Charlotte, NC area: hate on OP, houses, boats & hoes

well my time is definitely worth more than what it would have cost a shop to do it, but i just cant bear to take it in

 

I paid to get mine done.

For me, i could prolly figure out, but if I dont do it every day- someone else may have more expertise.

 

it's not complicated, just getting those damn bolts off is a pain. after that it wont take 10 minutes plus bleeding them.

 

Well I am glad I am not the only OCD Tacoma owner, looking at LED interior accent lights and keep wondering in they will make the halogens look dingy. So now I'm thinking on about that I need to change the dome/maps too.

Then I wonder if the LEDs inside will alter the appearance of the headlight/fogs.. Now I'm wonder if I should do all LEDs in and out....


@Connormc11 And as far as brake lines go... I HATE BRAKES! Never can do work on them without messing something up!

 

yea not to mention if you round one off you are seriously screwed.

 

You are among like minded individuals!! This is where is all starts.

 

I rounded off 3 of the fittings and the other one stripped after it broke loose. I had to lower the gas tank and replace the hard lines along the frame. It wasn't very fun.

 

That right there makes me want to just take it to a brake shop before i have to tow it in. Because i dont have the skill to be bending new hard lines and flaring them. Im just so darn close i only have one left.

 

Hope all goes well!

 

Im letting the last bolt soak in acetone and ATF over night and then try and use a torch to heat it up some. If doesnt break loose then im going to take it in. Hopefully it wont cost too much to just replace those 2 lines.

 

sounds like you got it figured out. pb blaster once a day for 2-3 days prior in the future.



In other news; 485/85 split area here. Near Pine Island. Have a personal mod day coming up to put a lift on (5100's all around, AALs, ubolt flip+bumpstops, coils up front). Anyone who wants to join forces and get something else done is welcome. Doing the coil method involving using the trucks weight and a jack to decompress, not a compressor tool. (The tool looks a lot heck of a lot more dangerous than keeping the coil on the truck until its decompressed...)

 

That should definitely help. I didn't soak my fittings, wasn't expecting problems but Murphy's law kicked my ass on that task. I had no issues busting all the fittings loose on my 29 year old 4Runner

I might be able to help for a few hours depending when.

 

Looking like the weekend of 3/12. The AAL's have been on backorder, supposed to be in and ship this week. Will let you know when I do.

And whether it works out or not, thanks!

 

Ok cool. The gulches trip is the following weekend, so I may be busy prepping my junk, but we'll see

 

Sweet Success!








I will never take those SOBs off ever again

 

I said the same thing

 

This thread is picking up some momentum, i like

Good morning guys

 

Mornin . Finally started my taco rear axle swap on my 4Runner, had to cut off the spring perches so I can weld new ones on with correct pinion angle. Going to weld and paint today.

 

Morning all!

 

Morning.

I spent yesterday throwing a 2.5" spacer lift on my father-in-laws Tundra. Not too hard but definately not easy either lol.

Trying to decide if the 3/4" ToyTec spacer will give me the look I want on my Tacoma or if I should wait and look for a set of 4 used 5100s to put on it.
