Nimble9's Secondhand Parts Build

Oh stop it you

Also, in other news finally replaced my Intermediate Shaft.

I did a little write-up here to help anyone else doing this job: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/lazy-mans-guide-to-the-replacing-the-intermediate-shaft.671990/

I was able to do the job without jacking the truck up which made sure my steering would stay straight.

 

what is this..

 

the same bushings as the universal radiator kit. combine that with the alpine designs relocate kit and boom!

 

hmmmmmm ok. Adds more to cart

 

Haha I already had the alpine designs mount at home. Just gotta find the time / mod day for it. Hopefully soon because...

 

I have the mount too, just need to order some things. Im going to shop around for the bushings. Amazon isnt always the best.

I have a major CMC to get my dirty 5s to fit, but now I just rub on those little bolts in the fenderwell - just above the cab mount. I never plated in the cmc that I did when I got my new frame in 1/2019. Im just scared to burn through the frame when I weld. Ill get over that soon though.

 

Just cut it and be done with it.

2 frames and I never plated the cab mount.

y’all know what I’ve done with my truck.

 

Oh its cut. First thing I did when I got my truck back. Not planning on plating it.

 

Atta boy!

 

You sir, need a randyfab cmc

 

cruising through @Tacoma1192 's build thread and stumbled up on this, which reminded me I should eventually do something similar as well

 

This was a side of the road home depot part fix on my way to a trip somewhere. Some jankey shit was done on this truck.

 

Janky fixes tend to last in my experience! I haven't had bedside supports since I went HC a few years ago, and I'm tired of seeing them flop around in the wind

 

Well planning for a trip in the next few weeks so I finally caved and bought replacement shocks:


@fatfurious2 thanks for the heads up with Headstong Offroad! I hope they can get the shocks to my by 7/7!!

 

I have a pair of nice aluminum brackets you can have that will support your bedsides. They came with my old bumper and I never installed them.

 

wow I'll take them!

I was just going to make some lol

 

I’ll drop them in the mail sometime this week!


Assuming I remember lol

 

I think ive buttoned up all the projects on my truck. The only "thing" i have left to do is steering rack bushings.

Im pretty happy right now with my truck. Other things on my list are CVJ axles and a 1 piece driveshaft- possibly for this year. Next year ill get into dual shocks up front. But for now, i am happy

 

haha no rush! thanks dude let me know how much shipping it! My bedsides will thank you!

1 piece driveshaft was a clutch buy for me, and I already did CVJ axles and I have a spare Auto parts store one. Steering rack bushings I'd leave until you need to swap out the steering rack. I have a set just waiting for the right time to buy a rack lol

 

I don't want to swap a rack! Ill do the bolt trim mod to get the bolt out. I hope it doesn't take too long. I know I should also do inner tie rods too at some point
