Nathan's Long Travel Build

Thanks!

I did the retrofit myself, with the FXRs from TRS

Yes I only have 3 lug nuts on. I'm not really driving it yet so its ok... probably...

 

So anyway, took the truck in to get an alignment. Turns out a bushing or something is worn in my steering rack and the drivers side tie rod has a lot of play in the rack. And they just finished looking at it. Guess who needs a new rack? This guy

 

You can replace the bushings and tie rods if the rack doesnt have play. Toyota says you have to buy a new rack but Synergy and TC sell bushing kits for them

 

I guess ill see how it goes

 

Whatever the tie rod connects to in the rack, i dont know what its called, has a lot of up and down play. Ill figure out more later, and look up that kit. thanks JD

 

The inner tie rod?

 

i need to do that, my HID's are throwing light everywhere and it sucks

 

Whatever the long, geared rod that the ball joints attach to

I hear ya. I had HIDs in the stock reflector housing before, and even though they're nicer for the driver, they suck for everyone else

 

the rods are the outer tie rods and they attach to inner tie rods that you cant see.


and yea i have my headlights angled down to minimize blinding people

 

as for replacing the rack bushings... go with the TC ones. they're a little bit more firm than the wheelers ones. i've had both since being long travel, and the TC felt better than the wheelers once i got them on

 

takes one to know one jack ass

 

oh you...lol

mission still a go for late feb?

 

roger that

 

These bushings we're talking about, do they go on the outside or the inside of the rack? I know some go on the outside bolts, but for mine I can grab the tie rod and move it around inside the rack case.

 

You can't tell the difference? ... Bro... C'mon

Yeah my tie rods are loose inside the rack case, so...
