    No, not my DD anymore.. Well it is but isn't. I picked up a cheap old beater Lexus SC400 that goes faster then I could try which was about 155 before I had to slow down and or crap myself. I do still drive it out to the desert and back though. She's never ridden on a trailer out to the playground and as helpful as it is if something breaks, it makes it way more bullet proof if I can go there and back for a whole season.

    What sort of geometry problems are you seeing?

    Your truck looks fun as it gets.... Love to see more video

    Slight toe in at bump toe out at droop. Cycling 15.5 bumped and strapped. It was going to positive camber at droop but maybe if I increase ride height and pull the heims in it won't do that?

    Tires scrub at slow speeds pretty bad, and I think the kingpin angle is weird not for sure though? And things in general we're rubbing when I had 6* of caster. I want to throw on some tundra brakes or something but I had to grind the spindle to fit the stock rotor already. Gave me a rusted uni no strike pad.

    Also main problem is a don't have power brakes most of the time, they stay hard and sometimes slowly soften, bad brake booster or possibly because the abs is partially removed?

    Definitely not because the abs is gone . Mines gone and have had no issues with brakes.

    Went out for a solo truck day run with my gal. Always bring a crowd when you jump the truck. Decided to hit Gas Dome jump during the day and was able to get some pics and video from an on looker.

    All about the DR deals! The brand new 3rd costs more than the housing, axles, hubs, rotors, drive plates, link mounts and even the calipers I bought for it!

    shiiit. How did it take so long for me to find this thread? You make me want to sell my 2012 and just go balls out in a real race truck. Mad respect dude, this is the coolest build on Tacomaworld so far.
