Nice looking truck , one day I will get armor and loaded, for now I think I have the same sliders got them second hand without the screws to install them , can you please send me a picture of how are they set up to to frame ? I guess need to purchase X amount of screws, X size\ length ? Thanks in advance.

 

Need some quick help. The shop just called and said my right lower ball joint was the wrong part. Need to know if this looks right to you guys. Truck is 4x4 with 2.7 if it matters

Looks right to me. There is however a Right and a Left side, maybe that's what they are referring to?

 

Nope they said only the right one was wrong. Called toyota. The part number of the one I got is for a 4 runner not the one I ordered so it looks like I'll be doing it myself in the driveway. I've heard on here that the lowers aren't hard to do. I'll have to contact the seller

 

Swingout, bed rack, and bedside guards are for sale.

yeah the 4runner ones are different..believe it or not. The ball joint itself is the same. But the connection to the tie rod is different. The tacoma's outer tie rod ends are much larger then the 4runners. And they are straight vs bent like ours.

No idea why though.

Thank you both , good to know , let see if Tacosauce can give me closer look \ pictures on how the installation points looks like \where to install and the bolt sizes need it for those nerds.....i pulled the trigger on a benjamin , didnt know the difference but match the chrome of this DINO. I guess i will have to use them for city until eventually get the sliders for off road later on.

 

Ill send pics asap. Still in my cubicle

 

Need a bit of advice folks. I am trying to get my transfer case fluid changed and I am unable to get the fill plug out. I might have been cross threaded when Toyota changed it last. I tried a pry bar....and impact wrench. Any other ideas ???

Rear of case fill and drain

Drain plug

F'd up fill plug

 

sick truck dude.

 

Flex test will eventually have a sway bar and would never flex this far with shocks anyway but that would be 30" difference at the wheels with no binding

 

Milwaukee quad????? i love their tools

 

I had to buy a socket one size smaller and hammer it on there to get it off when it was like that. It happened to me on my rear diff fill plug.

 

Here are the brackets for the tube side steps

 

Thanks a lot

 

Ok thanks...That's a good idea. I was gonna try some heat to it with a torch.

 

Bye bye for now, chrome.
Front chrome got plastidipped. I will remove it later. Ill sand it all down/prime/paint when i get satoshi grill material. This is good enough for now.
