Tacoma World acronym list?

Ok so maybe this already exist but I am a new Tacoma owner and enjoy looking at the forum several times day. I often see acronyms in post discussing retrofits, Overlanding, suspension etc. and always scratching head . If this exist please share. If not can we create one as a sticky for the newbs (me)?

 

Acronyms are learned as you go along. It was the same for me when I first joined. To be honest there’s so many variations that compiling a comprehensive list would be a task. Even then, people will still use them wrong.

Most of them are common internet use and can be googled, but if you see something you don’t know the meaning of, feel free to ask.

Go ahead, post a few while I’m still awake and I’ll translate.

 

Maybe post up the acronyms you want explained.

UCA/LCA: Upper/lower control arms
LT: Long Travel
CMC: Cab mount Chop
CV: constant velocity axles and driveshafts.

There use to be a drop down link to a glossary, seems I can't find it anymore.

 

Nice!

Also add this important one...

TROLLS: members from any gen who come here with no other intention but to stir the pot with shit posts

 

Shouldn't the third gen be an SR6 then?

 

ORS - Offroad Sport - what is that blasphemy!!! Us Sport owners will NEVER and I mean NEVER be as cool as Offroad owners

 

You can say that again!

 

At least you can be honest with yourself. Now if only the TRD PRO guys will finally admit that also

 

Shouldn't Add-A-Leaf be "AAL"?
If an axle propels, isn't it called an "output shaft"?
What differentiates a driveshaft from an output shaft?
Maybe: DS powers a differential (or other gearbox)
And: OS powers the wheel & tire directly
