Kansas City Tacoma Crew - 816/913

You're buying a house, I'm selling a house.

YOU BUYING MINE?! (I wouldn't) No garage or basement, probably not ideal for a gentleman like you that needs a place to store tools and such.

 

So.....anybody wanting to re-gear soon..........

 

I hear ya, but super psyched to get this done. DP will run so much better......few people out from it starting...

I'd count you as legit. But not really necessary for your build....

 

DevilPenguin needs 4.88's........and a rear locker.

 

I could be legit, but choosing not to be yet. I would legitimately show up to watch or lend a hand on a re-gear

I also legitimately need a new fender flare from my friends mom backing into it at a wedding, but yet to find a silver one.

 

not too shabby. although thats not the expensive part, lol.

appreciate it, but ive been doing 2 years and the 35s and dont see it changing till they break.

 

Will be removing carriers at a friends shop, taking them to a diff shop for installation. Not messing with diffs, thousandths equal perfection or demolition....maybe while a new rear bumper is fabricated....

 

I thought maybe you knew how to do them. I sure don't. Have seen it done on TV and looks like a pain in the ass. I'm not even familiar with Toyota ones at all. Only GM.

 

My truck is a daily driver, it's staying reasonably stock. The other rig is for tinkering with, but it belongs on a different forum. Regeared it a couple years ago.

 

have you decided where to take it?

 

Probably be at 515, take diffs out and use whoever Justin uses for the race car to install air locker and set the gears....after all
the rear axle in the race car is an 8" toyota axle...

 

I’ve been reading some threads on the first gen tundra brake swap. Nobody ever mentions it but does ABS or non ABS affect anything when swapping calipers? I asked in one of the swap threads but no response. Also what are your thoughts on OEM vs aftermarket calipers and rotors? Money being no object.

 

House comes first :/ Regear is low on the priority list.

 

Talk to @SMKYTXN since he put together a big brake swap, he may know more about it.

 

Thanks I’ll hit him up. Poor brakes on my first gen hate life stopping the 285s. Or maybe I’m just not used to it. Either way looking for more brakes.

 

Picking my truck up tomorrow afternoon. I finally pulled the trigger on a 3" lift and some new shoes. Can't wait!

 

Brand New to this Forum but I'm right outside KC! Where are some good places to offroad?!

 

Some blue second gen caught illegally dumping furniture on a surveillance cam in KC. Who don it?
