What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

My thunk is when I’m on the brakes before a bump and let off just before the bump and coast over the bump and it’s usually in the compression of the suspension coming off the bump. Like slowing before getting to one of those speed humps seems to replicate it pretty consistently. And it’s definitely passenger side. I’ll see if i can get a video/audio of it today. Any idea what the torque specs are for the lca? Maybe I’ll just go around and recheck all the uca and lca bolts when I’m in there today

 

I now know how valuable those are. I'm running stock and they're done after this weekend.

 

Old pilot bearing was not damaged any way i could see when i pulled it and replaced it. It had a replacement at 200k miles and then i replaced it again at 245k when i did the clutch again.

 

Yea wouldn’t hurt to just check the torque, I marked my alignment tabs with a paint pen, loosened the bolts and jumped up and down on the truck to move the suspension a bit then torqued to spec. He torque specs are on the forum somewhere, I think I googled it and just directed to a thread on here anyways lol

 

Did some vinyl letter overlay. I like the black on red with a little bit of bling.

 

Like the comment !!

 

You got a thread working on this project?

 

Great job

 

Thanks Henri

 

100 ft lbs I believe. If it’s a LCA it is more of a loud click than a thunk - not being nit picky just trying to steer you in the right direction.

 

Nice much appreciated, now that you say that i vaguely remember doing that search a bit ago on here and coming across the thread with all those torque specs. So the interesting thing is it’s more of a loud click now. Prior to the mod i think it was more of a thud. Could have been a combination of both. We’ll find out shortly here. I’ll grab a quick before video also and hopefully a clean after vid

 

Finished cleaning out all my personal items so she's ready to sell... Sad day, but it had to come.

Picked up and hauled 125 16”x16” pavers to the house for a patio extension.

 

Used Betty to go get the Boat, really pulls it well. About 5k Lbs when it’s all loaded up.

 

Got new wheels and tires. Its a TRD whatabee.

 

I think you need your own build thread for this already.

 

Not yet. I’ll update my build thread with details at some point.

This gist of it is.....

5’ of 4” ABS. 2 end caps. A shrader valve. A boiler drain. 2” cleanout and cap. 30psi pop off. And a shower head on a hose.

Stole the idea from here

1st oil and filter since I bought it. Mobile 1 syn. And Toyota filter
120,558 KM dealer I bought it from 3 months ago did the fluids at least oil and filter. Goes in Tuesday to get the AC recharged

 

That sounds exactly like what mine was doing. I didn’t put lube on anything, but I got under there with a torque wrench, set it to 100 ft lb and tightened all four. Only one was loose (around 40 ft lb) sound went away after that.

 

I'm taking pictures and will put up a mini how-to.
