What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

Oh ok. Yea that's the first thing I checked hoping it would be something easy haha

 

How was the install?

 

Pics of your spring hangers and your rear setup will help, let’s see

 

Gimme ​

 

Aw man it's the thought that counts, that's bad ass. Your truck has really taken shape so to speak

 

Drivers rear ground to fender then hub to fender



Passenger rear ground to fender then hub to fender



Passenger front ground to fender then hub to fender

Ignore all the POR15 peeling off haha. Let me know if you need to see any different angles or anything. Thank you.

Edit: The slab is level and all the tires are brand new with less than 500 miles on them .

 

Built some custom tool brackets to use quick fists and mounted some recovery tools. Thank to Benson X for the great guide: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/diy-hi-lift-and-tool-mounts.260147/
Tacomaworld is such a great place for ideas!
Once I find a good fire extinguisher, I'll build the T-mount bracket with my extra parts and mount toward the tailgate.

 

You should measure from center if hub tto fender. Thatt will give you a more accurate reading

 

I can do that real quick. I'll edit my post above so it doesn't crowd up this thread even more than I already have. Even with brand new tires it makes a difference?

 

Idk thats what everybody has always told me...

 

Well it's worth a shot lol

 

measuring from the center of the hub to the fender provides a consistent distance to compare lifts and takes the size of the tire out of the equation.

 

Installed my Ultra Gauge



Not 100% sold on the location, so I ordered a windshield mount to mount it lower in the corner

 

Dang- they are right about the measuring but even in that first pic you can see the lean... hmm

Just noticed you have blocks back there-- I wouldn't use those with the Dakars.

 

Yea I have no idea what could be causing it either. I may try a 1/2" spacer under the driver leaf spring as suggested by another member. Also funny side note I noticed you're in Gainesville, GA. In about three months I'll be moving to Dallas, GA and working in Kennesaw.

 

Hit us up- join the Georgia thread... but I would try and solve your problem without adding that spacer. I'm sure it's an easy or simple fix just gotta figure out what's up. We can fix it in 3 months!

 

@nazlax10 I did almost the same setup on mine and have the same issue, just have not had the time to figure out what is causing it.

 

Yea I'm not a real fan of the spacer idea since I paid so much money just to get rid of spacers haha. But yea man I'll definitely get into the Georgia thread and maybe we can take care of it when I get settled in down there! I'm originally from Alabama so I'm excited to be moving close to home.

Hopefully we can figure it out. I also posted it here so as not to clog up the 2nd get thread. I'm bad about doing that haha

 

I know it would be a pain, but you could try switching your driver side dakar to the other side and vice versa. That way you could at least see if one of your dakars is way out of spec compared to the other.

 

Installed SOS slimline and winch yesterday evening, passed out before I could post
