northwesttaco's SOLD LT Build w/ 35's and BS

nice truck

 

Thanks dude

 

You must be looking at the wrong one

 

Thread is labeled BS.....

 

QFT

 

It's because I've bullshitted everything on this truck

 

Cant bullshit and bullshitter

 

At least you admit it

 

My front is insanely creaky. Not like my uniballs are dusty/dirty but when I turn the wheel its intermittent creaks and pops... Going to flush the power steering fluid since I'm sure that hasn't been done yet. Also added more stuff to the list...

1. Fix resi hoses on the front (rubbing on the coils) Complete
2. Gemplers rust converter on the frame. Just normal light surface rust now but I don't want it to get worse. Arrived
3. Replace skid hardware with grade 8 bolts (something I should have done in the first place )
4. Replace alternator for safe measure
5. Replace all tie rods with OEM because my moog's lasted about 2000 miles Ordered
6. Alignment
7. Change front/rear diff oil
8. Retube/balance rear driveshaft
9. King hydro bumps in the rear/super bumps up front
10. Install loner stock inverted shackles that aren't bent Arrived
11. Deep clean interior Complete
12. Get a flatbed trailer for this (in the spring)
13. Mount/wire rest of my rock lights
14. Carrier bearing drop Arrived
15. Axle shims Arrived
16. Tint windows darker
17. TC bed stiffeners
18. Front Wheelers super bumps Arrived
19. RelentlessFab Aluminum tailgate reinforcement Ordered
20. Frame Plates Ordered
21. Flush power steering fluid
22. Rotate tires
23. Weld on Rear diff guard

Slowly but surely knocking out this list. Just ordered @RelentlessFab aluminum tailgate reinforcement with their sale going on it was a nice discount, frame plates ordered, picked up stock shackle hangers since mine are beyond the point of being able to be fixed (thanks to @polyanskiyalex), and axle shims have arrived. Hydro bumps may be next..

 

Thanks for the order Brian!

 

My front end was all sorts of creaky. I cleaned my uniballs really well and greased the bushings on the UCA and LCAs and it was still there. I was just about to buy a new steering rack thinking it was that and decided to replace the uniballs in my LCAs first. Put the new ones in and the creaks were gone. Not sure why the lowers went out so fast but they did.

 

Thanks Eric! (Or Brittany who's ever on )

I have less than 5k miles on mine so I hope they didn't go bad... but thanks its something else I need to check! It started after the last time I went on an easy trail. I need to replace my tie rods anyway so hopefully it helps.

But also bought some more stuff from @Shmellmopwho fab! He's running a GB right now and I have literally never read even the slightest negative review on his work. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...-hi-lift-slider-adapters-nov-4th-25th.459159/
Hi lift rock slider attachment


And POD mounts for both sides. Going to put some on with a strobe like @jberry813 had on the RDP for dust lights

 

Eric. I take care of the forums, she handles most emails/calls/FB and we both run our IG page.

 

Ahh gotcha. I should have just picked this up when I was down in September but didn't even think about it!

 

Same issues... not even sure where to look...

 

It was so bad that I didn't even feel comfortable taking it out last weekend.. Well that and I had 3 papers to write but mostly the creakiness.

 

Wooo! Thanks for your support buddy!!

 

Yep, mine were new on December, only about 10k on them when I replaced them. I actually called total chaos to ask about it because one I took one apart the fabric liner was dried up and a piece had somehow slid out which was odd because I lubricate them consistently.

 

Making me stress about it now...

 

Should've bought that AP kit
