    My passenger side coilover bottom bolt where it attaches to the LCA is impossibly stuck... well not impossible but enough where an impact wrench doesn't even come close to budging it...

    It will be nice to see the parts on the truck and not just sitting there :p. Then we have to go test it.

    haha yeahhh... question for ya, is there anything I will need for the rear shocks? (ie rubber grommets/bushings/etc)

    I got the leafs all set, as well as the misalignment fittings for the coilovers so I should be set with those two. oh and am working on getting new bolts to replace the ones which will eventually be ripped out of the front lol

    Well as I kinda figured the Tacoma has gone into hibernation. Got washed and detailed inside just to get tucked into the corner of the garage. Bike is an attention whore.

    Rut roh. Hopefully not too bad of a fix Chris! I had my truck in 4 low in some wet grassy spots recently and I couldn't believe how much more binding than in high gear.


    I have a mall crawler.

    I didn't notice that to be honest so I don't think so. If the fenders were fiberglass they were color matched and I didn't get close enough to see in the bed. He was backing up (younger guy, mid twenties) to load some pavers or something into his rig. Didn't want to look like a total creeper to either him or my wife. She doesn't understand the Toyota thing even though she's in a highlander.

    It was a nice lookin truck tho that's for sure, I've always wanted a 1st gen but when it was time for the Taco I couldn't find one that I wanted for an everyday driver.

    Thats pretty normal really from all the torque in low. mine was poping and binding the front tires in 2wd and in 4wd I could barely even steer. Im sure there will be some broken teeth that are floating around in there.

    Ok, looking at a date of July 21 for a camping/wheeling trip to Rocks and Valleys up in Harrison. We would go up mid morning Saturday for some wheeling and then camp somewhere near that night. I read that they have some nearby rustic camping locations. Let me know what everyone thinks.
