What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Do the bolts too, I go over them here. Go to 4 min in the video.

Or... Does it go
Every truck is the same, yet they are all different

Hahaha..

I realized this with my first gen Taco. When comparing suspension.. all the same...and all different

 

It's stuff like this that makes this forum so valuable to owners...

Like really, would I have figured this out on my own if I did a suspension swap .. or would I drive on blown bearings until I got so annoyed that i traded in the truck.

Love this place

 

Awesome, thank you. No way would I have figured this one out on my own. I just ordered the bolts from 303. I don't seem to have an issue yet, but glad I ran across this.

 

I'm thinking the same...replace the OEM bolt for the bushing to have a chance at normal wear and tear.

 

I vote, neither one. But that’s just me.

 

Well, I have Fox coilovers with the spherical bearing. Probably not an issue with the normal sleeve and rubber bushing, but those misalignment spacers being 2 pieces seems to be the issue with that flanged OEM bolt.

 

Here's something else I've learned about noise coming from the front section.

Thanks Eric! @19cement4xor

can that bolt be used on all 4 corners?

 

Nope. The rear are different size. But they don’t need to be replaced as they are not shanked. They are smooth all the way across. I have 60k on my Elka rear spherical bearings with no issue

 

I ordered the same bolt’s in your video last week and installed them this weekend iv watched everyone of your videos lol

 

Had the OTT Tune done last weekend (lite/mild). Had a very enjoyable time driving the roads with the new found characteristics, driving from Anaheim to Zion and Bryce.

 

Nice. I had the same done and I'm in HB. You must have met Q. I have the same setting. Droves much better

 

are these yours?

 

Sorry, but when I saw it in YOUR truck I just haaaaaad to take it!

 

This looks like someone folded a mattress, perfectly, to fit in that cab.

 

Nothing crazy but got the stock tires switched out for some K03's.

 

Looks like a mattress sliced and folded. Ah, the good ole days.

 

Should be getting my VTAILS soon, and that means I am probably gonna install the back up(EDIT: Tag lights not back up) LEDs from the interior kit to match, but looks like they cause a glare, what are y'all using for glare blockers?? I have a SRD so not looking for TRD stuff, would look out of place, just basic..

Looks like sphinxbccp is still in the moving and setting up phase after 5 months, so no time frame from him selling again that I can find....nothing wrong with that btw, just saying life happens...

EDIT: Tag lights, not back up.. major brain fart moment...
