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

Thanks man!

 

Pretty sure spindles have to be found used somewhere, unless you get the Solo Motorsports ones if you have over $2k to spend

Those are nice. But nah! Lol

 

Pretty sure they are just 1” uni balls

 

Ok. So i dont need that whole kit then! Hell yea !

 

If it was really bad, that may have caused to fail.. I guess?

 

Abs or no? I've got a pair of abs 4x4 ones and a pair of non abs 2wd ones the spindles are the same between 2 and 4x4 just te hub and bearing

 

Disabled abs. Lol. Where you located?

 

IMO, your OEM headlights, yellowed lenses and all, are still better than anything aftermarket you can get. The reflector in your OEM lenses is far superior and the beam pattern they produce is the difference.

Have you considered polishing your current lenses? If they are in fact plastic, that hazy surface will polish up and become clear again.

Are you planning to upgrade your headlight wiring harness to run the better Osram bulbs? If I had known then what I know now, that is the route I would have followed. I still may in fact, I still have my original headlight housings.

Ooof! Passenger side.

Sorry man. I know the feelz when shit like this happens. It is awesome though when your Buddies jump in and figure out a way to get you safely off the trail and home.

I have rebuilt my camburg arms twice now. The first time I used that full kit. The second time, just the unibals. This time I went with FK stainless.

You may find that the arm's frame bushings are getting tired. How many miles on them?

 

Pm inbound

Thanks brotha. The bushings have less than 10k on them. I think those are ok. But the uniballs i know have alot of miles on them. So do i get the 1 inch? Or the 1.25 inch?

Yea man, they jumped in and strapped that bad boy down. Then another body drove 2 hours each way with his trailer to get me. Im gonna have his his tow rig detailed for him!

 

Here it is.

 

Got my bumper leveled and moved the license plate down. Before and after pics. Also got a $9 rubber short antenna and then did the Home Depot rear bumper hole mod. Also got patriotic behind the grill emblem.

 

Cleaning up and clear coating is what I did on my corolla. Compared to aftermarket lights I did try, output is FAR superior with oems

 

It's probably 1". That's what mine are. Measure the diameter of the shaft that runs through the uniball.

 

Yup. Looks like it is 1 inch. So are those better than the ones wheelers sells?

 

This one? It looks like they are the same brand and part number to me.

 

Oh yea . looks like it is. Lol. Thanks man!

Now im contemplating if i should get the whole rebuild kit. But really the only part that requires to be rebuilt is the uniball and the bushings right?

 

Did you closely inspect that piece that presses into the spindle? If it's in good shape then probably just need the uniballs.
