Hello .. New to this forum "Tie-rod problem"

What is happening on top of your axle?!

 

Dude wtf ? The guy is happy with his truck. stop trying to be a dick

 

its called brake lines and all the wires oh and leaf springs and a block

 

i think someone has a crush on my truck he cant quit talking about it lol

 

Ooooh, you're so cute! Lol

In all honesty, I'm just screwing with him. I'm enjoying the fact that he keeps firing sarcasm right back at me instead of getting all but hurt. Dude seems alright, truck is still an abortion...

 

my truck is fine ass lol and yeah i dont stop ill keep on goin

 

I don't think it's a bad looking truck. I never understand why people put drop-bracket lifts on 4x2 trucks when you could get spindles and coilovers and still maintain some ground clearance, but oh well. I've heard questionable things concerning body lifts and such, but to each his own. I think with a new front bumper this thing could be pretty neat looking, but I've never liked Rockstars even in the slightest, but that's just me. My 2 cents.

 

Thanks
yeah im looking at bumpers and the rockstars are going when i swap tires

 

Quiet you.

More quieter, yoiu.

 

i'm not speaking of driving to the walmart like vin diesel in fast five :/

the situation i'm referring to is one where you simply must avoid an object or a person or an animal. if you had to perform an emergency lane change in that truck you would roll it for sure, there is no absolutely no way that a tacoma with a 14inch lift is going to be safe in these type of situations.


i'm not busting balls here you didn't make this lift you didn't buy it and install it blah blah blah but, its on there and you now are in control of it. some of the other chaps like jandrews and chris4x4 know their stuff buddy. don't feel married to this lift sometimes its a good thing just to step back and think about things in a different way. imo from a safety aspect alone i would sort it out before i was put into that type of situation.

fyi, if those guys told me my rig was set up completely wrong and where offering free advice to help me out. it i would say thank you i'm new to lifted trucks and i will look into ways to sort it out. i would then follow through with it and see what options where available to me.

just my .02

 

I appreciate the vote of confidence, but I haven't said peep

 

update on the tie-rod issue ... well there are 2 outer tie-rods for this truck a short one for the 5 lug model and a long one for the 6 lug model well the one that is on this truck is for the 5 lug model thats why it didnt work out right but the one that goes on my truck which is the longer one is a little too long on the female side so i have to cut it down just a little but it will work out perfect ..

$16 es80895 steering tie rod end for toyota tacoma

es80895 moog part number for 6 lug model .. es80941 moog part number for 5 lug model im going tomorrow to my dads shop to get the alignment and 2 new tires since the damn tie-rod being fucked up ate them up but no biggie tires wont be here till monday but im going to just do 2 of the same 38 toyos for now till i figure out what i want to change them to .. ill post pics tomorrow night also

 

just for his future reference i guess.

i found it a little difficult when i first signed up a few years ago to figure out who knew what they where talking about and who was fucktarded lol. figured i make it easy for him.

 

yeah

 

have you measured your ground clearance yet to the rear diff? i'm just curious i don't think i have ever seen a 37" tire on a tacoma at least not in person. i would have to imagine you have a decent amount of air between you and the ground.

 

38x15.5x20s lol ill go check real quick brb

 

High pinion Dana 60 would give him more, and it's a beefier unit which would definitely be a good purchase for this particular truck!

 

shit that would be a good purchase for any truck lol
