TacomaChris's Build :-)

I really like all that clearance you got with the spindles. Looks awesome. I went through your list of parts and you got everything right in my opinion. All excellent parts without getting too crazy. I used 5100's and Eibachs with my bracket lift and it all works well together. I put spindles on my Frontier and they really are the way to go with PreRunners.

 

Hey man thanks so much for this. You should be flattered I am going to steal your lift setup!

Just gotta save up and piece it together. I'll probably get the spindles first then the aal, then shocks.

thanks again man I really appreciate it!

 

No problem...you'll enjoy the Camburg/All-Pro setup - it's bad ass and rides great. Good luck with your lift!

 

Lovin' the color and lift setup!

 

So you can't run these spindles on 4wd's?..

 

look sick man

 

enduros are frickin sweet!! nice truck.

 

Negative..these are 2wd only

 

Thanks man - your truck is sick also...I was soooo close to getting a speedway blue truck until my wife chimed in...damn it!!! lol

I just got the NFAB spare tire carrier and it came with a speedway blue strap haha! Looks like chit on my truck but would look nice on the blue.

 

Thanks man...yeah I'm diggin the Enduros so far

 

ha.. i was going to ask you about the backspace too. he got to it first! ive been looking for someone with this setup. ive wanted this setup but i was affraid the 285s wouldnt fill up the gap and couldnt find someone with pics like this but your truck looks awesome with the 5100s set at .85! i feel much better knowing now what it will look like when i get the money to lift my truck! once again nice truck!

 

Minus the rims/tires, was this setup roughly $1600-$1700?

 

It was right around $2K I believe...all of the little crap adds up (shims, adapters, flip kit). Also, shipping for the leafs was not cheap

 

What is the "taco lean"? Is the drivers side lower than the passenger? I have not noticed this before...

 

Truck Looks great, what was the total cost of the total lift only??? Thanks





The day I brought her home:


I put the following on my truck (2 days of install time):
- Camburg spindles w/swaybar provision
- 5100's up front set at .85
- All Pro expo leafs
- 5125's in the rear w/loop to stem adapters
- Extended brake lines both front and rear
- Black 16x8 KMC Enduro wheels
- General Grabber AT2 - 285/75/16

I had never done this before so I took my time to make sure I didn't miss anything. I will say this - ideally you need 2 or more people for a project like this. Installing the expo springs by myself was a huge pain in the ass so I had to get creative and use storage boxes to hold one end of the spring up while installing the other end. Lot's of cussing and I think I pulled a groin muscle installing the rear end. Spindles took just a tad bit of grinding near the weld where the calipers fit on. Brake lines in the rear are a major pain unless you have Inspector Gadget arms and baby hands.

Here she is after I brought her home from the wheel/tire install and the alignment







Things I still need to do:
- Re-install Tacoma badges (painted them black)
- Paint the rusty front hubs black (or may cut my center caps and shove them in, they are waaay too long)
- Trim my antenna because I almost broke it off pulling into my garage[/QUOTE]

 

nice!!! the truck looks solid man!!!

edit: ...and leave the badges off!!! looks clean!!!

 

Yeah I decided some time ago that the badges were staying off - to be honest, I can't even remember where I put them

 

how tall is your truck? just wondering which parking garages ill be able to fit into.. lol

 

Stock Tacoma height + ~ 4.5 inch lift + ~ 1.5 inch radius diff for bigger tires. To be honest man I don't know. It fits in my garage just fine and I just stayed in a hotel this past week and it fit in the parking garage. I wondered if I was going to clear the "clearance" sign but I did

 

Added new pics of my N-FAB tire carrier on first page
