I genuinely thought I was about to open this and see these guys rip off that other guy who just manufactured a $200 set of tie down anchors.
This is equally as disappointing.
In my opinion, it's a pretty good alignment. I've found that unless you go to a very specialized shop, none of these people will give your alignment the attention you want.
Bringing that positive camber as close to 0 as possible is what will save the outer edges of your tires, but I don't...
You need the sleeves to be able to torque the bolts to spec without damaging your frame. The bolts need to be torqued to spec in order to use them for any recovery situation.
If you're simply looking for aesthetics, then don't torque the bolts too high and just know to never pull from those...
Did your truck come with reinforcement sleeves welded to the frame where you bolted the recovery points?
If I remember correctly, models with the plugs in the frame do not have the sleeves necessary to torque these down. Doing so without the sleeves can bend your frame. I had to add...
I've had y'all's intake installed on my SR5 with an OTT Tune for a couple months now. It's a great intake and the sound is very noticeable, much louder than stock, without the side plug.
Seeing the mentions of only running without the plug in dry environments, am I at risk running with no side...
Sorry, this is going to be long, but I just wanted to drop this here for anyone else considering installing this light mount and shutter delete kit from SDHQ or the fog light kit from Rough Country.
I'm very happy with the finished product.
In hindsight, I wish I had made a better decision...
Yea man - I'm about 4 alignments deep on this truck at just over 1 year of ownership. Mostly due to me adding suspension components, but I will say, it's hard to find a shop that takes pride in their alignments.
Let me know if you notice any improvements after installation.
The knuckle definitely looks a lot more stout. From what I understand, it just extends the perch and improves your turning radius, but I could be completely wrong.
Having an SR5, I would also need to buy the extended driveshafts, to the tune of about $650. That kind of turned me off from...
I installed the Banks RAI about a month ago, paired with the latest tune from OTT. I'm very happy with the purchase. I had the OTT tune updated to the latest variant the same weekend I installed the intake, so I can't really speak to any direct throttle response improvement, but it sounds...
I believe those lower knuckles were for the TRDOR but don't quote me. There is an image floating around somewhere, along with a PDF, that you can try and cross reference to find specifically which parts you need.
See the references below to find your specific part numbers.
I got the part numbers wrong for the knuckles - for an SR5 4X4, the right parts are listed below. It doesn't make sense adding the other components without the extended drive shafts, though. That adds about $650 to the bill. I just want to know what I stand to gain before pulling the trigger...
Yea, I can't really nail down what is causing it. From what the TRD Lift Kit includes, we need the lower knuckles, tie rod ends, and extended drive shafts. Apparently the knuckles can help improve turning radius so I guess it could improve that dead spot.
So I'm relatively new to suspension components and could use some insight from more knowledgeable members.
I currently have the Eibach Pro Truck 2R 2.5" lift on my 2025 Tacoma SR5 4x4, and I'm running 33's. I also have the Rough Country Forged UCAs.
I've seen that the OEM TRD Lift kit...
Thanks amigo - wiring could be cleaner but I'm not done adding/removing yet so I'll clean it all up in the future.
I'd go ahead and set up the distro block now just in case you add additional powered accessories in the future. Just keeps everything manageable.
