Tacoma TRD PRO - FOX out ICON in.

Easy, just take the body off the frame.


Honestly though, it was a bitch and a half. The cab wasn't mounted square in the middle of the frame so one side I had to cut the fender to remove it but the other side was just a little bending to get it out. I shoulda just bought the extra bolts and cut through the old ones, but the dealerships were closed when we replaced mine.

 

Yeah same here, on the passenger side the bolt was getting caught on another piece. I bent/cut the fender out of the way, then the bolt was hitting this piece. V . I had to use a long screwdriver and hammer to force it past this metal.

 

I ordered new bolts for that reason

 

I would do that next time lol But that driver side bolt was a bitch to get back in too. I couldn't get it in backwards because of these black plastic tubes mounted to the frame so I had to put it back inthe right way through the engine bay near the battery box. Took a little love from a dead-blow and long screwdriver to force it back through

 

Some put them in backwards

 

*******************
Me no touchy that party...
Have cut off the bolt from the head and pulled it the other way. You need to bend a bit the brake lines but only about .5". Slide the new bolt the other way (upside down) and put locktite on it. Mine is dead in place, have marked the nut and thread and still in the same position after about 1500 miles.

Have lowered the balloons.

 

Should ride better now

 

Have you had any issues with your sway bar hitting your skid plate?

 

Nope. Have installed the provided sway bar relocation spacers/plates and all good. Will take a picture tomorrow and post it sometime.

 

Thanks for the pics. I think I put the relocating plates on wrong. I’ll post pics of mine in a few. No clue otherwise why mine would hit the skid plate and yours doesn’t.

 

On mine I have Icons 700# coilovers with Camburg UCA.
Make sure the sway bar is mounted FORWARD from the original position using the relocation plate(s).

 

So how's the ride after a few months of settling?

 

so the 700# coils are still a good ride even without a number or winch?

 

Yes. Truck is not bucking forward when stopped and turns are more leveled and controlled. Not sure if this setup choice would or is good for off road driving but for street use I like it a lot.

 

I was wondering the same thing. Had to bend mine as well.

 

Could you point me in the direction of this post Sir. I will be upgrading my suspension at some point and this information would be great.
