What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

I ordered a set of retro head lights from LSC15.(I actually did the other day but forgot to post. lol.)

Here's what I ordered:
New headlight housings
Mini H1 projector kit which includes:
-h1 projectors
-mini Gatling gun shrouds
-35w ballasts
-igniter amps
-5500k hid bulbs
-controller
-butyl glue
Color changing halos w/ remote

Stoked. : )

 

It's been decided by TW that for 3" lifts that [0* camber, 3* caster, 0 toe] is the preferred specs. The driver camber isn't 0 "to hold the crown of the road" , and to adjust it further I'd loose caster, so I accepted it.

 

I'm running about 1.5" up front, what should my alignment specs be? Stock UCAs. I'd like to bump my 5100s to 1.75, and that'd put me just shy of 2.5 inches up front, which I'm not sure I want to do for alignment reasons and not wanting to get new UCAs at this time.

What's the most I can get from my stock setup, and what should it be, ideally, with said setup?

 

At 1.5 you should be able to get your camber a tiny bit closer to 0 and your caster a tiny bit closer to 2 than mine. Im at 1.85

 

This is from my last alignment, but my steering wheel feel ranges from normal to a little floaty.

3 weeks ago I installed a rear lift and haven't been able to get it aligned since that was done, but haven't noticed a change in driving.

 

I'm curious too cause I have a inch lift with stock UCAs and don't know much about alignment specs. I've got a long drive coming up in a month and figure i should align before I go. What should I request if anything

 

I just want normal drive feel back.. lol. I suppose my numbers are actually pretty good, unless I'm missing something. Alignment info isn't a language I speak, though.

 

Your camber should be much closer to 0, tell them you want 0 camber 0 toe and approx 2 caster. you should have more caster in the passenger side to compensate for the slant in the road.

I told him to dial the toe and camber into 0 and then from there get the caster as high as possible without affecting the camber too much.

The spec range for tacomas is huge imo, it may be in spec with those numbers that you got back, but that camber is too high and your caster should be higher on the passenger side than the driver side.

 

To give you an idea how far yours is out, look at the little black arrows pointing down. Yours are right on the edge of being in spec.

 

So the passenger side should have more caster than the driver, but both should be at 0?

 

No, camber and toe should be at 0 for both sides, caster should be around 2, but slightly higher on passenger side.

 

Thanks for clarifying, man.

 

OK....MOAR leds..........3 more strips added

 

Installed my OBA fog and zombie light switches. The zombie switch goes to my new LED bar mounted in the grill. It was NOT plug and play, for me anyway. Wound up having to practically re-engineer Toyota's electrical system to make the switch lights work right. Pay no attention to the construction residue around the zombie switch; it's a pretty clean install. Fog lights are off in the second pic; when activated the icon lights up green.

 

Just installed AVS in-channel vent. Always wanted one for cracking down the window without being really obvious or in the rain. Loving it.

Also got a N-Fab nerf bar. Does not hook to the frame but I love the look and the family would stop complaining getting into the truck. Both are good money investment.

 

Those vents and the weathertech floor mats are the best thing I ever did to my truck. I can't handle not having windows at least cracked so these are amazing.

 

That looks like a nice shackle.

 

Yes sir. I am thinking of getting a Weathertech or the Husky Liner. The stock mat is taking a lots of beating and its a time waster to clean (for me).

How is the Weathertech holding? Perfect fit? Heard around the forum saying some does not exactly fit or lift a bit.

 

My weathertechs fit nice and my carpet looks showroom new underneath. I've seen some guys not like the fit though.
