JDawg562's Long Travel Tacoma

Awww yeah I know there are some vendors here that can get you 5lug stuff though. Probably after it stops raining we're gunna go. We'll probably get stuck right now lol.

 

Winter Big Bear Trip.

 

What's up man. I broughy my Boy Scouts up there and camped over the weekend. Some cool trails and stuff. Was super cold and windy at night though haha.

 

Dang dude I couldn't imagine camping in that! I rode my bike mostly off roading we only had 3 trucks mine(4 seats), a friends tundra (5 seats) and a toyota pick up (2 seats) with 12 people lol. So I took the short straw and rode my bike behind them I got soaked...

This was the day before we all took our trucks off road. I wanted to explore a bit.

I still got to get the rest of the gopro footage lol.

 

Haha yeah dude it was freeezing! Looks like fun dude! That's awesome! Few friends and i are planning another Mojave Trail trip in the middle of March. Let me know if that's somethinh Youd be down for. I think we're aiming for March 13-15.

 

Finally washed her down I honestly forgot how Super White was.
Installed new spark plugs (Was a pain in the ass on the driver side to get the spark plugs out...)
Changed Differential Oil.
Changed Transmission Oil.
Topped off all the Fluids.
Actually bought and painted my grill face(the white part on the grill). My old one fell off on the freeway after an off road trip R.I.P. Just that DIY satoshi grill you know. lol. I used the wrong adhesive I guess.


Bought a Fish eye from my iPhone


I think I might debadge my tail gate too. It looks like a billboard. "Toyota, Tacoma, PreRunner, SR5, v6" to much going on.

 

looks good.

been meaning to rino lining my bedsides on the sides and up top

 

lol it's Plasti Dip! Shhhhhhhhhhhhh, but yeah I'm going to throw some bed liner on there I like the way it looks.

 

Going back into my Prerunner Funds!



Not bad for my day off work!

So after selling these I basically got my Fiberglass bedsides for free!

 

Pulled the stock exhaust out and cut it

Took my welder out.

Clamped and welded it. Welds look shitty, but it wont leak! lol

Ran to NAPA to buy the exhaust clamps.


I did everything in 2 hours including running to the parts store!
I still need to buy real exhaust hangers to weld on and I sold my stock Lower Control Arms today too! All this after I got off work at 4:00.

 

Just little sound clips

Thanks! I checked your build on Friday and I coulda swore those pics didn't work lol

 

lol they probably didn't.

I made a Facebook for my truck so I could upload and help keep track and use it to upload pictures, but I found out that facebook keeps changing the URL of the images so I have to keep on top of it. I rarely have enough time to keep up with it.

You can add it if you want lol. Here's one album and the other one.

 

UPDATE!!! 3/1/15

Girlfriend and I went to In-n-Out.


My new shifter.


The bolt that goes threw the uniball that holds the Lower Control Arm and spindle together was super lose. Well not super lose, but there was alot of play.


I think I'm going to debadge my tailgate soon. I just don't know if I want it completely empty or leave 1 or 2. Five emblems seems like to much like a billboard.

 

What's the story behind all the washers on the LBJ bolt going into the knuckle?

 

Funny I looked at your thread, my passenger side bolt that goes through the uniball on my tc kit always comes lose. I had a different grade 8 in there and last weekend it snapped in half because it was loose again. I replaced it with the right bolt form total chaos, still coming loose though.

 

lol I bought it all used so that uniball conversion is from All Pro I believe and the other part is from Total Chaos. I re-used the stock bolts and they are too long for it and the holes on the uniball to spindle don't line up either so I need to bore out the hole a bit with something. Basically I put everything on and built a bumper in 6 hours with minimal tools and having no clue what I was doing.

It's on my to do list for sure just not sure how to tackle it with out a drill press.

 

Yeah that thing was super tight when I first put the kit on. My dad said maybe I should try some lock washers.
