    i have my frame sitting in the garage. i'll be seeing if the ball joint is a possible upgrade route. but as @Speedytech7 keeps reminding me, the tie rod end of the ball joint might be slightly different.

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Seems to be the most variable part of all these similar front setups seeing as how that rack positions change a bit on the tundy and sway links

    inner tie rod design is different in how the inner tie rod isnt threaded into the inner, the inner is threaded into the outer. Rack design is behind the engine like the 1s gen tacos. but a physically longer rack

    Yeah but the rack is the same. So you could just swap outer tie rods. 4runners are the same, for some reason there tie rods are straight and not bent and the stud is much smaller. No idea why. same rack though.

    buying wreaks is a mess you should never get involved with.

    now ive got a v8 4x4 reg cab tundra (bought with the intention of v8 swapping a taco) and a very unfinished tacoma.
