What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

You wont be disappointed! I love all my RCI armor! They all install super easy as well

 

Installed ARB recovery point. Few more things left to finish off.

 

Just a wee baby still

 

I did the viper cut to the 2nd gen

 

Picked up my truck today after receiving a new frame. Problem is it is horrible to drive. The steering wheel shimmys horribly from time to time from 45 mph and up. The tech stated that he noticed a vibration and it needed new tires but it certainly didn't drive like that before hand or I would have already changed the tires out. I do know that my driver's side lower ball joint was on its way out when I took it to them. Is it possible that the tires wore to a worn out ball joint? There isn't any significant cupping or anything abnormal on the tires although they are worn down to 4/32 or did I get a shitty alignment? Any thoughts guys?

 

Working on my patch collection. If anyone else knows where to get some more cool ones let me know!

Looks like you need some frame caps.

Maybe the steering rack isn't properly torqued?

 

Awesome, thanks! This is going to keep me busy for a while.

 

I will look at it tomorrow. I did look underneath and it looked like they marked all the bolts they torqued so I will see if they are marked. Thank you. I'm still on the fence if I should give the dealership a call tomorrow and see what they say.

 

Just finished mounting my Voswitch and bus bar. Now to mount the switch panel. Wiring tomorrow.

 

Try rotating the tires around.

 

Lift on wifes Tacoma complete. 1st thing she said. "So when do I get bumpers?" LOL. One thing at a time babe.

 

Nice! Pyrite too....and she sounds like a keeper

 

I would think alignment and possible rebalance

 

Blaming your tires is the oldest trick in the book

You are exactly right
Common sense says given both of those things (alignment and balance) are literally free if you do it yourself and cost nothing but a bit of your time,
it's probably a good place to start before moving onto replacing parts that cost money
Easy to hard
you check/replace a $1 fuse before going to a $1,000 computer

and if it's marked and loose
or not marked at all

 

Sure was! I appreciate it, love the area.

 

And empty your wallet fairly efficiently.
