Tacokid09's Build

Your turn to come to the desert! I'm calling you out guy!
I thought you were going to get an engine cage too?

 

hahahaha you said you didn't mount the resi like mine

 

Right on!

 

Looks awesome Brian! might consider building my own hoop soon if it makes that much of a difference in the feel/handling.

I wish i could mob dez or pismo with u cali guys!

Everyones attending the second annual Glamis meet though right??

 

say the kid who is scared to take his truck to pismo anymore

decided to go with a hoop instead. wanted something that i could remove easily if the motor goes

pfffft, mine were like that even before the secondary hoop haha.

yep! or ill take my dads truck in

its amazing how something so simple can make such a difference.


When is that galmis meet?

 

Haha who said i was scared? Pismo is just not for me. It's way too small.. I like to go out and explore all kinds of new trails and different kind of terrains. I know you
The only reason I didn't bring my truck is cuz I'm in the middle of moving houses, my jack and tools are in the back of a moving truck, waiting to get to the end lol.

 

hey man.

 

i dunno if this is me or not, but does this picture make my truck look way bigger than it really is? im thinking its the angle and the fact im at the bottom of the drive way. haha.



other than that, here are a few little updates...

i went and finally got my backspacing on my wheels right. they were originally at 4.75 and now are at 4.50. now that thats fixed, the rubbing on the spindle is completely gone and im hoping that it helps with the tires rubbing on the bypasses. and may of you know that 4th of july is coming up. im gonna try and see if i can replace my front wheel bearings, TC lower cam tabs, rebuild my front shocks, repaint my front kit, and maybe if i have time, do the UCA double sheer.

 

guys does my driveway make my truck look fat? yes it does, good thing i like me a fatty.

 

DTF anthony and i took the front end apart on sunday to put the tc cam tabs in. let me tell you, every second gen should do this.

 

And every 1st gen too

Looks good B, a lil more piece of mind.

 

mmmmm beef

 

now im not so worried pullling the lowers off the frame

beef to the max

 

kinda a reason why i threw in the word "so" hahha. before the front mounts were already bowing back and getting pretty sketchy looking. needless to say, piece of mind knowing that those little 1/8in tabs that i used to have, arent there anymore

 

I'd recommend welding the inside of the LCA Mounts as well as they only come welded on the outside from the factory.

 

great suggestion max, thanks.

 

ended up replacing the driver side wheel bearing today up at Dirt Designs. it was pretttttttyy bad and i didnt want it to grenade out at pismo so better safe than sorry right?. We had a few troubles since it was pretty much seized on. had the grind off the second part of the bearing since we were never able to pull it off, along with the metal sleeve between the two bearing halves. just remember to put the 4 bolts back into the bearing hub before you press the new bearing on. we almost forgot and that wouldve been no bueno.

 

Who you order the wheel bearings from u just get toyota ones? What did they cost you, shuld prob change mine out haha
