209 TACOS - B/S and shenanigans

Lol... There is more than one way to get to your destination fast.

 

When today has been one of those days

 

When I was there in November I bombed that road to race track at 50-60mph in 2wd drifting the corners fully loaded up with my stock 3rd Gen shocks without any issue. My friend Greg was ahead of me and miles behind were all the Jeeps. Haha they just aren’t as stable going fast

 

So what y'all are saying is. Im going to be all juiced on my new OME setup. Go on a desert run with you guys. Then start daydreaming about kings until i blow my emus out?

 

It's the tacomaworld way.

 

So, any recommendations on a shop for a post-lift alignment? Specifically with SPC - light racing UCA's?

Im about to pull the tigger on a full OME package, all the things. I’ve been dreaming about this day since I bought the truck over a year ago.

Any advice for other stuff I should buy? I’ve read to soak the leafs in fluid film to help prevent noise but... that sounds like it would just attract all kinds of dirt and grime.

 

@Papadave418 said Swier Tire in Ripon did a good job on his alignment with SPCs

If I ever get my truck aligned, I'll go there... lol

 

Sweet, I’m in Manteca so really just down the road from there.

 

Anybody up for going out and getting dirty this weekend?

 

Right on

Other things to think about.
Extended brake lines
ECGS bushing
Carrier bearing spacer

 

I saw your text... This weekend is probably a no go for me. But how bout next weekend?

 

Brake lines part of the order, although they are back ordered and will ship at a later date. To my understanding, ARB limited the down travel of the nitrocharger shocks as to not require longer brake lines. Seems to be the general consensus here on TW that unless you go to a different shock they shouldn’t be needed.

...Of course I read this on the internet so it must be true lol


ECGS bushing is already in my box full of “mods to do”

Carrier bearing drop AND 3* axle shims are also part of my current shopping cart/order. I figure I’ll go with the 3* shims first and if I get vibes I’ll try to CB spacer.

 

Good plan. Shims are a better way to go.

 

In other news... Pickin up Allpro sliders on Monday





@Pella

 

It’s a possibility.

 

I will have my shit together next weekend.

 

just make sure your U bolts are long enough. Mine that came with my Deaver HD leafs are not, so I need to get some in order to put my shims on

 

There’s some people from my Overland Bound group going Saturday and Sunday to frank raines (sp?) OHV I think. It’s on the Rally Point section under WEST

 

I’ll tell’em Dave sent me.

 

good point, ill double check with them. Any idea how long they should be? looks like 8 3/4 " long w/ the ubolt flip kit
