TacoMX's 1997 Taco 4wd Build

Grade 8?

 

Yes, he only uses the best of everything for his kits... Iirc he has better than grade 8 bolts too

We went to lowes to get bolts but it came out to 56$ and some change and the RB bolt kit is $35 so he opted I go that route instead

 

Holy cow! $56?

I got all the hardware I needed from Ace Hardware for about $30. It was all grade 8.

 

haha...I see you already have a new cab and bed...but its not cool steel metallic

 

Will hafta scope that out

 

Going to organize this build thread here one day...

 

BUMP you've got a sick truck man! Love that front bumper!

 

thanks man!! Just took a few pics to update the OP with.

Still need to send out the 'hoes to DSM to get rebuilt, and should be ordering TG sliders this coming week.

 

Your truck is really sharp looking man

 

Hey man,

Do you know the length of that one metric bolt for the body lift removal? I found a parts breakdown for a 3" Body lift and it said it was 110mm long which is 4.33" so i subtracted 3" and and got 33mm. I ordered a 30mm and 40mm.

 

which bolt exactly?

But regardless...I got all my hardware by measuring the bolts and getting them 3'' shorter...should work.

 

Its the center mount on the bed. The only bolt that has to be metric cause it threads into a stationary metric nut. The reason im getting everything before is cause ill be doing it on a sunday so no stores open. Do you still a recept from it? lol

 

Haha...no receipt sorry

 

here is a little tip, don't buy grade 8 from lowes or HD they make a killing on it.
try http://www.fastenal.com/web/home.ex

or ace, they usually have better stock and prices
years ago i put a strut towe brace on my stang and new struts and I used grade 8 all the way, and some body bolts. but if i had to i could gave used a chain and picked the car up with the brace.

 

Are those Donohoes?

 

What's the height??

 

Yes, they are for sale too

 

Never got pics of the new 2.0 SAWs

Also added bilstein 5100s and wheelers 5 packs in the rear. Will get more pics and update the thread tomorrow.

 

Too lazy to update the thread today, but I did order some wet okoles!!!!

 

Wheelers 1.5" AAL to add to the wheelers 5 pack.

Also will have a big update tomorrow!!!
