TRD Pro & TX Baja OFFICIAL Thread...

Measure your ride height, normally they are at different heights to compensate for the gas tank.

my only issue with jba arms is they force you to run super high castor numbers, especially if you want some firewall/body mount clearance.

The numbers I like to run on Toyotas for alignments
0 camber
-0.5 cross castor
And stock toe.

 

MPG with supercharger: *not applicable*

 

How do you measure ride height? I measured the top of the fender from the ground when I noticed the difference in driver/passenger. Sounds like an alignment issue more than suspension though.
Would you say the 1.9 and 2.9 are super high for caster? Having alignment specs to shoot for is really helpful. Thanks

 

Typically I run between 2-3* of castor. But like I said with your jba arms you will have higher. The biggest thing is to have the driver side castor a half degree lower than the passenger (like 2.5 driver 3.0 passenger) that should compensate for road crown and keep you driving straight.
I am not sure if it will be different where you live but that is what works on the streets where I live.

 

Stopped working on my backyard projects long enough to mess with the truck a bit. Adjusted my bumper cover to match the McNeil fenders better. Swapped the lenses out on my XL pro high speed spots to the driving combo lenses. Next I built a bridge between the light mounts so I could reposition them and added a single XL racer in the center for a nice trio of lights. Still need to rewire them and move my license plate higher up so it's out of the way of the lights.

 

That looks great! How bad was it to put on and adjust the fenders?

 

I worked on the door sections of the fenders 1st had to take some material off to get them to clear properly. After that I moved on to the headlights and removed some material for better fitment. Did everything with a Dremel, sharpie and flapper wheel. I did open up the wheel wells a bit that required a jig saw and some fiberglass work since I wanted more clearance and actual fender liners...

 

Looks real good. Which LT did you do again? And how much additional track width did you get out of it.

 

TC 2" kit probably would have gone with the JD fab kit since I am doing their rear SUA kit but already had the TC kit. Also like the fact I can throw a sway bar on it for long road trips and let the wifey drive it while I sleep and not worry about waking up upside down or not at all...

 

Did you consider the Baja Kits 2” kit when you looked ? I coincidentally was looking at it earlier today…..seems nice

 

I looked into them and I am sure they are great. I have dirt king lowers on my 4runner and they have survived some serious beatings been super happy with them as well. I have few buddies that have run TC kits for ages and love them so I deiced go with them. I also like the fact that I could run a sway bar with them all though I have never installed it but I think it will clear my DTF front bumper. There are a ton of great kits on the market currently even Camburg has a really interesting set up..

 

I don’t know much about LT other then their intended uses and they bring on a bit of maintenance. Are they all the same as far as maintenance or is there one that is easier to maintain?

 

Honestly I think the JD fab is probably the least maintenance with the sealed uniballs.

 

Do you daily your truck or do you have a commuter

 

It's not a daily just my mid life crisis This is my daily bought it new 18 yrs ago and it's been a Beast!!

 

@04TacoRunner your build is looking great man

@BVita the access cab needs this front bumper/skid combo!

 

I know who still has a brand new Type C

 

I’m just gonna buy a raptor again. bye friends.

 

I meant our mutual friend lol

 

If anyone is in the market for a Baja this seems like a good deal. $35k, 67k miles, 2014, looks really clean and has quite a few tasteful mods. Even has a matching spare
