    How would you check them or even tighten them because it would make sense that they got mad messed up after slamming on the side of the truck lol

    Ain’t nothin like a Tacoma man haha! 5 people in the car, no bruises, 50+ mph, no frame damage, and I only had to un hydro lock the engine and get a door and some flares (which were already gonna go on!) moral of the story for me was not to be an idiot and overestimate mid travel in tight areas haha! Thanks for the thoughts!

    I'd check the control arm bushings and ball joints too.

    Glad everyone is ok.

    smashed this, broke that, covered it up with tape and paint
    Do you have a skid plate?
    If so
    Take it off and go see if you can still make the sound.

    My skid made that sound after messing my front end up

    Anyone know of a decent 30" combo light bar under / near $200? Budget for lights isn't baller level. $ went into better things.

    Did you understand that that the grease that came with your kit was intended for lubing the bushings and sleeves themselves during initial installation IE: assembly lube ?

    Very aware, also know how to read and follow directions. But still getting a squeak from them and also expecting they will need greased in the future like the directions said. Thanks though, great recommendation.

    Speaking of XLT kits


    Who is running one still now that the Dutchman sold his rig?

    And if so
    Do you guys have any pictures when you were chopping off your shock towers to install the hoops?

    I see nothing has changed here... only forum in the world that 80% of the posts are about long travel squeaking.

    Didn’t realize he sold although he had been back and forth about letting it go. Maybe I will get to see it down in southern az now.
