Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Have you trimmed the front lower part of the fender liner that hangs down? sounds like it is only rubbing when front is compressed under braking. I had to trim the front of liner that hangs down, will submit some photos for you ,if it looks like it will help.

 

Happens when front is compressing while turning.

Going to go out in a couple mins to turn the wheel and jack it up with my high lift to check for rub points.

 

Compressing and turning sounds like you're hitting the back of the wheel well.

 

Possibly, I just can't see where at the moment. After lifting up the driver front wheel I am shying away from the UCA issues. And leaning towards the rubbing on the front fender well.

Maybe putting on my front bumper will fix it

Side note. Doing a diff breather relocate next to the filler cap + camper shell is turning into a 2 man job. So I am waiting for my neighbor to get home to hold the breather while I push the hose on.

 

Most of the time it is the tire hitting the cab mount and occasionally if the tire is large enough it hits the frame underneath the engine when locked and compressed.

 

Hey guys I need some help. I thinking about getting rid of this spacer lift I got and getting something different. I'm thinking about going with something like these?

Are these good options?

 

Do you think that I would need to change out my rear shocks as well? Right now I just have the stock shocks with a AAL.

 

Thank Jay

 

I went with option 2. I have a Dakar leaf spring and did not change the shocks (yet).

 

Saw a first gen come through work today anthracite wheels and supertop stood out the most. Talked to the guy but have no idea what his username was.

 

For $820 I would go with something a lot nicer.

 

Hey guys( & gals). Hope everyone's having a good week. Been in and out of the country lately and haven't been home much. Hope I haven't missed out on any meets or anything crazy lol..

 

+1. The toytec coilovers are just a 5100 with an eibach spring and a pain in the ass to adjust system. They gain you nothing but the ability to adjust to odd heights. Better to spend a few more and get real adjustable coilovers.

For $820 you can get SAW 2.0s

 

Loaded up and headed for the hills!

4 day camping trip (or overland expedition if that's what we're calling it these days ) headed to Gold Lake/Squaw Lake, by way of Sierra City, Sierra Buttes trail, and out Gold Valley trail.

Fishing, hiking, 4wheeling to follow!

Woohooo!

 

Sounds awesome, let us know how it goes. I just got back from Kirk Creek over by big sur..only a weekend thing but it was fun

 

the after caster split is now off. the before caster was already on point i wonder why they adjusted it? caster split should be no more then .5 and caster usually pulls to the side with the least amount of caster

 

Damn insurance company wants to fix the truck! 6500 in damage, i thought they were gonna total her out!! GRRRRRR!!

 

Push for total!!!

 

It's cause Tacomas hold their value really well. If it was another make you'd probably have a new vehicle coming your way.

 

Anybody on here abalone dive?
