Windigo build thread

So I don't have a print out but my alignment came out to be
Caster 5 degrees positive
Camber right front - 1/2 degree
Camber left front +1 degree
All this was set to
Tacoma 2012 Access cab MT 6spd long bed
My truck is a 14 but so many options on alignment machine...

I'm posting this because I don't want to forget it.

 

Swetting like a pig put the inside on the outside on 3 tires. good times

 

Lots of work happening! Looks great!

 

thanks I've had enough to be truthful.. tomorrow get the tires balanced then some basic maintenance stuff and then see what to do about rubbing on control arm then..then.. then... never ends

 

Hear ya. My 35’s are still rubbing so seeing your firewall work has me thinking. Will see though. It can get old constantly working on it instead of using it.

 

yea the fire wall work.. what a pain. now I know why the fearless leader uses a big sledge hammer

 

I may get to practice on his before I do mine so there is always that lol.

 

Gatting balanced today

 

I just want to remember this day because I'll probably never see it again from totally full to half a tank.

 

Well it's finally on let's see what happens after the drive.

 

So good!

 

Looks like it’s going to be fun!

 

Just tying up some loose ends today

 

Steering stops because of my negative 6 had to cut the head of the bolt off to get more steering. A 1 inch steering stop is not enough steering this is roughly 3/4 of an inch and I can just get by with a right and left turn into my driveway.

 

Looking good!

why did you have to do the steering stops? I didn’t understand the”negative 6”.

 

My rims have a -6 offset so when I turn it hits the upper control arms. I thought about going to spacers but that means it would push the wheel back a bit and I did not account for that in my tubbing. so steering stops hopfully it will work for me.
Also steering rack right now fingers crossed it seem just fine not even hard to steer so hope it stays that way..

 

gotcha. Makes sense. Always thinking quick on your feet.

 

Not any build but want to remember what I payed for the IMS. Around the 1100 dollars

1. Reattached moulding under headlight
2. Secure windshield washer bottle
