Alabama thread!

Looks nice

You can do that, we did that for Phillips truck

 

Do you have to trim all Dakars for the Tacoma like this or is it due to the specific Dakars ordered?

 

How does anyone have an 18 with that few miles on it? 4x4?

Did he have the 2886 spring ? Because my truck doesn’t weigh enough to do it

 

i did it with 886 springs on my truck

 

I think it’s all of them

 

I even tried to help it with a ratchet strap and It wouldn’t compress

 

I’m not sure which spring it was. Get a some scrap metal and place it in your bumper

 

Was the LCA bolt all the way loose?

Are you positive the shaft was perfect lined up to go through the top hat? This part is pretty tricky to do by yourself.

 

Thats weird. This might be a horrible idea, I’m just spitballing, but what if you parked the truck under a structure or tree so it wouldn’t go up any higher? Support it with a piece of wood or steel so it don’t crush the roof lol

 

I mounted the shock into the lower control arm and use that to jack it up into the top hat my girlfriend Jacked and while I was guiding it up it barely push through and started lifting the truck not even enough to put a nut on it. The lower swing arm doesn’t just fall down the pins are all seized inside but I can push it down with my foot enough to get the shock passed it I guess that’s going to be next on the project list

 

I’m just going to bring them in to town with me Monday and find a place with a pressed to put them together better safe than sorry

 

I did 700# springs on my truck that way.

 

The seized bolt might possibly be your issue. My truck lifted off the jack stands a little when I did mine, but not enough to cause concern.

 

Alls good. Spent last three months working on Brewton property (up for sale soon) and 79 square body. Turning key for first time on Monday.

 

Need some help. Im still getting driveline vibes since my conversion. Right now, I’m using a driveshaft from a 4x4 taco so I’m having to use a custom bracket I made. The carrier bearing sits about 2 inches back. When I go to the driveshaft shop to get it rebalanced, I need to get them to LENGTHEN the rear portion of driveshaft by 2 inches and SHORTEN the front portion by 2 inches, right?

blue is where the center support is
Green is the carrier bearing (aftermarket IEDLS)
Red is the bracket I made

 

Anybody know of any driveshaft spacers besides 4crawler? I think that’s why the rc has a vibration/grinding feeling going on.
