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

Hoping so! It’s crazy how loose those bolts can get

 

Put enjoying the nice weather and unemployment.

 

Meanwhile it's 68 and sunny here.

 

If I want a little more lift tho, the 700lbs will probably be a better choice?

 

just the longer srping will help you there. Honestly id do that before you go to a 700. That would be a bit much i think unless you ran 0 preload...which would be pretty close to no lift.

 

I see you're from Seattle, Do you get your rigging assemblies made from West Coast Wire Rope?

 

Yes sir. I was gonna go with a longer spring but im already dumping too much loot already this month. I just dropped her off for a tub job and a shock rebuild

600s

Same. I like the ride. Would hate to go to 700s and hate it.

 

tub job? You have 35s now?

 

thought he ment tug job

 

Weird year, this time last year i was walking through balls deep snow to a lion tree because we couldn’t drive down any of the roads. This year we can still get down every road.

 

They did mine for 100$. If you do take it make sure you take the two peices so they can balance it

 

Cleaning up the valve covers and I notice this... I didn’t notice it before I torqued down the covers but I could have missed it under all the oil and grime built up..

 

Fuck, how far does it go

 

What you can see in the pic is it’s length. About 2 inches total.

 

Yeah that might cause a little oil leakage haha. slather some JB weld on it after cleaning it thoroughly with alcohol and let it cure for 24 hours and it'll at least stop the leaking for a bit.

 

Well at least it's just the valve cover and not the block

 

Would've sucked major ass if is what the block.......

 

I did that

Damn, Hercules! How tight did you get those bolts?!

Jk. Should be able to JB weld that up to tide you over for a while.

 

How would a longer spring help with lifting his truck more? If you keep the rate at 650 lbs/in it seems the only thing that would change is the threads showing on the body while the preload would be the same no? Assuming coil bind isn't a factor
