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

What is 559?

 

Local toyota group, go check him out on IG @559yotas

 

On a work computer, not allowed to go to social media sites. No biggie. You told me what I needed.

 

Figuring out things for upcoming stuff, that's about as specific as I can get.



Not yet sure what I think of this

 

Been wheeling, haven't broken her yet.

Give me some feedback on my latest video please!

559 is central California

 

Absolutely. I'll check them out.

 

Great video man. Way better than that smaller trail one you posted a week or two ago where you showed yourself walking to get the camera. Lots of great angles and highlights and the drone footage definitely takes it over the edge. Awesome work.

 

You'll need the entire assembly. Just keep an eye out for junkyards or some guys on here. That's what I did

 

About 10mph

Its 5 high. Doing 70 when it says 75.

My stock one had 30. The new one has 33

 

Thanks for the feedback!

 

swapped out filty filter for cleanning time to hit Pismo Dunes this Memorial Day weekend

 

so I'm looking at icon extended travel coilovers in the very distant future, apparently they are different from kings in that they have digressive valving so the ride is smoother at higher speeds but I'm wondering if they will be stiffer than my old man emu 881s I have on there now on the road. And would these be alright for things like hills and rocks and climbing in general? Im just looking for something with a lot more travel than ome, again in the distant future.

 

Start reading up on the Mid Travel thread, as well as the Fox, Icon, King, ADS comparison thread.

There's more differences than just digressive vs progressive.

Also, a coilover with UCA will net you no more than 1" of additional travel over your OME setup.

 

I like mine so far, smooth but firm around town. Buttery smooth on the dirt with plenty of flex to offer up. What spring rate are your OME? Also mind you the much larger 2.5" piston in the Icon has greater adjustability and control over the movement of the truck. So no matter what I imagine it would be pretty comfortable. But with your light front end I might consider 600# coils instead of the 650#. I am at the end of the range for the 650# now, if I wanted more lift without making things harsher I'd have to consider a longer coil or 700# coils. Any other questions... I have pics too I think.

 

Only way to get a lot more travel is long travel or SAS.

 

I trucked it

 

ome are 502# I believe. Thats a solid point though, I don't have a plate bumper and don't plan on getting one tbh so the 600s (I'm assuming just the normal 2.5 vs right?) would probably be better, the whole front end said and done would probably end up being a winch w/ synthetic line, tg tube bumper, and skids. Ill do some more research and see what I think but for now they'll be on my wishlist lol

 

I did a little redneck engineering today.

I was missing the seal around the air duct into the air box for the used Volant CAI I purchased. Emailed Volant last week to see about ordering their 14.5" trim with rubber sponge. No response. So I went to Ferguson plumbing supply and bought an $8.60 donut shaped compression seal, item code PFSVQTGM:

I cut it off right after the first ring, took 100 grit sandpaper to the inside of it and hand spun it on the paper until I could just barely get it around the air duct tube:

The air box opening fits right between the two rings, tight. The air tube with the gasket pushes tight against the box opening:

Inside air box:

 

Very nice.
