OME install

The goods (thanks to Wheelers)


All completed how it sits. All in, about 7 hours. Could have shaved it down but why rush it? Going to see how close the alignment can get otherwise UCA's may be next.


US Offroad winch bumper that will go in once I've received the winch.

 

Looks great

 

Nice!

 

Thanks, first truck modding experience. Been a car guy for many years and always admired the Tacoma. Big shout out to my friends that helped me pull this off. Forgot to mention it has the full Dakar leak pack with extra leafs. I wasn't afraid to be bounced around a little but it rides surprisingly well.

 

What was the reason for the extra leaf in the dakars? I've been a little worried about the unloaded ride of the dakars with add a leaf? But it's not too bad so far?

What springs up front? Looks like you have two trim packers on one side and one on the other? Looks good anyway!

 

We will be using the truck for hunting and load lots of gear. Used to have a full size one ton but it was too big in the trails. Used a 4runner last season and it was great but packing game in the back isn't ideal. They are 885's with one trim per side.

 

Nice. I have nearly completed my OME install today.

Did you have issues trying to get the rear shocks into the mount on the axle?
It's all I have left to do and I'm struggling to get it in there. The rubber on each side of the eye on the shock seems to be too big.

 

They are tight, I used a pry bar to open up the shock mount. Couple taps with a dead blow and it seated nicely.

 

Truck looks great!

FYI, I think there is a group buy currently going on for All-Pro UCA's, (if you need them).

 

I saw that! Really wanted to get in on the GB but shy on funds, doing some home renovations that are absorbing any money for truck mods.

 

Came here thinking this would have a step by step and it doesnt... leaving, meh

 

No where in the title does it say "Step by step OME install" soooo yeah? Besides, there are installs very well detailed that have been done by other members if you aren't too lazy to use the search.

 

Bjmoose installs OME lift

 

OP since you are in Canada, world of advice spray them with Fluid film to keep them from rusting.

Hahaha thats fine no need to get your panties in a bunch. I would just change the title to OME installed. As though it has already happened and not an ome install picture thread to show the install. All this thread is, is a thread of a truck with OME installed. Key part of the word installed is the ed... It already happened

 

I know for sure that I got sold the 885's non "x", your truck sits taller in the front than my AC with 885s.. That extra leaf in the Dakars is a great addition... I should of got it installed with the pack when new, total pain to add later...

 

How long ago did you buy them

 

Not sure of the difference between the X and non-X, the guys at Wheelers put the whole package together. I told them what I was looking to achieve and they sorted me out. With no load in the bed it rides like a one ton but I wanted to have an level ride with load. I don't mind the rake when running around without load.
