NJ B.S. Thread

Where did you get the duraflex big enough for that?

 

Super delayed thank you to @Arcticelf , I posted on a ECGS Bearing forum last month and he reached out offering not just the bearing puller tool itself but to help install it if I drove down to his garage.

Long story short, got the job done with some amazing innovation along the way from Arcticelf and now my Tacoma drives much much better by replacing that OEM needle bearing with the ECGS bearing. TacomaWorld hands down has the most helpful group of invidivuals that I have yet to meet on any car forums. Thank you once again and look forward to meeting more members over the course of the year!

 

Ill be doing dual battery in the engine bay. I think I may try a slight reinforcment but my fenders are already fubar and out of line

 

Nice! I remember when I met @Redmann “im probably not going to get into the offroad thing” was something along the lines of what he said. Then he went zero to 100 real fast.

If youre anything like any of us welcome to the money pit that is tacomaworld

 

Yup trying not to do too much but the more deals I find on parts the harder it is to say no to more add-on’s lol.

 

@Redmann is that your third home? lol

 

Great meeting you and @Redmann as well! I couldn’t remember both of your usernames off the top of my head smh. I’ll make sure to reach out if I’m ever heading back down that way.

 

This is the company I ordered from.

I get lots of ideas on what and where to buy electrical supplies and tools from this guy...

He has great write ups on TW.

 

Yea it’s self adhesive

Wow nice job! My front is cracked to shit too.. might have to copy this

Well there goes my productivity level for the day..

 

Thanks, did it all with a Swag Offroad finger brake, Swag Pipe Sized Dimple Dies and the Harbor Freight hydraulic punch kit. The punch comes in handy all the time. Fuck hole saws.

Having the battery in the back helps correct weight bias and now my coilovers are at the same preload. The 31 weights about the same as a synth winch too.

 

Hey NJ peeps!

I started the thread below, and would appreciate any input!

Any time.

 

I have a stupid request: I’m wondering if someone more experienced with third gens could drive my truck for a little bit. Ever since my lift there is the tiniest of shimmies in the steering wheel from like 18-25 mph. It also doesn’t seem to go away in 4H. I’ve been wondering if an ecgs bearing replacement is something I should do for like a year now, but I kinda need a second opinion.

 

Did you put different wheels and tires on at the same time as the lift?

 

Mine did the same when I lifted and it either went away or I just stopped noticing. Other 3rd gens say you need to replace the bushing, some say the needle bearing, it depends

 

Nope. Tires were on for about 5-7k miles before the lift. Wheels are stock.

 

Welp there goes my idea lol

 

Yeah, the weird thing is, the alignment came in great, the truck tracks fine just a tiny vibration in a very specific speed. It’s so slight I’m just wondering if that’s just #liftedtacomaproblems.

 

Did you do the ECGS mod?
