dual pipe. I think they look sick when they come out the rear, but I've never heard a Tacoma with the rear exit dual exhaust and wondering if it's any different than a single pipe magna-flow exhaust.

thanks

 

Id never run ranchos. My truck came with em and three where leaking.

 

x2.....i ran ranchos on my heep and not only were they leaky, but they rode like pure shit

 

agreed. Terrible ride.

 

Some of the '85's had EFI, my dad had one when I was a kid.

nice cant wait to see them.

 

Yes. Dead Heritic has stock shocks and Revteck spacers and blew a shock his first time wheeling with us down in the Rio Puerco. Wasn't even going fast--the truck just flexed to much and BAM Bent the rod too...

 

HA that doesent give ben much confidence for moab its ok ben, ill tow you back to camp!

 

I have also run rancho rs5000 shocks in the past and currently on the rear of my taco and haven't had any problems...sure they aren't the best riding shock, but I'd you need a set of shocks in a pinch, they are cheap and they are also made in the USA

 

testing out the suspension on a dirt road behind work. realized rear is gonna need work. stock leafs aint gonna cut it.
