Ugly Gold 4 door Hoor SAS-LS

what? The auto zone pump? Lol

 

Made a revolutionary discovery the other day too! Lol. The front axle is kind of pretty and I didn’t want to paint it black. Gonna flap disc it w 120 grit and clear coat it with this shit. Same w rear tubes. I’ll have a California axle!!

 

@malburg114 so, I put my axles in the front and rear for the first time to get a real accurate wheel base and I’m at like 127 or a bit past and they were set full bump to rub firewall wheel well.

I know our leaf mounts are a little different but what is your wheel base at?

 

This is how you get your kid to watch you work on a truck. I use this 520 lift for everything!

 

That square tube up front running parallel with your axle; size and thickness?

 

All the frame stuff I did is 2x3 1/8 wall.

 

I measured it but I forget what it actually is. Mine is 128-130. Closer to 130 from what I remember. I had to push my front axle pretty far forward to clear the ac pulley though. Tire rubs the corner lights at full flex so I had to cut them out. Rear is pretty close to stock location.

 

The ls3 water pump. Modification to make it fit well be hard. Document everything very well so you know what you did

 

ok cool. Cause I’m seeing people saying 126.5 which is what I thought I was but when I measured accurately it was an inch more and I think I gotta go a bit more to clear rear well. I’m same up front. Gonna have to cut that whole corner out. Just remeasured at where I’ll prob stay and I’m 127 1/8.

Yeah, prob do a little guide cause nobody said shit about all the problems I’ve had. Also didn’t know that NOTHING on a complete engine works. Get a long block and be done.

 

Got the Panhard back on. A little fab but worked out well w truss.

Looking like 24.5 at c but a clean 5 under tire. Once I get a new pan it’s gonna be another 1 inch for sure so it works for me.



Still have a finger on the highest Panhard notch and pan is 1/2” clear.



Only place I’m hitting is on this bullshit stand but not ready to move yet till I finish welding steering bracket.

 

Finally!!! Can put case on and get shafts! AA makes nice ass shit. They package it proper and even have a sweet new sticker. Good product.

 

No shit, that's close to me.

 

Seriously! Everything is close to you! Cali life!

 

I got your pm as well but set the frame on jackstands at the frame height you want. Then either put the tire on or measure and place the axle at whatever it’ll be with the tire on (40 in tire; place axle center at 20 in) and then measure your shock shaft showing. that’ll give you your uptravel available from the shock. Then it’s cycling to make sure it doesn’t hit anything.

that’s what took me so long was getting shocks to clear steering, steering to clear the oil pan, etc. I wouldn’t necessarily measure off the tire because the tire can fluctuate based off psi and tread depth. I did all of mine without the tire till I put the fenders back on to make sure they didn’t get into the hood and trim fenders.

and I wouldn’t fret to much over the wheelbase. It’s going to be long vs a standard 4 door jeep. I’d worry more about approach and departure angles and getting the front frame section as high as possible. 130 in wb is long to wheel but once you figure it out, it’s fun and super stable with the big axles. And on a 4 door Tacoma there’s not many ways to shorten the wheelbase because it doesn’t have the front bed section you could chop out and move the rear axle foward.

 

ok. That’s how I have been doing it so far. Measuring w out tire on at hub. Hoping the shocks are not too big of an issue. I read a thing fox has detailing install and measuring compression properly minus their washers of 5/8” I think it was. Seemed pretty straight forward..

 

Useless stuff I don’t need.

 

Wanna part ways with the High pressure side hose with the red clips (if in good shape)?

 

come get any of the fuel and evap shit you want. Otherwise it’s going to the scrap guy next door. All nice California condition too. Unless you just need that 12” line. I guess I could send that to you. Pm me. I have a shit ton of crap I need to get rid of and you are not that far if you wanna make a trip up here.

 

3 jaw vs LS pulley w heat.
