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

Don't know anyone that runs them on a Tacoma, but i'd be curious how they compare to the whitelines.
Wonder if that talk about the ShA is just talk or if it would be noticeable in performance.

 

not sure. But would be a lot easier to install than the white lines I think. Just pop them in like normal bushings vs the metal sleeve stuff.

 

definitely agree.
Even if they don't last super long, changing them out would be a breeze more or less.
I don't know if they use the same sort of washer on either side setup though. Can't imagine the LCA mounts would just clamp right onto the bushing surface??

It's always a pita for me getting the washers and bushing sleeve lined up to slide the cam bolt through when putting them back in.

 

Thats how my LT and my Solo LCAs work. No washers. Don't need them.

 

Interesting. Didn't know that.
The bushings don't get torn up on the ends?

 

No. Plenty of surface area in the LCA mounts.

 

Hm. Might have to give those 4runner ones a try on my next set then.

 

Im planning on it for my single cab.

 

I’ll totally save you the hassle and come pick that ol thing free of charge.

 

Tell ya what. You finish building your "new" tacoma and I trade it straight across

 

woah hey your going to be waiting a couple decades here. my mind keeps wandering off the prize


(dont worry i have plenty of parts coming for it actually)

 

I was thinking about using them my white lines have a lot of deflection . It steers fine but you can definitely move them/ the Lower control arms.

don't they need to be sleeved like the energy suspension poly bushings?

 

they come with sleeves for the inside cam bolts.

You don't need to sleeve the outsides. One of the dumb things about the OEM and Whiteline bushings. Just another thing to rust together.

Again, my LT kit and Solo LCAs don't have outer sleeves.

Neither do your rear leaf spring bushings.

 

But the energy suspension ones need the outside sleeve?

 

......As we both looked down at the carcass, I realized what was going on. I looked at @mrs.turbodb, who was of course curious about the goofy grin that had spread across my face. "We're in the wrong spot," I said....

Different design. Modeled after OEM.

 

Ben...\ Jammer..... if you can share the method you used to clean that would be nice, I know there are plenty of videos on youtube , etc and I had been watching those..... as always there is some fear to wet electrical components by mistake so I' d been looking a waterless method ...

Good job.... I like see old trucks and cars clean and shine in and out ....

 

I may have to do this, since I no longer have a CAT

 

Finally found a Topper for the truck it needs some work but love it! Hoping to fix the hole in my bed soon so I dont have to worry about the inside getting sprayed by snow and what not.

 

Wired up my Warn winch solenoids and tested the winch motor. Everything works as intended. Had no idea if the thing worked or not when I bought the truck, just not high on my things-to-fix list until sheltering and bored-to-tears. Yanked the remains of the old crappy wire that was in there and ordering some synthetic rope and a new fairlead. Need to locate a good used remote switch.
