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

Maybe if you get much longer shackles, but I don't know how much longer would wreck shocks or if they would at all. This would also depend on what shocks you have in the rear. I haven't had any problems with my setup though. Toytec offers 1" and 2" lift shackles which I'm sure you would be fine with either of those.

 

ya the thought was 2" shackles with billstien 5100s for both rr and ff the lift shocks for front if they ever come off of backorder!!

 

I don't see any problems with the 2" lift shackles and 5100s in the rear. Are you going to use the stock coils with the 5100s up front?

 

Replaced the original spark plug wires with ngk. 137K on the originals. No issues on the originals, just piece of mind.

 

that was the plan as i have new originals in a box beside me. the rears were replaced before i bought it and the fronts were sitting pretty low so i spent the 150$ and bought new ones. any ideas why the drivers side spring would be slightly heavier?

 

?? what do you mean. i have never owned a toyota until a month ago so im not very read up on it

 

This^ The extra weight of the gas tank, driver and battery causes these trucks to sit a little lower on the driver's side and is called "taco lean."

Sounds like you've got a decent setup up front. I would recommend eibach springs with the 5100s instead, but new oem coils will do well too.

 

Tomorrow I mount my Hella's behind my Homer grill! Will post pictures once completed.

 

New (to me) wheels!!

Still gotta paint the axles black... Oh, and I rub a little

 

sweet tits

 

I got free metal for my rear bumper build and it already has the perfect bends in the tubing!


Softopper got put down

 

Clean!

 

Nice! Is that Maui in the background? I lived in Lahaina for awhile
in the mid-90s.

 

Finally got my AALs on so the lift is complete... for now

Fabtech coilovers set at 1" but I may bring those up to 1.5"
Icon 3 AAL adding ~1.5"

 

i miss my hella's i had

Did you have to cut a connector piece off your grill guards to put them back there?
I moves my horns over but one of the holes i was gonna use for a light was used by one of the connectors.

 

Too bad you don't live close - i need some new headshots

 

Got my Km2's yesterday and love them! 33x 10.50R15

 

^^ Nice Pickup!

 

havent posted in this thread since i bought my 1st gen but heres how it looked when I got her about 3 months ago



and heres how she looks now




my 3 in lift is being delivered tomorrow from toytec and the parts for my rear dif relocation should be here soon too. so some good changes to come soon! with the final pieces of the puzzle being line-x, sound system, and bfg rugged terrain tires to come eventually.

 

Looks good, but IMO I'd remove the pinstripes.
