Save your money

A lot of dudes I know who have got this tune said it was a waste of their money

Roger that ghost rider

To clarify
Always liked total chaos
Did not like the non boxed upper arms (still think they should do boxed arms on long travel kits)

Had a second gen, loved it
Had a first gen, loved it
Traded my second gen for a turd gen because I was trading from a 4x2 into a 4x4, turd gen is turd (still gonna keep race truck building it)

Baja kits, I dislike them
I had bad experiences with their kit but mostly with their employee who was at the time the only customer service person, who has a history of treating customers like shit once their is no more money for him to make.

My apologies for hurting your feelings on your build. I like your truck.
And if you haven't noticed people bitch about things on my build constantly and tell me I should have done this or that, or "Bought a fuckin' turd gen, tried to make a race truck out of it, and now has a trashed diff."

That's the nature of Tacoma world.
If my comments bothered you, it would have been super cool if you had told me before you hit critical mass so I could have altered my approach.


As for the computer system at question, the argument is that it's decently effective for people who are stock or semi stock, but if you have huge tires or long travel suspension or a high lift or a combination of all 3
You are likely not to see improvements worth the investment this "upgrade cost"

 

Similar to my issue with my fronts. Those rotors were near "spot welded" on there!
2lb hammer didn't do it, the 8 did!

I also have more miles than you and a year newer I need to quit driving. Makes me want to take my drums off, or at least try, and take a peek in there.

Good work Matt!

 

Which of the fox front coils did you go with 0-2" or 0-3"? If 0-3", which UCA did you decide on. Finished installing my HD dakar rear leaf springs with an extra leaf yesterday, know I need to order longer shocks for the rear and was looking at fox 2.5" with the adjusters. Have you installed any of your fox shocks? How do you like them? As always, thanks for your sage advice sir.

 

Thanks sir. Where are the extended brake lines going?

 

Same. Lol

 

I also feel like this is a "need and should do" mod. I've put it off a while.

 

Looks like mine are just long enough when I had the struts off, and just the new leaf springs on, but just barely. Probably a good call to replace. Great work on your rear brakes. Let us know how you like the fox shocks when you get them in.

 

Do your light racing UCA's have the zerk fitting on top? Looks like they made a change to the equipment to keep them cleaner. Replacement bearings look like they can have that for like $75. Might be worthwhile when you get in there to replace your shocks.

 

Surprised you held out this long. You've been talking about those since spring.

 

They're the same ones Everett has that I will buy to replace when we get around to taking his LR uppers off and put them on mine

 

No worries. Thanks for suggesting them. They look the most cost effective and a more sealed design than some of the others.

 

Needing some parts?

 

I was hoping you were done with the rears and didn't have to get back in there again.

Good diagram. Useful!

 

Can go virtually any weekend, early am Fridays or anytime Saturdays. What's the chances you drag that 4runner down wit ya??

 

Will rent it, I'll reimburse you and return locally, CMC on the house.

 

@Jibbs is wanting sliders sometime soon too, might make the guns/Mods day happen after all

 

Not sure @presta24 . If just tell them it's not stock

 

I have a set of 5 used rock monster wheels for sale. I need to sell and want to unload for a fair deal. They are all in fantastic shape.
