209 TACOS - B/S and shenanigans

Right on. I got the same but kings with adjusters just last month. I am a happy man I'll tell ya.

 

If I don’t make it to Mod day someone has to send me the video when he pulls the UCA bolt

 

Nice, I bet they are like butter. I thought about the adjusters but I need a camper shell, 285’s, light bar, fogs and blah blah blah. Adjusters can be added later if I want to add them but those other items I need in order to get ready for my trip. My front bumper is ordered and should be about 8 more weeks. Will be 4-6 for the shocks and 4-6 weeks for the campershell. I hate the waiting game.

Fucking never ending rabbit hole, but I love it.

 

Channel locks and get to bending! Cant get far with our rigs if you ain't willing to bend hammer and cut.
I got over it after I did my cab mount chop and pinch weld hammer smashing! Now i use my angle grinder without hesitation (after researching).

 

LMAO I’d like to introduce you to @Motofox

 

Yeah, ive read you need to bend some shit outta the way. I almost ordered new pivot bolts so i could avoid that and cut out the old ones. But i wasnt sure if it would be that easy so i didny lol

 

To get the bolt out you pull the cab..... or bend some sheet metal

 

FTFY

 

I just watched a video by total chaos for swapping arms. It didn’t look like too much bending. I’m more worried about breaking shit like those little plastic clips holding the splash guard in place, or smacking my abs lines with a hammer, or some other dumb mistake



Easy to say from my couch lol

Do we have ECGS install/removal tools locked down? Or should I start sourcing those?

 

I have it and even if I don’t make it I’ll get it to Matt

 

Sweet, thanks in advance.

I guess install tool would be a typical race driver/hammer setup (even tho I don’t have those lol)

I will keep watching YouTube’s to learn as much as I can before game day. Was going to make a list of the various torque specs I’ll need to know (ocd in full effect)

 

I think I probably need to change my air filters. Do you guys use the OEM filters and if so do any of the local parts stores carry them?

 

Well you can bend it back if that helps

I watched that TC video too. 14 minutes my ass. I needed breaker bars and suspect they had everything loose before to make it look easy. My 14 minutes turned into 8 hours, but I'm new to wrenching. The video did really help me though. Sounds like your in great hands with these guys though.

 

I did Amazon for both cabin and engine filters for like $30

 

Ok... Time for big decisions to be made. Just got the Land Cruiser emblem for my grill. I didn't think I would like the white, but now that I'm actually looking at it, I don't know.

Should I leave it?
Paint the white dark grey?
Paint the white light grey?
Paint the white gloss black? (The mesh is flat black so there would be a contrast)

 

If I'd have known, I have that emblem and some aluminum mesh I'm no longer going to use...

 

Oh, and my plan was to paint it all black, then outline with a white paint pen.
