    I left my SPC UCA alignment at D setting as well.

    Maybe try a different alignment shop if they can’t figure it out.

    I’ll also add that you shouldn’t need to do the adjustments yourself. The shop you take it to will determine what adjustments are needed to give you the desire affect you want. They are the ones that will do all the adjustments including your SPC UCA settings.

    Just finished the 400 grit wet sand on my bed cover. Going to paint the new front fender, new hood, roof, and bed cover. Hoping I am happy not painting the rest of the truck...

    Forecast is for rain tomorrow morning. I have in the past taken advantage and wet sanded in the rain. Hoping to get 600 grit on bed cover and 400+600 on the roof tomorrow.

    Checked the crank pulley and top timing marks and everything lines up. So TDC is where it needs to be. I'll just let Brian take it from here once I save up the money to get it fixed.

    What are wheel liners?



    Regardless of all this alignment talk, if you want bigger tires to clear, the proper solution is cutting and hammering. :sawzall: Making your truck drive worse by dropping the caster is not the solution you want.

    Same, I plan on keeping my Tacoma as long as I can but next time it'll be a T4R or Cruiser. Maybe a double cab 2nd gen Tacoma since that'd still allow me the manual trans. But whatever it ends up being, it needs more cab space than what the 1st gens have.

    The Tacoma was the newest thing in my fleet, but oh well I have no doubt of my abilities to make any vehicle last. Hell I'm bringing one of the least remembered Z cars back to life and it was 32 when I found it.

    If you really need one, I can take a look in the pick'n'pull/scrap yards here in Denver area. Send me a PM as I want to just experience this process myself for the future when I need random parts.

    Yeah, I love my grab handle and don't want to give it up.

    I'm bummed the local Toyota dealer cancelled my order on those matte gray wheels - they look GREAT on our 1st gen silver double cabs!

    I have 12 of these wheels available. 5 attached to 265/7tR16 KO2's, 4 attached to LT265/75R16 Nokian Hakkapeliitta snow tires and 3 with no tires... @eon_blue

    NEVER!!!!!

    YEAH!
