Calling all Toyota owners in the Lynchburg and Charlottesville and surrounding areas!

X2 I agree or it could be that it was a RAV 4 setup.

Anyone else tired of all this damn rain? Everytime I have off it's raining.

 

I'm going to take the sway bar off today.

edit: so I attempted to take the sway bar off. I noticed that I didn't tighten the sway bar link nut all the way and the link keeps sliding back and forth through the spindle (this could be the metal noise I'm hearing when going over a bump). Now the new problem, the sway bar link nut (the nut the hand is holding in the pic, just added the pic for reference because I know some people come up with ideas easier when they can visually see something) seems to be rusted to the link that goes through the spindle. I put a hex key inside of it and a wrench on the nut to try and break it free, but the link spins with the nut. I soaked it in wd40 and waited about an hour and tried again and still no luck. I tried putting an adjustable wrench on the other side of the link to hold it from spinning but no luck with that either.

 

Acetone and ATF, 50/50 mix, let it sit for like 10 min and give it a second soaking for the same time then try it

 

Hey guys well life changing thing happened today not sure if everyone knew but I am now the proud father of a son. He came at about 11:50 yesterday night. I know have a Future Toyota Owner!!!

 

congratulations! nothing life changing happened to me today, but it was a pretty good day. we got tasked to clean out a bunch of old sheds in a motorpool. I came home with a shop vac, a small vacum that you can charge, a sledge hammer, axe, towing chains, tow straps, ratchet straps with 5,000lb capicty, 2 brand new tire irons, and a bottle jack from a humvee (which works a heck of a lot better then the bottle jack our trucks come with). Hopefully I can find some other stuff worth keeping.

 

Congrats man!

 

Thanks man and I've got the rest of the monies in my wallet for you and will be off for the nxt 2 weeks so I'll catch up with you.

 

Sounds good!

 

Congrats! Seems like you're going to be even busier now!

 

Congrats frank!!! Didn't know y'all were expecting??

 

Matt! I saw you on 33 the other day! I waved at you.

 

He was catching too much glare off that mirror of a hood

 

Is caster going to affect you that much if you aren't rubbing? I always figured caster didn't come into play until you were going really fast.

 

Matt what setting are the LR UCA's on now after you adjusted and where exactly are you rubbing when you flex

 

You should be ok with 2.5 deg caster and that will bring your camber closer to *0. Why 3 tho? Does the 2.5 setting cause issues?

 

I think you'd be fine dropping the caster to around 2.7 to get you happier with the camber if it would make enough difference

 

My alignment is slightly jacked up but it's like anything else when modding, need to find a happy medium that works for you and what you do.

 

This dude is a groundhog machine, 6th one this week, not his biggest, but a nice one:

 

Is Toyota not offering the Tacoma in single cab for 2015? The only reason I ask is because the shipping company that the Army now uses for vehicles has been losing vehicles. So if my truck gets "lost" I was going to look into getting a single cab then get the wife whatever she wants. Guess I'll have to consider getting a double cab if I decide to have offspring in the future. Thinking about taking off my wheel and tires and going back to stock, removing my wet okoles, cb radio, etc. pretty much anything I can take off the truck before shipping it. Possibly adding extra insurance coverage if they do lose it. That way if I get a new truck I'd only have to get a new suspension set up and stereo equipment.

 

^thats fuckin rediculous!! How in the hell can they "lose" a vehicle??!! I know they're shipping a lot of big stuff but seriously???!
