wtf you old ha. save it sister lol. on a lighter note i never had sierra nevada

 

Insert "smilie" with of a little girl with a skirt blushing

Edit: lol jk. I have felt the same way. I def cant drink like I could ten years ago. And I agree on the Coors light

 

make those bad boys, looks like 3/16"
90 is too much for something you can cut out with a jigsaw and pay a buddy to weld them on. Oh wait does it come with a longer UCA bolt though? My taco is 5 lug so things are a bit different.

 

$90 or $400 to get these UCA gussets on are much cheaper than the cost incurred if you tweak your entire coil bucket.

 

I'll see how my paycheck look and maybe ill be able to get them.

 

Hey MJP2 you have Camburg kit with the Total Chaos gussets or did you make your own? I just wonder why Total Chaos says that the gussets are only compatible with their kit. Just looking at them it looks like you could use them on Camburgs kit as well but I dont want to buy them just to find out they dont fit

Also on a different part of your truck but same subject, I was looking at the pics of the gussets on your spindles. Did they weld the very top portion of the spindle right where the upper uniball goes through? Ive looked at many pics of different trucks and it doesnt look like any of them are welded at the very top

 

I thought the same thing but I was looking at the photos of your truck on TTORA and I couldnt see the weld at the top. I tried to copy the pic so I could put a circle around what I was looking at but it wont let me lol. Thanks for the info Im super stoked. I get to call and order my Camburg kit today

 

So I'm working on the truck tomorrow finally. Having some buddies over and going to work on the tacos and grill up some carne

Welding new 3/8" alignment holder tabs on after i cut them out
Welding the crossmember up since it has a crack in it
Installing the cup holders into the bedsides
repainting some areas that need some touching up
Figure out some more of the wiring mess
Rotate the tires since I trashed two of them(hoping the DTC will replace them for wearing weird)


Anyone else doing anything?

 

I worked on mine today. Granted there was no welding involved. But I touched up my sliders. Installed a PA. And painted a part of my front bumper black. Oh and fixed my carrier bearing. Apparently it shifted and the bushing was rubbing making an awful screech. Sounded like a colony of chipmunks and squirrels were singing.

 

I think I might just go with a secondary shock hoop instead of the guessets...whats the rest of TW's thoughts?....hm actually I wont lol I remember TC telling me there are 2 different part numbers for regular or LT for the shock hoops, damn lol

 

is that ur UCA bolt or your shifter lol?

 

I just ordered my kit today but now I have to sit and wait hopefully only two weeks or so and Ill be installing. Im gonna need to weld my limit strap mounts, resi mounts, and I wanna at last do the alignment gussets right off the start.

How much for you to cut me an extra set of those tab gussets? Mmmmmm carne. I live in Queen Creek and there is a bomb carneceria around the corner in "little mexico"

 

got enough metal to cut some extra's? i'd totally buy some of those off you to save me the hassle...haha

but serious, wanna make more?

 

Yeah Alex if you make me and Matt a set yours would pretty much be free

 

Yeah guys I have more metal and can cut them. They are just going to be little tabs that you either weld next to or replace the old little tab things with. And I'll cut out as many as I can and post up a picture of them so you all can see what they look like. I'd most likely only chage like $8 for them shipped lol


EDIT: Fixing phone text talk

 

I'm also trying to put a list together of misc stuff for the install of the kit. So far I have all the normal tools, a ball joint removal thing, red loctite. What kind of grease would I use for the bushings and what kind of teflon spray for the uniballs and/or heims?
