San Diego BS Thread.

T-nutz.com has them. Check out the prinsu roof rack thread of that website is wrong. He lists where to find t nuts on his first page I think.

 

Hi Chris I've had 3 phones in 2 years but pretty sure I still have it, maybe PM it anyway haha, Yeah that'd be great & I can finally check out yer sled dude....

 

Any recommendations on best salvage yard for 2nd gen tacomas? Looks like I might need a new front right speed sensor and figured I might as well check to see if I can find it cheaper than $140.

This is in my truck and working great.

 

Do you need the actual sensor or just the wire,my ou can get just the wire and it is super easy to replace because there is a plug just above the wheel well and the plug at the sensor itself.

 

Awesome! Thanks.

Don't know yet. Still need to put a voltimeter on it to see where in the line it's failing.

 

alright guys i am in desperate need of help, i was installing my long travel tonight on my first gen when i hit a snag, the long ass bolt that goes through the upper control arm didnt fit, even though it came out super easily. upon further inspection the sleeve (dont really know what to call it) is oblong and will not allow the bolt to pass through freely. all i can think to do is have that part cut off and to install a new one, the issue with that being that I am not skilled enough, nor do I have the tools to do it. and because i cannot get the upper arm on, i cant put a wheel on the truck to tow it, much less drive it to a shop. What are my options here? If you see this in another thread sorry gonna post it around because I am at a loss. I cant even put my stock stuff back on.

 

1st, where in San Diego are you located? 2nd the sleeve you say is bent, are we talking the sleeve that goes through the front coilover mount? Maybe a picture with whats bent would help

 

I was about to edit the post when my computer died. it is the sleeve on the coilover mount attached the the truck. I am located at sdsu, pics will come momentarily

 

If I were you, I would either tap the part that is bent with a hammer, or tap the bolt head with a hammer.

 

I tried, i used a dead blow and tried to hit it through it no success, I actually got the bolt stuck in the sleeve for a good hour

 

Sounds like where the bolt goes through the shock tower to mount uca......maybe a BMF hammer to pound it he bolt through

So no go on pounding it through....damn

 

I don't think there is any way to fix that without a serious torch to really work the metal back into shape and you realllllly need what most people call " coil bucket gussets " which are actually double shear gussets

 

all i can think is to have someone cut it off and weld in a new one... but I cant move the truck

 

Can you drill the hole out slightly?

 

I had that idea but I dont know how to get a drill in there at that angle

 

I would try something other than a dead blow hammer. Use a standard hammer. I'd also try to thread it through. Also, did you try putting the bolt through the other way? Getting past the bad part first?

 

This. Seems like it's right there. Drill it out a tad and pound that bolt through.
