2wd BS and SoCal meet ups and Tacoma fun

Happy Birthday bro! Pm’d you back. I have you on my waitlist for sliders. Hopefully move you up onto the order list here really soon!

 

Thanks brotha!!

Is coilovers and arms an easy install job? I’m debating renting a lift and knocking it out myself lol

 

I would say yes it's pretty easy. I have done mine 3 times on just Jack stands and a floor Jack and minimal tools twice.

 

cake!

 

Sweet guess I’ll save some money and do it myself. King out of the box do I need to adjust anything?

 

Probably preload the driver side about 1/4 to 1/2 inch if you want to compensate for taco lean.

 

Thanks! Looks like I'll either be doing this tomorrow or sat.

 

Honestly the biggest PITA when I did mine was the fkn long bolt holding the UCA on. Bend the fender sheet metal & use a hammer on the bolt head to drive that pig out.

 

That’s what I keep hearing lol. I really don’t want to bend it but I guess I’ll have to.

 

You have to as far as I know.
There really isn't a way around it unless you like broken cut up hands and fingers.

 

Took a cutting wheel to mine which took about a minute and then simply put a new one in reversed order- no bending etc...

 

Did you get the new bolt from the dealership?

 

It's been awhile but just went back through my Amazon orders and actually did order it online. So my previous answer was wrong

 

That's the other option, chop off the bolt head & drive it out the other direction. Replacements are about $20 each at the stealership Or get it quick & cheap with Prime

But honestly, it's just sheetmetal that's buried under the hood in a spot not a living soul will ever see, especially if you bend it back more or less straight.

They are in La Habra/ Brea area. super cool peeps.

 

I’m doing it myself tomorrow, probably just bend back the sheet metal. Make it easier if I ever have to take it off. How much grease do I need for the zerk fittings?

 

Not sure on amount. Leave them loose, put grease in until it oozes from the sides then torque them down.

 

Thank you. Any particular kind of grease?
