Watch your fingers

 

Thanks, I never would've thought of that

 

I have never changed them when the cab was on the frame. But it shouldn't be to hard. Just unbolt the cab (1 side at a time) lift the cab and have some one slide a small piece of 2x4 between the cab and frame. On the driver side you may need to loosen the slip yoke on the steering colmn be for lifting the cab up.

 

my roommates dad is building a 454 and I think he claimed it's going to make 450hp/600tq all said and done

 

Cool, being able to do one side at time was what I was thinking... what would you recommend as the easiest/best way to lift up the cab without tweaking anything?

 

put a vertical piece of 2x4 on your floor jack and jack it up by the open door

j/k don't do that

 

You have a regular cab rite? It's not that heavy. Just lift with your knees. Ask your wife nicely to slide the 2x4s under.

Ya that was a gif fail, edited

 

No it's an access cab but I'll still try that knee route

 

Seems like any corner that I cut on the 100 series build is coming back to haunt.. I replaced the brakes but didn't refresh the Calipers. Here I am needing to refresh a caliper.

The Tacoma got a deeper level of love in a short amount of time than the 100. Mostly because I had so much to buy like bumpers and all that.

Told Fall Intern people I could only interview when I’m off the clock at my current job and if they couldn’t wait for me to start in September there’s no reason to interview.

waiting for a response

 

Yessss

The bumpstops made a world of a difference for me on both the Tacoma and the 4Runner.

 

@BartMaster1234 did you ever watch idiocracy? Turns out Doc's dalorian is in it. Burnt out on the side of the road.

I got the Super Bumps as well, did you / are you planning on doing the fronts? I was thinking about doing the DuroBumps since I'll be working on everything.

I played it safe with the 4Runner and replaced all 4 calipers when I did the brakes. They had over 300k miles at the time and some of the piston boots were torn, so they needed it.

 

I don't think they make the Superbumps for the front, though some guys have modified the rear Superbumps to fit up front.
