The Lair

I hate having to go places while I’m working on stuff but it ALWAYS happens! Got a little better when I got a welder because I can just redneck whatever tool I don’t have.

 

yeah lol It came from PA and was sold in VA. I purchased it before I knew anything about cars. Thankfully frame not really that bad, I've been needle scaling and wire wheeling her.

the shells that hold the bushings in were proper crusty lolol

 

Whooo doggy, that's gross.

 

Sorry to derail your thread with my crusties lol. LCAs cleaned up nicely, they were slightly pitted, but not terrible. Some of this is also from me being a monkey with a needle scaler as well. Bushing shells made from an inferior metal, idk?

 

The pic isn't working but no need to apologize. There's no rail for this thread to derail from. Pretty much anything goes in here.

 

ah okay, it was inside of the LCA bushing hole thingy.

sweet, tacomaworld is a bit of a different vibe from T4R.org haha. Much more people just bro-ing out over sweet projects here, I like

I like T4R.org, but there is no comparison to the (good) traffic on tacomaworld

 

Thread for the new shock relocation that I’m rocking.

This new leaf pack is begging for that.

 

Do ittttt. You could make a trip up here and get these lca’s at the same time.

 

That is a legitimate thought...

 

It’d be a long ass day. You’d probably need a hotel nearby since just the relocate alone will take 6ish hours.

 

That's still about 4 months out, right??

 

Yeah. Which would time out if you were to order shocks, since they’ll have a lead time.

 

+5 brake lines will work right? I already have those at least

 

Yep! I have +4 and added a 1” spacer in between the axle and hard brake line bracket.

 

One last question, if I get the hangers on before then, can it run a 14 or will we have to strap the 12??

 

14’s won’t be a good fit for that relocate UNLESS you get the bilstein 7100 short body 14”. Same compressed length as a 12” shock but longer extended length.

Or strap a 12. Either works and really I recommend straps either way

 

A 12 then go full send it mode until something snaps or bends. Be edgy

 

Wheelspin wins!!

 

It is a pain in the ass. Had to get to it when I upgraded all my engine harness no. 2 wiring to smaller gages.
