New Mexico Owners BS Thread

Awesome! Saturday would be great. What time works for you? Of course, least I could do
@Jmad1997 you still wanting to come then too?

 

Yeah I should be good to stop by for at the very least 1 hour to help out before my meeting.

 

I like slow mornings on the weekends. Anytime after 10am works. Just let me know when to expect you.

Also, anyone wanting to come by, PM me your phone number. I'll get out texts tonight with the address and start time.

Finally, on the LBJs, I can't remember anymore but do you need a press for those? Or is this the subassembly with the 4 bolts?

 

10ish works for me.

The lbjs are the 4 bolts. I already got those in. Just need ubjs. I rented a 3 arm puller from autozone and bought a press thing from harbor freight (I posted the write up on one of the pages in here recently). Doesn't look too bad how they did it...

Then just leafs, shocks, brake bracket thing, and exhaust bracket

 

I may be able to come by for awhile. Have to start something on the smoker so need to be home between 12:00 and 1:00 to get that going. Not sure which would be better - early or later?

@tomtom , you have all the tools you need? I have C-clamps as well as other stuff if needed. I'll come by early if that's the case. I'll PM you my ph#.

Wanttttttt

 

oh hell yea

 

its mine

 

we have too many yotas right now lol next time

 

That 4.7L 4-cylinder must have one hellova lotta torque!!!

 

Didn't even notice that

Sweet fab up though! I want to have it even though I'm just now putting all this work into my current truck.. I can swap it over easily, another mod day

 

We could start like 12:30-1? Might be a more better time for beer drinking and pizza eating... oh and working on trucks

 

I

If that works best everyone I can show up after I get the smoker going. It'll take about 4 hours for what I'm cooking so I could help out for 2 to 3 hours depending on where @tomtom is in relation to my house.

 

Yeah, whenever works best for tomtom! I'd like to be done by 5 when the wifeytobe gets off so we can run wedding errands. It shouldn't take that long (knock on wood) so starting at 12-1 should be fine but maybe earlier just in case haha

 

Address has been sent in response to PMs. Planning on being down in the garage at 10am. I prefer to start early because shit happens.

I've got all the tools needed but more are welcome. Working both sides at the same time can makes things go faster. Only concern are the UBJs. When I did them, ended up taking the spindles off and getting a 20 ton press on them. Would like to walk through the work and parts you have before we start to make sure we can finish.

See you tomorrow morning. All are welcome. Shoot me a pm if you want to stop by.

 

Garage is prep'ed. See ya'll in the late morning.

 

Another fun filled TW wrench day. Got Josh's rear leafs and shocks installed. TC was a big help. There were a few hiccups but solutions presented themselves and it got done. Still need to do the UBJs. That is for another day.

 

And here's Tom addressing one of the hiccups with a cutting wheel. The u-bolts sent to Josh were too long. Not any more!




Tom was The Man yesterday. Provided the garage, tools and know-how to get Josh's truck on the road with new springs. It was good meeting both these guys. Look forward to getting together again for more beers and trucks!

 

if anyone sees or knows of 12-15 tacoma in a junk yard please let me know, trying to collect front end parts to do a swap. already have the grill and bumper but a complete front end would be awesome.
