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

Well. I got her dirty. That's about it.

 

Had the alignment today actually and I’m rubbing at full lock?
Thought it may of just been a mud flab but it’s clearly touching the cab mount.
Looks like 285’s probably won’t be something I can run without cutting more than I want.

 

Something is not right. I run 285s, and don't rub without a CMC.

I am running 6112s and Camburg UCAs,.

 

What are your caster numbers? Post up your alignment numbers.

I bet I can make them rub.

 

Not to get in a urinary Olympiad, but I do go off road as well....

 

can u drive with the rear window up or does it blow down? id like to stick my surfboard in there and leave it up when i get a cap.

 

did an air filter change. apparently previous owner didnt know the air filter existed?

 

I have Dirt King UCA’s

 

I bet your caster is not where it should be. Shouldn't be rubbing the cab mounts at all with 265's especially with aftermarket UCA's.

 

Depends on where your LCAs are set at to achieve caster. My 265/70s rub at full lock on the mud flaps with a similar lift.

How the LCAs are set deterermines where the tires sit in relation to the fender opening.



Give this a read - https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...driving-report-with-light-racing-ucas.158795/ - it has a lot of good info.

Set the LCAs to push the tires further forwards. ( rear cams out, front cams in) Then set the caster using the adjustment on the UCAs. Then set the toe.

If the LCAs cams are set where the tire is centered in the wheel well, then the caster is set using the UCAs, the wheels get moved too far back. And rub.

This usually happens when the LCA alignment cams are frozen. If the LCAs can’t be moved, all the caster is set it’s the UCAs to achieve desired caster, especially if you’re looking for a lot (3*+).

This is the issue I have with mine. Everything is in spec 0* camber. 0 toe. 2.5ish caster. But the tires rub.


Go outside and look at your truck. Are the tires centered in the wheel wells when the wheels are straight? I bet they’re not.

 

@JakeSeig
Take a pic of the alignment sheet and post it up. Then all of us internet alignment technicians can tell you what's wrong.

 

Rush installed my new to me freshly matched homertaco grill

 

I’ll post them up when I get the shop to send them to me here soon!

 

While I was at the shop the other day I asked Bob if he'd tig my cracked fender support area. Got around to painting it today, so let's see if it stays put! I think it happened when I got my truck a little airborne a couple months ago.

 

Had a third gen skid painted.

 

kind of a stupid question, but how are you getting these calculations? scangauge? i would like to see how much i get per tank when i go back to Disneyland.

 

Do you have spacers? I have 265's, and was rubbing because of spacers.

 

Today while out tearin up the town with my dad, we stopped by REI and as I was walking around inside I looked out and seen this bad ass rig parked.
I know it's a horrible pic. I went out and talked to him for a few minutes. It is a twin turbo diesel Land Cruiser that they cut the back off of and added the camper box.

He had just backed out of the spot and was leaving when I took the pic.
