Sweet love slo mo shots

 

just picked up a grill off craigslist 30 bucks! time for the satoshi project!

​

 

Thanks for all that came out. Jim, Ryan, and Barry, thanks for the help getting the springs done.

John, Barry and I almost lost a limb doing your stupid "no compressor" spring removal. Im never taking your advice again...

Here's how she sits, gonna need diff drop





Oh, and FS: http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/1s...k-n-drop-filter-cleaning-kit.html#post5762229

 

to be fair, with the longer springs, it doesnt help.

 

Picked up my OME suspension this morning.

Need to get her put on tomorrow, good news is front springs and shocks are already assembled.

How hard is it to do?

 

If assembled, not hard. 4 bolts. If its the same as the 1st gens, 3 14mm bolts on top and one 19mm on the bottom. You might have an issue getting the longer coil pack to fit but I dont think you will have any issues .

 

So jack her up let the axle droop, undo bolts and drop out front and replace with new front?

 

I thought it was new! Claybar? Really?

I can't imagine first gens are that much different for the removal and instal... Dude... it was TOO EASY and safe... and done it 2X's in 2 weeks!!!! SAFER than Spring Compressor!!!!

BTW... Looks Good!

Hey Slimwood.... took the NRA RSO course today (passed!). Your clubs CRSO and our club's president taught it. I learned alot about Lafayette! Going to Costco in the AM. If I pick up your item... I'll PM you as I left my Cell at work. I doubt I'll go get it. : )

 

yepp, and looks better than the day i bought her made a huge difference too but anybody who knows me knows im super picky about keeping my rig clean.

 

Pewp

 

Thanks StAndrew for hosting the meet it was fun

 

Your truck looks good to

 

Thanks mang

 

hey, didnt u want my step bars from my truck? or u gettin sliders now?

 

Morning!!

So I was under my truck yesterday and my passenger side CV boot is busted and leaking all over the place. It isn't making knocking or making any noise so I am pretty sure it is just the boot that needs to be replaced.

My truck is a 2011 with 29000 miles on it so it should be under warranty...do you guys think the dealership will try and fight with me and say that my lift caused it? I don't think the lift was the problem with it because one side is completely fine.

Is it easier to replace the whole thing or just the boot? Anybody done this? How difficult is it?

 

I think it was the longer coil. Even at full droop the coil still had a bit of compression. We had to hammer out the lower bolt and the coil shot out the shocks. It was a pretty crazy day, lots of shit flying around .

Yeah man good to see you out there.

 

just curious and had to ask, do you offroad alot or did this just happen out of no where? my 07 has 65k on it and just put the 3 inch kit on it.....im hoping mine dont go anytime soon

 

the dealer will fight you im sure.....
i have over 90k on my lifted taco and im a bit over 3" up front...
still have no torn boots....
mabye you hit something
or post a pic of your cv angles....
cv's not hard to change...i have not done one tho so its hard for me to say
but i have seen others do theirs in under an hour
