    Nice tacoma you got there. I am having the same skyjacker lift installed today on my 07 and I cant wait to get her back.

    What size tires are you running? With this set-up, can you go bigger than 265/70 17's?

    OldRed is on the jack stands. I'm doing a knuckle rebuild. Found that the knuckle balls :laugh: were a little rusted on the outside and need to be sanded/jb welded to fill in pits/sanded again.

    Hopefully everything else will go ok.

    I'm also trying to hunt down a hub or set of hubs. one of the hub clutch was missing spline teeth from the last person installing the hubs wrong.. Fucker!!!

    there is a small clanking noise in the front now after the rebuild. It stops as soon as I put the breaks on??? I had to get two new studs pressed into the hub and have a suspicion that the shop could have bent the rotor a bit. any other ideas??

    Hubs are now WARN Premium locking hubs. Still looking for an extra Aisin hub for spare parts.

    I got the new slave cylinder on last tuesday and the clutch adjusted properly. All the hydraulics on the clutch are now new.

    I have a new gauge cluster coming so I'll be able to see whether the tach problem is the gauge or wiring to the gauge.

    hey man this might sound like a stupid question but how did you turn on your fog lights without turning on your headlights. i have the 09 model sport and they will only come on when the headlights are on.

    Thinking about selling my TRD intake, $100 bucks and your stock intake...

    also kicking around the idea of selling the solid fold tonneau cover, accepting offers.

    1.5" spacers will make it rub worse than just your uca's at full lock. With the 1.5" spacers you will be hitting your body mount going in/out of nearly every driveway. If you get spacers get SpiderTrax spacers, they are 1.25". I didnt have any problems with my spacers causing bad alignment or tire wear. It is your alignment not being 100% in spec that wears on your tires. I got the Total Chaos Fab uca's, they were pricey at nearly $700 I believe. Light Racing has a great set of uca's for around $400 They will do the job nicely.

    I've got some stock UCAs you could use to experiment with modifying them. Otherwise, they're going to the scrapyard.
