What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

@Running Man

 

I have no idea what you're talking about.

 

measure the shaft on the ball joints.. now that its on my mind i want to see how hard it would be to adapt thew beefier 05-06 tundra balljoints to our tacomas

 

I want this as a decal for my truck

 

Hawt



Wait.... this isn’t the table

 

It's the steering arm that's always the problem

 

son of a bitch i forget about that.

 

i need a link to prove this... because tundra spindle with its ball joints are much beefier bolts..

 

I used an LED strip with a switch mounted in the radiator support.

 

Even more of a reason to check them..

Like everything else for the truck hahahaha




Sorry couldn't let that pass up

 

notice the lack of a front bumper too?

Don't worry tyler giving ya a hard time! could be much worse news tonight!

 

This is interesting:

 

Similar to how a disc brake gets a lip on the edge from the pads wearing it down so do drums. So the drum has a lip. You'll have to install the drum then do the adjuster.

Set screw adjusts preload of the cable only.

 

the set screw is suppose to be a preload. if its too tight when the ebrake isnt on your going to have pull on the parking brake.
adjust the screw all the way in, put the drum on, then adjust a few clicks at a time till you get slight drag.

im kind of terrible explaining things over text sorry =/

 

I'm pretty sure it's the exact same spindle. However the tie rod is different.

Someone on here tried that and didn't merit anything. Chris wtf is your screen name.

 

05-06 is different. the threads for the ball joint are 14mm instead of 12mm. other than that theyre the same spindle.

 

05 is 2nd gen. Should be a two bolt spindle at that point.

 

im talking tundra. not tacoma. my regular cab is an 05. when i do the ball joints i'll be seeing whats different

 

@StAndrew looked at tundra lbj. To no avail if I recall right.

 

Yeah so am I haha 05 is 2nd gen tundra.
