    I do like the 95.5-97 front end but I think I like the 01-04 front end more, personally :D

    Oh and the parts came up locally at a pretty good deal so I couldn't pass it up.

    I might have to wait before I put the leaf pack on :( I don't think it will have enough lift, so I'm going to order an AAL...but wheelers is closed, so I'll have to wait until Monday to order and prolly the following Monday to install.

    Another option would be to get longer shackles. I have shackles from Toytec that give 1" of lift

    sooo.... i took my tacoma in today to get an alignment done... the camber was out and noticed my tires wore way down on just the inside tread alot more... and found out that I needed new upper ball joints.
    is this a big issue to replace? pretty simple?
    stupid question I know but this is my first time dealing with them... BUT... are their different types of UBJ? i have a lift and aftermarket UCA's also so will the ball joint be the same as stock to replace?
    help me out..don't want my tires to wear any more than they are...

    I'm just givin' you crap.

    It's gonna be sweet looking. Anything is better than our 98-00 front end.

    Are you gonna paint the surround black?

    If thats a stupid question, then I'm a real dumbass for not knowing the answer. :D There are no stupid questions.

    I would try asking it in the Suspension & Lifts section. You will likely get a quicker response there as this thread can bury a post pretty quickly.

    what kind of UCA's do you have on your truck? Regardless, they will be different from OEM. But knowing the brand of the UCA's is necessary to know what replacement BJ you will need. Also be weary...I have had many alignment and tire shops tell me shit was worn out when it wasn't...Dishonest bastards.

    Nice...I love the way the TG low-pro bumper looks on the 01-04's.

    That bumper was my second choice behind the 4XI bumper I ended up with.

    Important to repa e if worn out! Get some moog brand bjs. As for puttin them in not to much of. Pita. Just learned how to do the lower bj and it's pretty straight forward. Basic mech skills not hard. Not 100% sur though cuz like I said I only know the lowers as of now.
