2nd gen tacoma 3link

Thanks. It has been a great process. When I started I didn’t even know the difference between a panhard and a drag link.

 

Sub! Awesome work OP

 

Awesome work.

 

Just ordered parts for the steering column linkage. I bolted up the new t-case and now need to finish the crossmember. After I do that and get the steering connected I can take it to a muffler shop to do new exhaust. Piece by piece.

 

Are you gonna add a ram assist? And throw a steering quicker in while you are doing the column, you will thank me later!

 

Yes I am. What’s a steering quicker. I’m assuming it makes the steering quicker lol.

 

I like this. I can mount it on the back side of the shock tower because I needed at least 3 joints to bend around the tower.

 

That’s exactly what I’m talking about, it’s amazing in the rocks especially when you add a ram

 

Did you go 1.5x1 or 2x1

 

Will the fj80 allow 8" of travel for the ram assist?

 

1.5-1 cause I still drive it on the street

 

awesome build! the truck looks great, cant wait to see the finished product.

 

With the Slee off-road steering arms it should. There is a little adjustment in the heim ends too.

 

Worked on my center console this eve.

 

One of the better example I've seen. Most bros just hack the shit outta the console, nice work

 

Super clean... I’m loving it

 

I have to offset the twin sticks a bit to get them to spot correctly through the pencil holder. I made some offset bars drilled and tapped so the can be removed easily for maintenance. I also got some steering column parts in the mail today. I originally ordered some borgenson steering joints and shaft but they were pretty pricey and I ordered wrong. I need to go around my shock towers so I went a bit different route and threw in a 1.5:1 steering quickener too. Hat tip @81Trekker. I reordered different ones which were cheaper and serviceable if you need to. I went with a classic performance products
1@CPP-UJ10 11/16”36splineX3/4”DD for steering wheel to 3/4”DD shaft
1@ Howe 1.5:1 steering quickener mounted on back side of shock tower with a
CPP-UJ5 3/4” 36splineX3/4”DD on each end
And I am repurposing my original linkage off the colum to come to from the steering box to the 3/4”DD shaft.

 

I finally finished my tcase crossmember mounts for the FRO crossmember and can now move my truck around. I still have to mess with the twin sticks and getting the ADD wiring figured out.one more check off the list.
