Tacos in St. Louis area

@VangaSTL and I will be doing a suspension swap tomorrow. for usps to deliver on time.

 

Flying to Paris to see if Parisians are truly worried about the climate. Does that count?

 

They get to you on time? My weekend plans just fell through so I'm twiddling my thumbs.

 

Oh we are pushing it tighter than that. My TC uca will be here tomorrow. That shouldn't take too long. They were just replaced. @VangaSTL is getting Dakars, crossing my fingers for my JBAs to be installed on his and raising the Bilsteins up a couple notches. You are welcome to join the party!

 

Sounds like fun.

 

Yeah that seems interesting. Doesn't help my sense of adventure though lol

 

Don't need a pressure switch unless you run an air tank. The pressure switch is for shutting off the compressor once the tanks run up to about 150psi so it won't overheat trying to fill it more.

Just airing up tires so just have a switch to turn on the compressor and then check tires as needed. You won't blow the hose up unless for some reason you decided to let it run for half hour or something without filling anything. If I remember correctly those portable hoses let air out when the compressor is on anyways so it won't build pressure like that.

Edit: I don't run a pressure switch on my tank setup either, I just turn the compressor on and off as needed. Those viair ones are junk, bulky and break stupid easy.

 

Had to bail on plans to go help the guys in St. Louis today as I can't quit coughing and it's killing my back. Instead I decided to start sorting out some of the 100,000 mile maintenance parts I want to get and searched for the "Inland Empire 211590-1XS Driveshaft Center Bearing Support Bearing ID: 1.181" that I missed on the group buy that closed last year. Turns out that Jegs has them for right around what the group buy price was with free shipping so no tears there.



Ordering new CV axles soon as well.

 

Are these better than factory?

 

I hope so as all I have to work with is what I've read here in this thread and the word from others. Reckon we will know first hand in a couple weeks.

 

At the shop goofing off for about four or five hours. Come on out if you want.

 

I scored a camper shell today!

So I have a couple more things for Swap Meet Day this weekend

OEM 3rd gen leaf springs
OEM 3rd gen sway bar
OEM 3rd gen UCA
BRAND NEW Leaf Spring Liners 2-1/4" wide, 20' long
BRAND NEW Old Man Emu U53A U-bolts - set of 4 with washers, locking washers, nuts
BRAND NEW HeadStrong leaf spring center pin extenders (makes the center pin longer to accommodate shims)

 

Man, if this was one week later I could bring my stock UCA, and full TRDOR springs/shocks and leafs. If anyone is interested. Will be moving the 14th.

 

When are you planning on getting this in? I'll have to inspect my current cb after reading that thread you posted. Vibes are getting really bad in my truck and I'm trying to figure out why. First I need to go back to the tire shop and see if my tires are balanced properly.

 

Are you coming to mod day? If so I will be happy to look at it and try to figure it out.

 

I'll be there, going to replace my needle bearing that day...speaking of which I need to go buy some diff fluid.

 

Put the spacers on today.
Thank you @MO Tacoma

 

Saturday is going to be a long day...
