Delta's 2002 Tacoma 4WD Build and BS

Awesome to hear! I want to knock out everything at once and thats going to be expensive so its gonna be awhile haha.

 

One Side wasn't bumping right so we had to fix that... re angled the shocks so that a little more shaft is showing at ride height and shaved the bump itself. Then had to strap it to avoid overextended shocks. Only needed to strap the rear shaft about 1/4 inch.

working like a dream now

 

He had to shave down the bumps?? Lucky. Haha. I have to add like 7" of bump. But I have none now.

But so worth it!

Nice! Glad to hear its doing well. Pics on your build thread?

 

Yea there are some crappy pics of the first install and some more of the second tweaks. Only shaved them down about a inch or so but

Ran lower/upper terminator yesterday and noticed about half way through that one of the rear shock fittings were leaking. Have to take apart and refill with oil now

 

I read about the oil earlier. That sucks!

 

Yea it definitely does.. not sure if the fitting hit the shock mount or if it wasn't tight from the beginning but either way I have a gallon of shock oil coming by the weekend hopefully and will take it apart, tighten all the fittings and then put back on the truck. Hard part right now is finding a place to fill them to 150 psi with nitrogen

 

Ive heard bike shops might do it...like mountain bike shops etc.

 

I thought the majority of mtn bikes had coils or used air in the shocks?

 

I thought welding supply places might do it. Not sure though.

 

Yea they might have a bottle, plasma cutters can use it as a sheilding gas but not sure they will have the fitting to hook up to a Schrader valve on the shock.. worth a shot though!

 

Really? I thought alot of them still use nitrogen forks? Doesnt hurt to ask i guess lol?

 

Yea definitely doesn't hurt to call around! Worth a shot

 

You da man

 

@Delta00 Is your flatlink black or gray?

 

Black

 

Nice. I'm thinking about switching to a black fairlead with a black flatlink

 

I think either way would look good. I thought about making my fairlead black but I was to lazy haha

 

I have a stainless on now and the only reason I'm thinking of going black is to just change it up a bit. I just am not sure if the black on my bumper will be different than the black on the fairlead and different from the black on my flatlink....Don't want to have my colors clashing!

 

Haha i dont think they will be all that different. Although the flatlink is a very matte black.

 

I guess we'll just have to wait and see!
