Toyota Tacoma 2005+ Nitro Gas Suspension Kit - Stage 1 (ironman4x4america.com) This is the kit I got.

Comes with pre built struts with top hats, and u bolts. I got a whole new pack.

 

This'll be a breeze then

 

Nice, how much lift? You may need new upper control arms. Also extended brake lines

Famous last words

 

It'll be fiiiiine

 

I went with a 2.5 inch. From what I read, it didn't look like I needed new UCAs. Or Brake lines. But I've never done this before either, so I could be wrong

 

2.5 is the cusp, probably just fine. Rear brake lines… we’ll see when the rear is at full droop with the new setup. Can do it after but you don’t want your brake lines acting as limit straps.

 

Road trip?

 

What days work for you @drmk24?

 

I’d help you out if that’s good with him. Don’t want to scoop up something he was planning on doing.

Do you guys have a design goin?

 

I'm pretty flexible. My work schedule is pretty flexible, so I can usually be available during the week and on weekends. What about you?

 

Yes, sorta... Joel had done some preliminary designing but we didn't settle on anything. Was kind of a work in progress over the last few months. I'll shoot you a PM.

 

Famous last words.....lol

 

Weekends work best, a couple are spoken for for me but if there's ample enough notice I'll make it work, what about you @AllTacosFloat?

 

Weekends for sure, name the day and I should be able to make it

 

I'd be good for 2/24, 3/2, or then not until 3/23.

 

Lookin great!
I won’t be fabricating any time soon. Blew out the AC joint in my shoulder skiing.

 

I got no skin in the game. You guys design and build as you need to!
Finally Got my tube bender working and now the injury, life is funny. I’d be game to help design things remotely and cut parts on my CNC plasma as needed. It’s gonna be 6-8 weeks before I can do actual work.

 

Anyone thinking of Rausch creek Toyota takeover this year?

How long till we can come get you out of the house and go wheeling?? Maybe knock out your list and go have some fun!

 

About 6 weeks until I can remove the sling I think. Not totally sure, more doctors visits today, then hopefully surgery this week.
Full stage 4 AC separation. Bone is definitely suppose to be about an inch lower.. ripped all the ligaments in that area off..
