or these and save some money

 

Lifted it!

 

found out a way to contact and will let you know when i have a answer to what he says maybe we can get the black ones in the near future or we can convince them into a group buy???

 

Thank you, I think it looks great too. We used Raptor Liner that I picked up from Amazon last week. Super easy, honestly prepping is where the time goes. You have to make sure you prep it well. Def. recommend this product for the do-it-yourselfer type of person.

 

LMAO, to think I thought I could get this done in a week! Looks ugly now but it'll be pretty when I'm finished with the rear. Lots of work still to do. Shocks cycle clean, no binding or rubbing. Clamps are a necessity when putting a spring pack together. I'm happy with the progress. Wasn't too excited about the stripped out deaver leaf pins. Gotta love going to the store just for a couple bolts that who knows how the he'll the stripped. Definitely didn't seem like a grade 8 bolt you would think would hold the leafs in the center. Every day I plug away more and more. Have more done than this. About to put her shoes on so she can feel the ground after 3 weeks. Pretty much brakes, finish weld, prime and paint, and put the bed back on. Not a trophy truck or like some of the other rigs on here but I'm proud and happy. All done in my garage by someone who didn't even know what LT was 2 years ago.

 

Oh, serious question. How is the starter to swap out on a 98? Fairly easy? Mine just went out.

 

Installed CB radio. Still haven't wired it up or bought the antenna or PA Speaker but I'm poor so I'm having to save up! A lot easier to do this than I thought, only took about an hour.
Loving working on my tacoma!

in the process of calling now and hoping to get a black kit listed on Amazon for us and also a possible group buy if i can get something going would be nice.

 

I've done it. Go in thru the side. You will have GENTLY bend one of the brake lines out of the way. You will be doing it by feel.

 

its a bitch on the v6.

 

Shit! That's what I thought I had heard.

 

Once you figure it out once though it gets easier like with all things. I've pulled mine and rebuilt it for like ten bucks.

 

Will these fit on the stock 16" Star wheels?

 

Friday:
Replaced the Driver's side front CV Axle (pretty easy, just remember to disconnect the sway bar AND to lube/grease the new axle's C-clip).

Sunday:
Drained and replaced fluids in:
Rear Diff
Transfer Case
Front Diff (p.i.t.a with that stupid 10MM Hex that was torqued to some ungodly number that required a cheater bar to loosen and then retorqued to 20 ft/lb)

Monday:
Planned drain/fill of transmission fluid

Thursday:
Oil change

 

An unpainted kit would also be a good idea, or maybe not, just paint over and have 2 coats of paint.

 

Ask for Tommy

 

So they don't offer the kit in black and will be in the near future she said but it's only been like a month or two she said they have offered them and as for a group buy she said that they don't offer anything like this at all which is a bummer. So I think I might just buy the red ones then paint them black for the extra protection Instead of buying the plain ones... now on to buying tires...to go with 265 or 285 is now the question to look into..any opinion on either?

 

Not a lot of opinions on that topic on this forum I'm afraid.

 

Get better soon!
