1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

https://www.chaosfab.com/product/1996-2004-Toyota-Tacoma-Lower-Uniball-Conversion-OE-Tie-Rod

Total Chaos lower ball joint uniball conversion. It drives me insane that those guys still say 96-04 Tacoma rather than 95-04.

So...did you go?

 

I'm aiming to go Saturday morning.

 

The FB thread is a shit show

FB groups are just a collection of the people too stupid to figure out forums. There's never been anything useful in those groups

 

It's probably for customer service reasons IIRC you could get a 1995 3rd gen pickup and everyone got tired of having to argue that parts for one or the other are different

 

This is true

 

I prefer the term 95.5 myself but that confuses the idiots of the world too I guess.

As for the lower ball joints. These look better than those others ones welded onto stock joints. But $1000 is a lot of money. And so is swapping out OEM LBJs every ~50K.

 

That guy is also on the FB post

 

Icon?
Fox?
sell both sets and get something different?

 

What's in the best shape and what do rebuilds cost. Either one have resis or adjusters?

 

is he shitting on them or what

Seems like the advantage to the ChaosFab ones are the better steering geometry

Also all one piece rather than modified OEM LBJs

 

All 4 icons have resis not adjusters
just the rear foxes have resis


Icons have the spring rating I think I want
Fox has 700 pound springs


I'm dropping all 6 shocks that need rebuilt off tomorrow, I could definitely make more profit on the icons than Fox

 

Just how people will go with the bigger name rather than his cheaper no name

 

you know what they say, business is a doggie dog world

 

I'd run the Icons probably then, they're good shocks. Spring rate is important, nothing wrong with the fixes though and changing springs is easy while being rebuilt.

 

Apparently Mexican Food week on the Great British Baking show has been a disaster for the show's ratings, who would've thought lol

 

I can't imagine ever giving a fuck either way
