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

Check engine light

 

I did it's the knock sensors replaced them but she's been running like this for over 10K miles.

 

No it's the right way up. And the coils are too.

 

Went wheeling at the rockyard up in Cleveland Georgia this weekend. They are having another meet next month and a meet at gulches on Halloween if anyone is near

 

Bring it back and tell them the steering wheel is off the left. Also, the camber is out of spec but the cams may be maxed out.

 

Will do and I'm guessing its because I have that 2" lift.

 

My new eBay OEM ball joints came in today...

 

Dude Tyler I thought you died. Good to see those zip ties came off...oh and the lightbar. Looks better.

 

I was checking similar ones out on ebay and thinking about the change and then one day ended up at an RV parts place to get some things for my camper when I looked over and saw one. I think I may still have my trash/wrapper in the shop if you need the real name. They also make them with a split USB and lighter output that I may put in the bottom space similar to this:

There are these too that you can put in to the areas where my light switches are currently located (where it says 'rear' in the pic)

 

Got the biggest ones they had i think thats the size they are. Haven't mounted it up yet but looking forward to it!

 

Would you like some measurements also?

 

I removed the surface rust from the drivers side floor and applied several layers of primer.

 

I havnt been on in a long time. I've been busy with work and school and really don't have time for anything in between. But thanks your build looks good!

 

Thanks dude. That's all I need.

So it looks like the headliner comes out pretty easy once you remove all the lights, handles, sun visors, pillar panels, etc.

 

That is correct, super easy.

 

Stock UCAs?

Toe is good except they need to even up the steering wheel. Camber is not right. Ideally, you want it close to the same amount from side to side and much closer to 0*. Caster is reasonable but I suspect at a cost of the camber. Have them get the toe and camber as close to 0 and see where you end up with caster.

Aftermarket UCAs will dial in +2* of caster and also keep the UCA from striking the coil.

 

Yea stock UCA, don't have the money as of right now to buy a aftermarket UCA. Can't I trim the stock UCA a bit to where it won't strike my coils as much? And thanks I will tell them to re-adjust the camber as close to zero.

 

Personally, I would not modify the stock UCA to keep it from hitting.

When does it hit? Is it only at full droop?

 

Getting angry at a chunk missing out of your new coils
