Kansas City Tacoma Crew - 816/913

This

He had one of those last time I saw him in person. We were meeting in CoMo for an exchange of parts....

 

ah see i dont see him unless its at a meetup or random post on facebook

 

oh did you ever get your truck aligned?

 

I mean that was..... Like.... A year ago?

Nope. Still waiting on the "aftermarket guy" to get back. Can't even drive the damn thing.

 

get a tape measure and eyeball it.

 

idk this was a recent thing i saw on facebook so idk


damn that sucks man

 

go home already

 

No. Gotta work OT while I can.

 

I wish but like, my UCAs are adjusted as far as they'll go and yet the camber on this thing is still ridiculous. Looks like a freaking 1930s tractor. I'm not sure what we put back on wrong or what got twisted or misaligned but it's bad

 

SPCs?

 

Yup. Really cool design. Didn't mess with the caster settings at all since I'm only on 32s but.... Wtf

 

I'm gonna have to guess that it's the lowers that need to be adjusted

 

Correct I'm guessing, just didn't know how they could get so freaking far out of whack lol

 

Ma
Maybe you have the cams flipped 180 degrees

 

Could be because of the heavier springs

 

But we didn't touch the cams at all

 

Uh..... Hmmm ...... Maybe.....

Eh I doubt they're pushing the lowers that much though. Especially with the bumper helping to bring them down

I mean we had to put them in there, those tabs are actually separate pieces before everything was assembled

 

I was always under the impression that anytime any of the front comes apart the "alignment" is compromised.
Maybe not totally out but it does change. I know there is a pretty good video for the SPC arms that show how to set the alignment.

 

If you're just doing coilovers you can get away with not worrying about the alignment. Once you start messing with uppers and lowers getting an alignment done is key. I'm about 400 miles out for my next service anyway, I'll have the shop double check the alignment and tweak it if necessary to get it back within spec.

 

Yeah, I feel like you could get a local fab shop to make that for like $300.
