Sorry, one more question. The King links you purchased were these from Yota Garage, correct? Just seems sketchy as all get out. They're only $85.50 now but I can't get the page to fully load to even add them to the shopping cart.... Scary!
I looked under my truc
I looked under my truck and the sway bar isn't remotely connected to the panhard bar in any way so I can't see how your links would have any effect at all on the spare tire fitting. I'm not sure what I was thinking.... Good thing though, I can now order the King links...
Hmm. I have a LT255/80R17 (almost exactly 33 inches) mounted to the stock spare rim. It does barely rub with the KDDS relo, but I dropped the tire pressure to 20psi and it's fine outside of a squeak when the suspension flexes.
I wonder if the end links rotate the bar further back than just...
One beep means it locked. Five beeps means it did not lock. I'm my experience I get that mostly if I leave the key in the truck or the truck can't find the key at all.
I tapped the IGN fuse in the driver's side fuse box, which is F51 in this diagram. Note that the truck will randomly energize this circuit for some reason even when the truck is powered off. It's a common complaint that anyone who has directly wired lights into the fuse will see the lights...
I would do them all. The bottom may be the most important since it's immediately tensioned when the spring compresses but ultimately it's not going to hurt to put on all three.
I just replaced my original Dobinson's springs that I've had installed for the past couple of years. I obviously...
Yes. Remove those from the old springs and install them on the new ones. You could probably use a bit of contact glue to hold them in place but so far mine stayed in place on the new springs for a couple of years w/o any adhesive so I don't think it's critical.
I recently replaced the suspension on my '24 TRD OR with a complete Ironman4x4 Foam Cell Pro set up, but that's not what this post is about. I'll post wrt the suspension when I have more miles on it...
This post is about what I found whilst doing the work on the suspension. I've had a full...
Agreed. I ended up going with the complete foam cell package including UCA's, ECG needle bearing swap, Dr KDDS rear track bar level, new tie rod ends, heavier springs in back, etc... I just got the last of it all installed today (and found that I have a leak at the back of the transmission...
They served me well but at this point I've got too much weight (I'm right at GAWR, both front and rear) for both shocks and springs so I'm completely replacing the suspension with Ironman's foam cell set up.
I'm taking my 819's (red) off next week and then am planning to take an extended road trip to Arizona the end of May. I'd be happy to sell you the springs but shipping them might be more than it's worth. If you still haven't received them by the end of May though we could meet somewhere in...
My set up is more involved but if you have some woodworking skills it might give you some ideas. Having drawers under the bed allows you to store quite a bit of stuff and you can customize it any way you like to fit your needs. I have maybe $500 in this whole thing and that includes the slides...
Still holding up great. Looks exactly like the day I installed it! I use an Adams spray cleaner product designed to clean matt vinyl every month or so and that removes any water spots or impurities and keeps it looking new.
I have 300 watts of solar on top of my Lone Peak so don't need more...
Also, I'm not sure where you're coming from but if you go through Seattle feel free to ping me. I live at the base of Stevens Pass so you'd be driving right by me (assuming I'm around).
You also may want to upgrade your suspension. If you start choosing out any major interior mods you'll...
I did attempt to seal the caps and would encourage you to do a better job than I did. The Tacoma bed is a sieve and I've been chasing water for two years now.
If I had it to do over again I would have used a couple tubes of Sikaflex and filled every hole I could find. It's not just the caps...
