Me doing it, 45 mins. I consider that fast.

 

That is pretty fast haha. I normally take an hour or so. Might be faster now with that lube you showed me

 

Honestly its a pretty brutal task putting together these beadlocks but I can do all 4 straight in 4 hours. It's the torque of the bolts that's so tedious and will drive you mad. I hate it so much that it's just easier to get it over with at the same time.

 

Wow haha. I've heard they take forever from the Jeep guys but damn that sounds awful

 

What are the torque specs?

That's why I was asking about torque specs. Seems like you could use those on everything except the last tightening, and then torque them all by hand once. Might get you down to 30 minutes each.

 

Yup, my dad used to use these on lug nuts when he was in automotive. Says they get pretty close, just not good enough for precision stuff like differential work

 

Torque specs for me are 18v small impact and go till she dont go no more lol. Having a nut on the back side vs threads in the wheel is why we can Get by with more torque

I torque stuff in Newton Meters

 

Hello everyone, new here on TW. I live over in Ashland City, TN, roughly 30 minutes from Nashville. I probably will catch some flack for saying this, but I do not own a Tacoma but instead own a Gen1 Tundra. Hopefully y'all will allow me to tag along on some wheeling trips.

@TN_TacoSupreme told me I should provide pix (the black Tacoma is not mine):

 

WOOP WOOP now we have 2 first gen Tundras! Welcome!
Check it out @TundraLivesMatter4.7

 

Have always liked those trucks. Welcome.

 

Thanks! I have a growing list of things that I want done. Ended up giving in and ordered a Brute Force Fab Front Bumper last week.

 

Got the soft topper on. These things are a BITCH to put on by yourself.

 

I do it all the time, and so far I've only fucked up once.

 

I torque my lugs to 3 ugga ugga’s. You’re wild for doing that on a beadlock.
