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

I'm glad someone else said this. I've been wondering about that same thing. Can someone explain in reasonable detail the upside of shackle flips?

 

Viagra

 

Cake

 

It's an advanced topic in chassis design. This really isn't the thread for this kind of discussion. However, I'll say that, based on my research, IMO there is no reason to modify your shackles if you're staying spring above axle.

Here is nice thread on the subject: http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/newbie-general-4x4-discussion/596669-why-upside-down-shackles.html

 

I threw these Demello Dominator sliders at my Taco this morning. They miraculously stuck!

 

Checked today with the 4' and with no tuning, got 1.5 SWR

 

Man first guess!? howd you do it?!!!?

 

This shit happens all the time to me. I think heavy items make it worse, as I have major problems with the one that holds my trailer hitch.

 

I went all in,

Spray Paint

 

Mine would do that once in a while until I just made sure the phillips head screws on the metal latches were really tight. If they are a bit loose, that will allow enough slop in the latch to vibrate open.

 

Bend the tabs on the latches outward and they'll latch tighter.

Cured my issue immediately.

 

Those silver F5's though! Sweet!!

 

Thanks brotha, I do like the look of them.

 

Proved that it would fit in this parking garage in philly.



Having a truck in the city is great for the crappy roads, and going over medians to avoid going onto toll bridges by mistake

 

WTF? Cable tv in a parking garage? Guess it's a city thing huh?

 

Mobile Zombie Preparedness Mod. Yes, there are zombies outside of my house right now....

 

Yeah that must be a really rough part of town to have such a harsh movie like "Pretty Woman" playing on the parking garage TVs.

 

That wouldn't last a second around here

 

Had my recall done on monday and was worried because my overload leaf looked way too fuckin big ...but followed this

Installed the aal and I fuckin love it. Rides way smoother. I didn't end up cutting anything just bent the overload bracket to fit over the aal bracket
Thanks Wheelers offroad


My jack didn't reach the height I needed to slip the centering pin in so I just lay the axle on a block of wood and jacked the leaf
pack



I'll post pics of my sick ass rake tomorrow. Sun had set by the time i reinstalled the wheels
