Old Man Emu: Questions, Answers & Pictures

I've got wood working tools aplenty here at the house, I lack the time.

The only reason I went with the width I did ( 16 1/4" ) was to allow enough room for the compact ARB recovery bag so that variable could change if you wanted

Joints are half overlayed , you can see better here

YOU ROCK!

 

If you have any questions , feel free to pm me

 

OZ,

Are you still sitting at 2.5" up front with just the 885s? I don't see it in your build but you have the LR UCAs, right? I'm getting REALLY close to pulling the trigger, want to make sure I get everything I need. I like the look of your lift, even without the cap bringing down the rear. I don't the back being a little higher. Mine would/should look pretty close, tires just a little smaller (265/70/17).

 

Is this absolutely everything that I would/could need (other than leaving the spacers out for now)? Do I need extended front brake lines?

Don't forget the bushings for the Dakars.

 

Toytec sells the kit with all the bushing I need from what i've seen/read.

 

Didn't see them called out like everything else. Just wanted to make sure you weren't stuck f'n around trying to reuse the old ones instead of easily sliding in some shiny new ones.

 

Here's the note on their website:

NOTE:Complete OME springs include bushings and U bolts and are priced with additional spring shipping included to the 48 states, Alaska and Hawaii will have additional shipping due, we will contact you with the amount due.

 

Looks like you're good to go

 

Front brake lines recommended, not necessary.

Bro, you're going to love your truck.

 

Make sure they add the OME 5mm trim packer for the driver's side

 

Cool, thanks! I found an Army guy at work to help me do the install! I really did! haha Saving the $500+ for the install cost is really pushing me towards going for this.

 

Yes on both

 

Yeah, if you click on the link for the kit, it lists the trim packer in the details.

This is what comes in the lift kit itself:

- (2) Front OME 90000 sport shocks (Replaces the OME N140S front shocks)
- (2) Front coils-
Choose from options:
885 coils for D-Cab and additional front weight
- Complete OME Dakar rear springs with bushings

- (2) Rear N182 shocks
- (1) Front diff drop kit for 4x4 models
- (1) OME trim packer to be installed on the driver side to help level your Tacoma side to side.

 

Thanks for the heads up. I'll throw that onto the order too.

 

so are rear extended brake lines needed for the AAL?

 

X2, not sure how I missed it.

The Army is always saving the AF or Navy... And helping the Marines by giving them all of the run-down out-dated equipment we don't want.

Just do it, sheesh.

 

You have sport front shocks which are the newer ones, but for the rear you have the older shocks. They are valved differently are they not?
