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

I might swap my Kings out for Ome here in a couple months. Pretty sure that’s a step backwards.

 

Dafuq

 

Why would you do that?

 

The best situation would be to find some cheap blocks to throw on my stock shit while I get the Kings rebuilt. Or hopefully the shop in town really does what they say and get set up to rebuild soon.

Only having one vehicle to drive sucks... down time puts me under House arrest, can’t have that.

 

I ordered blocks on Amazon put them on my stock set up. Then returned them after. Lol

 

Well there’s an idea.

 

Just finish de-pinning all unnecessary wires on the harness that had the e-locker. I now have the positions they need to go into on my factory harness. Will take a pic later, taking a break...

 

Got it, I picked up a used flex plate for $25 shipped. Looked like brand new.

 

Getting there, food break time

 

Yeah I got em there. Picked up 4 of them.

 

Mounted the spare in the bed. Will have a full-size spare mounted soon.

 

So I was changing the u joints and i noticed this little bearing I I need a new one. Anyone know the part name or part number

 

I never liked it when the RR is anywhere near where the tire (or debris off the tire) could potentially touch them. I recall when Jason tucked his inside of the front skid plate. That seems like the best solution. I really like the placement of the RR that Dan did. @drr

 

Sparco installed.

Wow Sparcos have been on my list for a long time but those look really tall, do you sit high now? I'm 6' 3" is there any hope I'd even fit with these?

 

Dan's is in a great place. And yeah Jason put his under the front skid, also a good spot i think. I think Tony did that with his foxes too when I told him about it.

 

Brett is like Ben...almost literally in size and build. Im sure he fits.

You and I...doesn't look like it.

 

Huh guess I'll have to make my own brackets then, bummer I just wanted something to bolt in for once.

 

The bottom of the seat isn't that much higher than the stock one. It's got a Sparco slider and an old sparco mount I hacked up and welded the original bases to.

Could easily get it an inch or two lower.

I'm 5"8" and like the increased height.

They don't even make a mounting plate for a 1st gen.

 

His didn't anyways. But he got it from a 2nd gen dude and had to mod the mount.

I think mastercraft makes suspension seats with brackets you can get.

I want to just get some comfy ass luxury seats and make em fit haha
