Bobby's Build

Yes, I did replace it but discovered that my ball joint was not the issue I thought I was having. Turned out to be a loose spindle bolt. Toyota ball joints are amazing. I have over 70k miles without any ball joint issues. Granted my UCA is total chaos, however the lowers have held just fine. Believe me, I show this truck no mercy. I'm surprised the frame isn't twisted yet.

 

I use every ounce of what little travel I have... and then some

I'm going to that Barstow run in May. You coming Aaron?

 

barstow run in May? details please...

 

Your Mojave run.. Isn't that near Barstow? Maybe I'm confused

 

lol... i forgot, and i'm the one trying to put it together...haha

yeah, the starting point is barstow

 

Haha dam dude. Pass the herb.

Yeah man, the Murrieta crew is coming. It will be after a narly semester of college courses so I'm looking forward to it.

 

sweet! i need to bump that thread and start a list of peole going.

i hear ya, school is kicking my ass too... good thing i'm getting close to being done

 

I finally decided to jump on the bandwagon and try this wonderful, amazing, outragous product called seafoam. No I don't think my truck was running in anything other than tip top shape before hand. I just thought I'd try it for shits and giggles. I put a 1/3 in the oil, 1/3 in the tank, and 1/3 in the vacuum line. Than I waited five minutes like the can says and fired her back up.

My experience was way differen't from what I've seen on youtube. There was hardly any smoke; maybe about 30 seconds worth and it certainly didn't raze any brows from the neighbors. All in all I can't say much has changed. I'd LIKE to think that she idles a little smoother now but it's certainly not a big change. Given that the oil and gas will take time to work their magic, I'll report back in a couple days with a gas mileage results. At the present moment I get 18mph or just under. Mostly city driving and some highway.

Maybe since I always run full sinthetic and I keep the air cleaner tip top, there's not that much carbon....

 

This should add some strength and peace of mind




This is what they will look like after install for those that don't know what these are. http://www.chaosfab.com/product/accessories/05tacoma/59651-installed02.jpg

 

Finally got a nice set of seat covers. Love them!

 

Which camburg spindles do you have?

 

The first generation that were double sheer.

 

these?

 

subd! You need SUA asap!!

 

Yes. Those are the ones

Tell me about it. I just got some more chaos gussets in the mail today for my lower control mounts. Until I can afford the big stuff I'm going to make everything else as strong as possible.

 

Woah! You bent those!? That's crazy dude!

 

The face of the hubs are both resting flat on the table. The one on the Left is lower because it bent about halfway up the spindle.

 

this is what I will do to my truck. baby steps, but the right kind of baby steps

 

Haven't been on here in awhile. Made some changes since my last post.



Added glassworks fenders, Kings on all four corners, and roof rack w/ lights




Gusseted my factory spindles with ALLPRO gussets




Took care of the steering shaft/ column rattle issue by modifying the rag going. Didn't have to weld it either
