JD's '02 Tacoma Build

I did

better be the XLT kit

 

I saw it. 4x4 yota hub right?

 

I think Solo uses a Dana hub

Correct

 

this doesn't answer the question then haha

Custom kit with toyota hubs?? I hope you're not doing a 4wd conversion to manual hubs..

 

Esb kit??

 

It will be a 4wd-able kit but I won't be getting 4wd, at least not for now

Yes I still have a lot to do on the rear and Mike isn't quite ready so it will be a little longer but willing to wait

 

Hmm esb did make a 4x4 kit using those hubs.

 

Ha few minutes too late

 

Haha yup. He uses that IFS spindle and hub for 4wd and 2wd, I found an ADD set for cheap but I wont be using the 4wd anyway so I jumped on it and bought them. These wheel bearings are much easier and cheaper to replace and it all clears a stock Toyota wheel

 

..... i really need to link the rear first haha but mcm kit is next once thats gets going... if i ever do. kinda back into the lost interest phase. shocks are the biggy and i dont wanna put it on the card lol

 

Yup got a pair for $100 off cl a few years back. I just need to retrofit them to my kit.

 

Got the axle and upper links painted, hopefully installed brakes lines for the final time, finished the muffler, and started the fuel cell mounts

 

Lookin good!

 

Tough to paint these but I guess they don't look too bad

 

All about the angles lol, my prep for paint consists of about 10 minutes, and paint is all about prep

 

Just mounted 2 so far for the rear, going to test fit on the front but as far as I can remember I cant fit an OEM wheel with front LT. Anyone know is it the spindle gusset or what doesn't clear?

My plan is to finish the rear, then I can get my emissions done, put back on jackstands and tear the front end down. So I wanted to swap all the OEM wheels so I can sell the ones I have now, but obviously I cant do that if the OEM wheels wont clear and let me drive to get emissions

 

mmm you might rub on the spindle gusset. Shouldn't rub on the spindle itself though..kinda will also depend on the tire size you want to run

 

285/75/16. But looking at them I would say it looks like the spindle gusset will be the problem too. Just have to test and see, or just wait until the front is done to use those wheels

 

Nice what paint did you use?
