    Also got a buddy on Texas Overland doing a run on sunday should anyone be interested

    "Central Texas folks, a few of us will be running some fun dirt road routes on Sunday, leaving Harker Heights around 9ish, should take about 5-6 hours not including stopping for lunch if anyone is interested in tagging along, will be about 90% dirt over that time frame."

    Negative.

    I can't drive 35.*

    I also don't drive it because you're not really driving, you're just testing the efficacy of your blood pressure medication.

    I just work on your lift and have @Texoma figure out why my ******* truck squeaks like hell since the suspension overhaul.

    Have it pretty much narrowed down to the struts. My guess is the mount where the strut mounts to the lower control arm.


    The Tacoma suspension is pretty simple, easy to work on if it isn't seized.

    The key to working on suspension is to not kill yourself with the spring compressor or dropping the axle on your chest. Besides that meh.

    Something will be seized, always is heh.

    What setup are you running? Probably have bad bushings somewhere
