10/10 do not recommend without a plasma cutter. And the rivnuts kept pulling out because the bumper is so thick The 4 stainless bolts were as much as the whole harness too

 

As far as I know, anything that takes a Wssx16t uniball these will fit in. The Delta joint takes the place of the uniball.

You need the 614526 retrofit kit that goes in the stock upper ball joint location

Just ran this on about 500 miles of dirt track, they performed very well

 

It’s working great! Haven’t had my phone fall off yet

 

Moved the backup cam so it faces down and plugged the hole in the tailgate handle with a taco

 

The last few night runs made it apparent that I needed more than just ditch lights and headlights. So this happened.

Went to town on the glass this past few weeks, fucked it up and had to resand them a few times, orange peeled due to no patience finished it up late last night!

More pics in build thread or IG page if any curious

 

Rebuilding my Knuckles for my frame swap project.

Prepping for the machine shop to install the backing plate, UBJ, and wheel bearings.

 

Valve cover seals a second time, a year and a half ago when I first did it I forgot to do the moon clips. They finally started to leak bad

 

learned this lesson the hard way myself. been there done that. went back and did the job fully, years later no leaks.

 

Added fog lights, with Tundra switch. Realistically, most useless mod, but at least filled an otherwise slow day.

 

Slapped some 275/70r17 wheels and tires on my daily. Got for free from my mom's nee truck. She didn't like the wheels. So can't argue with free!

 

Feel like TW needs a speed run for valve covers off lol

 

I think it’s a badass mod, something I want to do

Did you use a particular write up to accomplish this?

This is the one I had bookmarked

Specific year on the Tundra turn signal stalk?

 

how many tacomas do you have lol

 

I've added the parts list with Amazon links (no referrals) and brief description to that post.

 

They are brown though...

Are you asking about the ones that actually run, or total?

 

3 haha not that many.

Well actuallyim aboit to get a 4th as im getting my dads second gen. So. 4. Ha

Yeah more brown then I'd like. But again. Free tires so not gonna complain. Not quite shit brown like Dan's wheels haha but still not bronze.


Hey they all run. Just one doesn't move technically...

 

I think including Frank in that all run statement is like including Schrödinger's box. It only runs if you never check it.

 

Exactly.


I mean I don't see why it wouldn't run. But who knows. Definietly can't drive. Front suspension is in my garage ha
