This. They're all brown when we wheel.

 

Anyone wanna sell their factory (first gen) leaf springs they took off that are in good shape? Mine are frowning and ride like shit

 

EBC yellow or Green pads? I have green and they lasted me like a year and a half. Mostly just curious as to how they compare power/life wise. The yellows are almost double the price so that's why I'm asking

 

Should have been around about a year ago. Threw away a pretty good set

 

Damn... none of the junk yards here have any Tacomas right now. Last time I went all I found was 2wd

 

Also need opinions on rack and pinion bushings, where to order from and what all is in the process. Using bedrack money to fix shit on the truck.

 

Actually considering switching over to AP expos. Would you be interested in a year old set of dakars?

Not right now, but maybe in the next 6months or so.

 

I thought you were going LT front, 4wd swap, and bedcage shock hoops for SUA?

 

LT shit fell through. and hell no on the others.

 

Maybe, if I can find some cheap factory shackles. I was considering Dakars if I could get stock shackles from a junk yard. My truck came with lift shackles so that would make the rear way too high haha

 

Don't think factory shackles work with dakars. Could be wrong.

 

They can fit either, just have to order a different bushing depending on what shackle you use. That's my understanding at least

 

Green pads. Ill let Gideon gmtell why as he has used both but he told me to stick with green.

As for the rack you have to unbolt it from the truck to change bushing. Not sure if you could replace them while leaving the rack unbolted but in place? But I can give a more detailed step by step if you want on how to take the rack out.

 

Boys, Toyota of knoxville is asking for 600 bucks a PIECE for a cv axel. Looks like I might be screwed.

 

DAMN! Go to a junk yard and find some stock axles off a 4runner or taco to rebuild
Should only be about $28 plus cost of new boots and grease

 

400 shipped through camelback on TW.

Or call Toyota back and have them order you a remanufactured like I bought.

Or rebuild yours with new boots for super cheap.

 

I had to replace one of my cv axles on the Tundra 650 bucks each for a new one. I feel your pain...

 

For that price I'd rather go with O'Reiley axles with the lifetime no questions asked warranty and just replace them as they go. Geez

 

Now I know for future reference ....

That thread is full of bullshit. I just read the last page of reasons for being banned. One of them just says "because I'm sensitive". Haha it's gotta suck to be a mod knowing you can ban people just because they hurt your feelings.

Me: "Lets talk it out."
Mod: "Lets not. I'll @ you in this thread and call you out but ban you so you can't say shit back."
Me: "Ok, good talk."
