What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

New UCAs. I spent about an hour cursing and attacking inner fenders with pliers and a prybar to get one stupid bolt out. Rest of the install went rather smoothly, though.

 

Did a rear diff breather extension and ran it into the driver side bed storage box. Also started a 12volt outlet/switch box that is going to go in the storage box. Got the 12 volt outlet installed into an old project box I had laying around. The other side of the box will get a switch for bed lights that I ordered today.
Also got my ARB compressor installed on a Slee bracket. Just need to finish up the wiring real quick. It was a pretty easy install, although I did manage to bust the electrical connector on the washer fluid bottle.

 

First I scraped up all the old cracked 3M protectant with a plastic paint scraper (a credit card will also work, just not as effective). Then I went and got some goo gone and sprayed the adhesive. I let it sit for about 5-7 min then started going at it with the paint scraper. Tedious but in the end came out great! Polished and waxed after adhesive removed.

 

Love my JBA’s

 

New switch or did you change the LED?

The package and install guide say they are Spyder brand

 

Don't have JBA's but is there a washer above the spindle and below the ball joint? For some reason it doesn't look seated properly, someone who actually runs them can chime in

 

Fresh wash this morning and a pic of the head unit I installed last weekend, still getting used to the new features on the pioneer but so far I really like it... Can't wait for my +2 McNeil fenders to be painted and on

 

Looking good, never understood why Toyota doesn't do lighted window switches in the trucks.

 

You probably don’t wanna hear this, but there should be washers on the inside face of the bushings as well. There shoulda been a big pack of washers included. Without them, when you grease the bushings it’ll push the bushing out of the control arm.

Looks like he snapped the pic mid install

 

That body color/wheel color combo looks great.

 

Both videos I watched didn't show additional washers and I didn't see anything in the box, are you sure the JBAs do? Stock ones just had an outside washer.

 

Good point! x2 on the washers near the bushings, I know my old SPC's only had washers on the outer face of the bushing but the new camburg arms I installed not too long ago had outer and inner washers

 

Thanks, need to do a little wheel detailing to get the shine back like it was after powder coat...

 

100% sure, I have them and have installed a few sets. The jbas have gone through slight changes throughout the years so guessing the install video was before he changed it up. I would double check your box and shoot him an email to ask. Oem have rubber bushings and jba poly bushings, so different animals.

 

Figures. Guess I'm redoing them in the freezing rain, this was the last nice day until mid week.

 

Good call, I didn't even notice that.

 

100% positive there should be 5 washers on each UCA, 4 at the UCA bushings and 1 above each spindle and below the ball joints rubber cover.

 

Yes. A washer between the spindle and below the ball joints rubber cover.
