Ryan’s 98 Tacoma build

This has turned into my build thread over time


Hello I have a 1998 Tacoma SR5 Manual with 316k miles on it. I am currently wanting to replace all the ball joints, tie rod ends, and the cv axles. I am looking for all oem Toyota parts and part numbers. I’ve used mcgeorge Toyota parts in the past but when looking for these parts several part numbers come up for these items. I can’t seem to find a definitive list of these part numbers on the site. Thanks

 

@gunny1005 will take care of you.

 

Go to toyotapartsdeal.com

 

Yes He Will and Camelback Toyota has very good Prices as Well.

 

Hopefully he sees this if not I’ll pm him

 

I imagine he will, pm wouldn’t hurt though, you’ll have to do that anyway.

It is the weekend though, and this is his job so give him a couple days.

 

I understand that! Not worried! I spend a lot of time on IH8MUD for my 80 series cruiser and dealing with the Toyota parts experts on there too

 

Pics or it isn’t real.

On that trip off-road a couple years ago in my tacoma I crunched the front bumper in ravine and then installed the trail gear front tube bumper with a warm winch. Well since I’ve started building my 80 as more of a dedicated dd/trail rig and my tacoma has just been a pavement pounder dd I decided to find a new front bumper and installed that with some new headlights. Looking good! Now to save for the front end work she needs

 

the V.I.N. (vehicle identification number) is EVERYTHING on Toyota's. You can usually look at a Toyota Dealers parts page online and get factory part numbers then cross reference. Sometimes it saves some $ sometimes it is a waste of time.

 

Well a year later I am installing,
Bilstein 5100 front shocks
OME 881 coils
OEM top hats
Moog upper and lower ball joints
Energy suspension UCA, LCA, steering rack, sway bar bushings.
Napa CV axles
Marlin HD shifter bushings
Amsoil severe gear 75-90 in transmission and tcase
Napa 80-90 gear oil in the difs
OEM Valve cover job w/ all associated parts
OEM timing belt kit w/ all associated parts
OEM radiator hoses
Coolant flush and filled with Toyota red

Probably forgetting a few things. But after 323k miles she sure could use a lot of love even though she didn’t really have any issues.

Maybe next month I’ll put some New leaf springs (Deaver 59’s?) and shocks (Bilstein 5100s) in the rear.

Pickle fork did most of this damage, it wasn’t this blown out FYI

 

Some new Yokohama 31s on 2013 Tacoma SR5 wheels powder coated black.
Just need to get Deaver j59 springs and bilsteins for the rear and she will be all good to go for a long while.
