Northern Virginia Roll Call

One of my fb profile name legit looks like a greek/ russian name lol

 

Well make me one and give me the PW lol. I'm pretty sure some of the 120+ people I laid off last year reported my old account and it flagged my email address maybe

 

Dude, just use the name Robb Yotatoy or something. If you really need me to make you one, next time I see you Ill do it lol

 

Lol I did Robs taco. Like I said I think my email got flagged or something it won't let me on IG either. I don't really care that much. I was just doing it to keep up with the RVA and cova groups. Had a massive meet up top meadow last weekend. Seems like good people.

 

Pretty sure Im in both. So many fb groups though shit gets lost

 

Everyone keeps telling me to do it, I've never heard of it till recently! It's on the list. I replaced the rear sway bar links today. Old ones were oozing.

 

But you didnt want to pull LCA cam bolts? Just kidding, i get worn out too. Luckily this week hasnt been too hot

 

I did end up ordering the parts for the LCA Cam/bolts.

 

Are your cam bolts seized?

 

Don't know yet, but it's a Toyota with 80k~ on it so I just assumed they are.

 

Do you have new LCAs or bushings? The cam bolts usually seize to the inner bushing sleeve, so kinda takes them out too. I did mine last summer, so let me know if you have any questions

If you have to cut them out, use Diablo Speed Demon Carbide Blades for Thick Metal in a sawzall. The material used for the cam bolts is really hard and will eat up any regular blade

I've also got a little writeup on replacing my cam hardware and LCA bushings with some pictures: These are mine with 208k on them lol

 

Mine don't LOOK bad, but who knows. It's a fairly clean vehicle so here's hoping.

 

those look mint to me. Mine were pretty crusty lol

 

Im about to take my Bison stop cams out. Want to put in Taco tabs

 

Nice. I got new OEM cam hardware when I did mine, since I then only had stock UCAs and no lift. I haven't had them knock out of alignment yet, but I do probably need to reinforce the tabs

 

I have TC reinforcements, and Bison stop cams - that I won. But I think I like the taco tabs better, so I may put my stock ones back in, get an alignment, and then order taco tabs.

 

I have marlin cam tab gussets, they are beefy as hell. And I actually got them in a reasonable amount of time

 

Im going to pick up a set of the Marlin gussets, but mainly for the LCA mount, not for cam tabs. I think they would work together ?

Also going to use that as an excuse to get a Milwaukee right angle die grinder

 

Those are what I'm looking at getting

 

are they different for Tacoma/4runner? I could split what Im picking up, if I dont need them
