Bought some axles...sas coming soon

Do not sell your truck. Cool off and chill for a while. You have a ton of financial and sweat equity into it. You will never get your money back from it.

From my own experience, I had a a very, very, well built up 88 samurai. I went traveling, came back broke. I sold it! That was 10 years ago! I am still kicking myself. I loved that truck, even when I hated it or it broke.
Now what am I doing, researching SAC threads for my tacoma!
I had the the perfect truck once and I let it go.
Don't make the same mistake

 

Tripple face palm...

 

So did the align/balance help?

 

Going to have it taken up there either tomorrow or next week.

 

Well I was going to have it aligned today but the wheels I borrowed wouldn't fit over my front hubs and one of the rear studs spun in the axleshaft...I hate this piece of shit. I think its fucking cursed.

 

You have plenty more wheel studs to hold the tire on I hate my truck too but I still want to keep it lol

 

Mines cursed but I still love her Haha

 

Yeah i replace the stud and got a set of 36's to get aligned with...still hate it though.

 

Well I got it aligned today...it drives much much better. I got it up to 65 and no death wobble. I have to redo my air system though I blew an air line on the way back from the shop.

 

dude awesome!!!!!!!

Just more things i am learning before i lift mine so i can make it float like a cadi

 

i hear you on the burnt out thing.
my truck has been sitting for a year, didnt touch it for nearly 8 months or so.
finally getting back into it, man it feels good.
dont sell it. you will get your mojo back and regret it.

 

I am seriously considering trying to sell my truck and buying this. Fuel injected 454 th400 205case rockwell top loaders 44boggers. I am drooling over this one. Oh yeah the truck drives fine now just need to adjust my coil overs so that it sits level in the front.

 

As much fun and badass that thing is I think I'd prefer the Tacoma. Better gas mileage and street legal haha

 

Ok so I put my tires back on today. It does ok up to about 37 mph then from there to 55 the IT WOBBLES LIKE THE POS IT IS. However I did get play with it a little bit off road and it does exceptionally well. I drove it off about a five foot drop into a creek drove down to a sandbank turned around and drove back up the drop off almost without spinning a tire. It looks like it might be a 90% trailer truck. I dunno I might try adding some more caster and see what that does. Ill try and get a pic or two up in a little while.

 

Have u checked or balanced ur driveshafts? Usually vibes a starting at 40 and up are balance issues

 

Nah it's the same death wobble Its not nearly as bad as it was before but it's still there. Here's a few pics.

 

How'd you balance your tires? And what is your caster at?

 

Tried using weights and a balancing machine but we chased it around the wheel and ended up putting 6oz of balancing beads in each tire. Caster is set at 5.5-6 degrees.

 

Update? I hope you keep it because I don't want to think about that bad ass Tacoma not being in Milbrook every time I come up 65!

 

Yeah I still have it, I had a pinched o-ring on my rear end and it let a little water got in. Then I had to wait for new seals and bearings to come in. I more or less got the rear back together a couple of days age just haven't had time to work on the wobble yet. I also have something popping in my front end that I have to check out. Just haven't had a chance to get on it.
