Spoonman’s Little Tacoma

Nah. I’ve never been a fan of that.

 

Badass build, what’s your frame height at the doors with 40s

 

21”

 

Hell yes hoping mine will be similar

 

You should be able to get nice and low with the Toyota axle. With the big superduty 60 in front it’s tough to find room for it to stuff in the front but it works. Looks good

 

The red bed looks good. Are you going to leak the rear ever or just keep it leafs?

 

We’ll see, links would be a welcome upgrade. But leafs are working ok, and should hold up a little better with the traction bar in.

 

Well this was easy. Got the master and pedal in in about 30 minutes. Completely guessed on the holes and it lines up perfect.


I need to trim the brake pedal so I can actually fit the clutch pedal assembly in correctly.

 

You have a 5 speed??

 

I’m putting one in. I got my clutch this morning so I think I have everything

 

A few questions:
Are those 16" coilovers?
Did you end up sticking with the 150/250 rate coils?
What length springs did you end up with?

I have to admit, you have been provided a lot of inspiration for my ton-swap.

 

Thanks man.

Coilovers are 14s. The 150/250 springs have been working for me so I’ve kept them. I believe they’re 14”/16” long. But I’m not 100% sure on that. I let the guy at accutune do most of the work. He knew what he was talking about, I didn’t. I have a photo of the eibach part numbers if you have to know for sure

 

Naw, they wouldn't be the same, I have 16" for the front, but that gives me a good ballpark to go off of. I honestly have no clue what I am doing, so I'm just trying shit out. Regardless, tyty.

 

Anyone know if this is the correct depth for the pilot bearing?



It could go a bit further

 

I just pounded it in until it bottomed out, like the rest of life!!

 

Removed this assembly by myself tonight. No trouble at all.



out with the old


in with the new

 

I think @slander said it best. It will bottom out or "seat"

IIRC, the last clutch we did on buddy's taco, it was slightly recessed. Hit it with a socket hammer combo until you hear that sound of metal on metal violence.

 

Yeah, I usually like to go all the way in with it. But two people told me not to. I should’ve though. Too late now. Transmission pushed it the rest of the way in and probably fucked it lol.

 

IT MOVED




Under its own power tonight
