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

welcome to life on 35s haha

 

Kinda looks like that from the way the fluid is but I'll crawl under her and check it out more thoroughly

We're can I get a oem steering rack

 

Yeah. I'm on my second Napa reman. Should have learned my lesson with the racks.



Kinda blowing my truck budget out of the water this year between the GFC and new leafs, but hoping I can get a OEM pump on before wheeling season.

 

Every season is wheeling season

 

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha. Yeah. It's funny and sad but awesome at the same time. Cause damn the truck is a beast. But I am likely cutting my LBJ, tie-rod other steering components lives in half or more. Especially since the truck is used for wheeling more than anything these days.

Hopefully fixing my skid mounts this weekend and I can get it back out there again. Trying to focus on self sufficiency so a winch will likely come soon. One day I'll be able to afford fancy suspension like you and @Squeaky Penguin

 

Not when all the trails around me are covered by multiple feet of snow.

Good for skiing and snowmobiling, but the truck gets parked in the winter here.

 

If that's the case:

And I got my rack from the dealer. Thankfully have access to employee pricing.

for GFC.

 

Yeah what I tell everyone that says they want 35s. Do you reallllyy want them?

Ditto.

 

My 700# are 14" long. Stamped right on the coil.

 

would never fit a 16'' coil though @Fernando

if you got custom eibach you could probably fit a 15'' on a standard CO.

 

You and me both. I'm getting more and more excited as they post updates.

 

I still think its too tall for my needs. But my god it seems like the best solution for lightweight long distance comfortable wheeling.

 

I'd really like to see them do a prototype for a 1st gen. The dimensions are going to have to change from whats been built so far. I'm sure it will be awesome but the size difference between our trucks and a turd gen will have an impact on some things.

 

Don't see how it's any worse than that wildernest.

But yes, most well-thought out solution I've seen. You know I'll put it through it's paces and report back.

What exactly are you concerned about changing? If anything it should be better, sounds like it will be closer to the roof.

 

I do look forward to your review.

And yes, the more we are around the wildernest, the more we love it and hate it haha I think i'll end up doing a custom bed rack with canvas.

 

0 regret here though. I couldn't be happier with them or more proud of my truck after the last trip. But J5 isn't a street queen either.

 

exactly.

But you can look at how a 33s performs and its hard to justify the cost of the mod and the maintenance unless you really try and tack advantage of them. I now for me i lovvve floating on the big fat cushion of 10psi 35s with LT. Its amazing.

 

You're completely right. It wasn't in Park. It started right up.

 

Stop rubbing it in lol I'm on 32's I can't imagine how these trucks are on any bigger.

 

What’s GFC? Dumb question.
