SoCal Toyota Tech, Lifts/CMC/ECGS swap/Lockers/Welding/Bumpers/Electrical, Overland to Fast builds.

Thanks for all the awesome pics you took, was really nice meeting you and if you ever need anything in the future just lemme know and I'm happy to help! That was a long day, but really stoked everything came out very nice.
BTW I also cleanes all the rust off and heavily greased all the bolts, nuts and cam tabs for your lower control arms since they were starting to get pretty rusty, you shouldn't have to worry about that anymore. AS well as actually having true gussets to keep your alignment straight. I have seen a lot of them blown out like yours, been doing quite a few of those lately!
I've always wondered why Toyota does NOT grease their LCA cam bolts, they are installed from the factory BONE DRY! I think you are lucky you had that done when you did, if it had been much longer the front passenger cam was gonna be completely rusted together!

Total Chaos Cam tabs, they replace the factory sheet metal tabs that are prone to bend since they are extremely thin and weak! The new ones are literally 20x stronger, not the easiest things to replace but they assure the truck keeps aligned (granted nothing else bends!)

How you been buddy? Hope all is well with you!

 

Hey speed freak, I sent you a pm hoping to get some work done. Look forward to your reply. Thanks!

 

It is really nice!! I still have to roll on the ground for some things but I am really stoked on it! Helps so much so I can do some things while standing vs kneeling or laying on my back, especially when welding on my back and I can't escape and just have to take the pain since Im unable to move, haha.
Absolutely loving it!!! How are things with you?
And yeah Ill get some pics of how everything is looking currently, its coming along, slowly but surely. Next I need to build a small retaining wall inboard of the shop on the North side to keep the erosion from affecting things.
But overall super pumped on everything compared to the old place, I love it!

 

Copy that about to go through those now, Ill take care of you.

No problem my friend Ill help you get it all figured out!

 

I can’t tell you thank you enough. I saw all the work you did with the lca cams. Thanks!

 

Only pic I got of the lift

Sweet picture! Looks great @Speed Freek ! Is that where you had the footers poured for the posts of the lift or did you just put them in where they worked best?

 

No problem, yeah they are a bit time consuming to do properly but at least we know they arent ever gonna have an issues! Thanks again for choosing me, I really appreciate that!

Well I measured a friends lift to use as floor template, turns out his is much wider than mine, so COMPLETELY missed the footings, hahahaha...so much for that extra $500 of concrete! But the concrete is about 5" thick there so its strong, not to mention the lifts have large/wide mounting feet that really stabilize everything, really stoked on it!

I had a Tundra in the other day and holy hell that thing is tight, lol. I pretty much have to park toward the passenger side a bit if I want to get out not using the window! But it works great and super pumped I have it, just have to figure out where to set up the other one so I can work on MY projects.

I'm about to tear my Tacoma apart to redo the front end since with the LS motor in there its pretty tight, and I have had 2 sets of fans fail because of that, so I gotta move everything forward so I have space. I am likely going to take off the headers and make a new set so I can finally fit the turbo on it and start making some REAL power! Good times!

How is Nevada treating you @Drainbung Bob?

 

Good to hear, glad it's working out for you. That's a pretty funny visual of climbing out the window of the Tundra! We're really liking NV, plenty of trails just a few miles from the house we're you're out in the middle of nowhere.

Kass might have a trip down to Carlsbad over the winter, if that's the case I'm going to tag along so I'll be sure to swing by and say hi. Probably hit the Thursday night brewery tour while we're in town as well.

 

LMK when you come down and I’ll be sure to make the Thursday night meet up. Would be good to see you.

 

Absotively!

 

@Speed Freek just sent pm about some work on my truck looking forward to your response thanks

 

Jason by any chance would you be able/willing to come to Poway to work on a 22R? I installed rebuilt longblock and I cant get any oil pressure, and quite frankly I'm tired of working on this thing. I'm afraid the rebuilder forgot a oil galley plug and if so it will take me forever to figure it out!

 

@Speed Freek

Hello Buddy!

I got some time if you do! Just sent you a text. Let me know when you're free!

Best,

Officer Carpenter

 

Jason, can I pay to use your lift for a day?

Both my trailing arm C/O bolts are seized and it's hard to support 32" of travel to get them out.

 

Long time @Speed Freek! Hope all is well.

 

PM'd!

 

Hey Jason are able/available to do gear installs?

 

Another job well done by this man today @Speed Freek . Always a good laugh while getting some top notch work done.. thanks again for the cmc today! Will be back soon for the locker install. Until then, get that tractor tire fixed and put it to use! Haha.
