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

Where do those LBJ's fail, exactly? Do they just shear at the three bolts that hold it to the lower control arm?

 

My bolts sheared, must of lost one and the other 2 couldn’t handle it.


Most people’s the actual joint fails I guess.

 

there are four bolts tho

 

Oh.... yea....

Maybe I lost 2 or something.

I can see 1 in the joint still

 

Loosen your steering rack guide

 

I found the rattle some bolts came out.

 

Doesn't matter. I've have bolts fall out twice and joints fail twice.

 

I appreciate the info! I’m going to call and order tomorrow.

 

One more question, did you hs e them compensate for taco lean?

Damn.

 

I'm a modern American citizen, you've presented me with irrefutable proof that such an event happened as I described, yet for some reason I still feel the urge to deny it.

 

i've seen steel rims bent but never cracked and never heard someone breaking 3 steering racks damn man lol

 

I am running 285/75R16

 

spoken like a true 'Merican even proven wrong you stick to yer guns

 

You guys never miss a chance to bring up his mistakes hahahha


Did anyone die though?

Did you learn something?

It’s all fine then.

 

I did not but I have Kings in front to take care of that.

Take a look at their online tool first. The more information you can give them about your truck, how you use it and what you expect, the more likely you will be happy with what they build you.

 

It's plenty mutual, we all screw up sometimes, not sure about the learning something part (at least not the first time, or at least from each other)

Still managed to flip my shit
