JDMcQ's Build Thread

Thanks, I hate the mud. It gets in everything and never seems to go away.

I with you on that, mud is only fun when you watching dome red neck fucking up there truck in it

The Tunndra brakes would cost me about the same as slotted Tacoma rotors with new pads, by the time I bought, pads, rotors and calipers.

well if there the same price I would go Tundra since there bigger and better.

It's not really skewed. EBCs website says that the mounting surface mightnot be perfectly flat or something. It is apparently common with their product, they even have a video showing how to remedy it on their website.

Where are you sourcing the calipers? The rotors and pads should be purchased new but the calipers can be had from a salvage yard for not too much.

I would just as soon go all new if I am going to do it.

Is this really a build thread or will it be the largest non-topic thread on the site in a few months?

 

[jdmcq]

Has the other thread passed the UPT?

Forget it, I just checked.

This is an actual build thread.

[Lrgrnr]

Nice!!

Nothing new on the truck except some maintenance. Did the timing belt/water pump last night. 6 hours and one beer (must be slipping), start to finish, including a short break for a sammich. Not a bad job at all.

 

[SamSter0077]

too clean!

 

[jdmcq]

Time to dust this thing off again. The suspension has been squeaking and carrying on so it is time to rip it out and clean it up. Ordered some parts today from Wheelers and Ebay, just have to find the time to work on it.

New stainless steel uniballs (Thanks Boyd for the advice)
Greaseable main spring eye bolt (Major squeak and one of the bolts is rusted in the sleeve, again)
New leaf spring wear pads
New center pin for reassembly of the leaves
Replacement spring ubolts

I have to get graphite paint for the leaves from Tractor Supply
I am still on the fence sbout the u bolt flip, not sure if I want to weld up new lower shock mounts or just leave it be. Any thoughts?

 

[AlienXtx]

WTF is this guy ^ ?
