What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

These are what I got and they came with bolts, I also bought extra bolts haha.

 

No I am not. Found them on here from a member that said they came with bolts.

Every time I've ordered LBJs they have never come with bolts..

So good catch! Glad you didn't end up with the wrong parts.

 

interesting as one of those is the same PN i gave Dan...but one is not...

 

See from gunny

 

thx. What is this discount applied to your order, and how do I get it?

 

I think it was a TW thing, sometimes gunny has them posted in his thread. Something like TW10 or similar.

 

I found a black door for $150 but its nothing but the shell. I might look around a bit more to see if I can find something else, but that looks like my best bet as of now.

 

yeah you can swap everything over to it. Takes some time and working inside the door isn't that fun but not horrible all things considered.

 

I have this coming in today. Hopefully I got the right ones. I did input my VIN so I assume they confirmed.



Have three hard seasons on my current OEM LBJs and they have some play. I guess that's just what I need to expect for lifespan from these.

 

seems short. But I know you had a season that you hit a ton of hard dirt miles. I mean realistically how many miles approximately do you think you did on them?

 

About 30k miles.

Also realized my screenshot doesn't have part numbers, so doesn't really help...

 

30k miles seems good to me considered what you use the truck for mainly. I was expecting 30-50 from mine.

Means I'll hopefully get the same life out of uniball lowers.

 

I coated my tool box and fenders with it. It is really cheap and is beginning to flake off, plus to do a whole bed you'll need like 30 cans. I stick with the real stuff for doing a bed.

 

Yeah, the 1st year of that I was still DDing the truck. Only put 15k miles on the last two years, but that was exclusively wheeling and getting to wheeling.

Good luck with the uniballs. I know James replaces his lower uniballs yearly. Get them in mud once and they're done.

 

That’s sucks.

 

Previous owner did one of the two, water got under the coating somehow, (port prep I guess), causing a couple of rust spots I have to deal with. If i could, I’d have it professionally done.

 

I don't see why..no different then the uppers getting coated in mud.

 

I think the difference is they're lower and are much more exposed to dirt/mud/whatever.

How often do you get mud up to your upper uniball?

 

Plenty, this is probably the worst I've done

You sure you didn't drive through a porta-potty?
