Just hit the submit button on a full OME lift w/ Dakars from Toytec. feelsgood.jpg

 

Went for an alignment...

Mount Bushing for the rack are shot and so are the lca bushings.

Grerr

 

We use one of those in work to change our oil in our company trucks. The no-mess way of doing it!

 

get the Steering Rack poly bushings from wheelers, they might even have LCA bushings too. I did mine about a month ago cheap to buy but they are kinda a PITA to put in but well worth it!

 

FYI, 4 Wheel parts here in AZ stocks the steering rack bushings

 

Once my tax refund check(s) get here I'm driving down to see them.

Feels real good.

 

prothane makes a kit that is stocked regularly by some sellers on ebay...I used that kit, and its great.

 

Already got the steering rack bushing from the dealership and a quote on the lca bushings. Debating wether to replacing just the bushing or the whole lca. There is a price difference, but a major convience factor to consider.

New lca bushings are $125 a side or a new lca is $200. If I just do the bushings I have to pull them and then have a shop press them in (a little more $). If I get a new lca, I can just straight swap them out.

 

Well today my battery died so I',m going to get a new one. At least it happened while I was home hah.

 

Wheeler's has a kit to do upper and lower arm bushings for both sides for 40 bucks. Here is the link.

 

Optima Yellow top!

 

dont do it...it requires u to save the outer and inner sleeves of the bushings. impossible to do with already used bushings. whey ruin new bushings? been down that road.... i bailed

 

Traded the Tacoma for an FJ cruiser. Was able to keep my wheels and tires.

 

i got the energy suspension bushings for mine recently from auto zone. got them quick unlike many places online who put me on wait for like 2 or 3 months. mine was just over 20 something bucks i think. worth checking out at your local auto parts store.

 

Pretty sick! Are you still making skid plates for the Tacoma?

 

Thanks, ill check it out.

 

My wife helping install my track system.

Her hands are smaller than mine.

 

Yeah, I am not getting the cheap ones. OEM all the way, only got 240k miles on factory. I don't want to change these again for another 200k

 

Has anyone here replaced their throttle cable?

Mine has no more adjustments left and is getting sloppier..

It looks pretty easy but not sure yet.

Seems like an OEM dealer only part too.
