What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Being that new I wouldn't expect them to be seized then. What leaf springs are you putting on?

I'm sure a lot of people on the forum will agree with me when I say this. There always seems to be a part or tool you have to go buy after your truck is torn apart past the point of being drivable. My motorcycle has gotten used a few times in below freezing weather to get to an auto parts store...

 

Alcans

 

I have a set of stock Shackles if anyone is interested. No bushings though. And a set of stock lcas

 

oh man!! wusup!

 

I bought the same kit intending to use it on my Expos. Found out that it's actually an OME kit, and that the major diameter of the bolts was slightly smaller than the ID of my poly bushings. Best I can come up with is that OME ships bushings with the Dakars that have a smaller ID, but I'm not positive on that. Thankfully the Expos came with bushings and sleeves that worked perfectly with the stock shackle. It's too bad, because that shackle kit is beautifully made. I'm running the greaseable main eye kit from Wheelers too, btw.

 

Send me a pm if anyone is interested. Also have stock skids, a rack and pinion and a few other miscellaneous parts left over.

 

She cleans up nice. Got to find some time to skuff and paint the armor before the surface rust settles

 

Plugged diff breather is what I'm thinking caused my axle seal to go bad. -280$ and another week without putting on the leafsprings.

 

Dibs on shackles

 

New shoes finally 295/75 ko2's

 

Like'em ...how's the rub?

 

As long as I don't turn all the way to lock they don't scrub

 

How about at full stuff?

 

They barely touch the frame

 

Yes, but what about the firewall?

I've also had to clearance the top of my fenderwell, and the front edge of the fender. A little trimming in the front edge of the rear wheel wells too.

 

Someone wasn't paying attention (she admitted it) and gave me a bit of a tap at a red light this morning.

 

Could be worse least she admitted it was her fault. And depending what she's was in she has more damage

 

Damn...now im getting a loud popping noise when turning left or right...my ifs skid is loose...could that be the culprit i hope...lol

Upper/ lower bj , inner\outer tie rods replaced in november of last year

 

I get a weird popping on compression on the driver's side front suspension but I'm pretty sure it's just a cheapo parts store LBJ going to shit. I'm gonna replace them soon with new Toyota BJs when I change the arms. You might wanna see if you have play in the BJs though

 

Check to make sure that there's no loose bolts as well
