Reds rc beater rebuild

I will say everybody gripes about their new springs squeaking but they don’t make any noise on that rc something squeaks in the front but idk what, I’m gonna put some aftermarket upper control arms that’ll make um ride a lot better.

 

Shhhhhhhh don't tell some people you ordered one from the factory they believe Yota doesn't do that.

 

Let me know if that fixes the squeak. I've always assumed that it was the upper control arms.

 

It’ll prolly be after I get that bumper, I’m guessing it’s that or a bushing in the lca. I know when I did uca on my other truck when you hit a bump it didn’t go all over the place, I’ve got some low mile ome shocks for the back may put some new coil overs on the front.

 

No updates lol was gonna do the trans oil tonight but my household generator starter was a lot more difficult, then it was still turning slow and the battery is hot idk what else it got to just clicking maybe solenoid went out. I have been putting the miles on the rc though!

 

I'm jealous. I'd love to have a RC. There's just something classic about a RC truck

 

That little RC has many more miles to come! I finally got my DCSB/OR yesterday... let the mods begin!

 

Yea this is like an updated more powerful/comfortable version of my 92. Made me realize my true favorite Toyota is a 4cyl 4x4 5speed.

Lol yea it’s probably earned a spot by my 05 till they both die, gotta see some pics! You get those tags?

 

I did get the tags. Thanks! I'll post some pics and start a thread soon. Even with the off road package, it's going to need a lift and new tires. I'm going to put an ARB bumper and a winch on this one too.

 

Good deal! Yea man I like my lift I’ve got on my dclb it’s kinda 50/50 I’ve got king coil overs and dobinson rear springs/shocks. Get some upper control arms too you’ll be amazed how much better the ride can be, I love the look of my arb bumper but get heavier coils to makeup for the bumper/winch. I recommend you get some skid plates too you beat on the factory ones and their a soda can

 

Excellent idea! Some armor underneath is certainly in the future.

 

Where’s the pics of that thing at?

 

Got the rear diff tcase changed with just regular old valvoline 75w90, the trans got some redline mt90 made it pretty smooth. Found the caliper hardline bent almost flat against the caliper may try and repair that tomorrow.

 

Just ordered the https://eastcoastgearsupply.com/i-8536125-toyota-8-clamshell-bushing-eliminates-needle-bearing.html second one of these I’ll have done got a touch of an axle seal leak so this is probably the cause.

 

Here's a pic. Only mod so far is the bed mat that everyone likes. Trailer brake controller is next, then the lift.

 

Well had some crown brake lines meant for the blue truck but that lil s hardline by the caliper was almost broken so I decided to fix that before I drove it this week you know needing brakes and all .

 

Heck yea looks good man! Yea I do like my bed mat, may have to find a sale and get one for this truck. You already got some mud on the tires dig it, what size camper you gonna pull?

 

Ended up having to get a new caliper after that ease out broke the mechanic at work helped me drill it and drilled to far so new bleeder screw wouldn’t stop the leak. So that and some new ceramic pads and crown brake lines and she’s back on the road.

 

Got the ecgs bushing and seal oil and an axle ready to go in just gotta find some time.
