What have you done to your 1st gen Tundra today?

No one wants to be defeated.

 

...Showin' how funky and strong is your fight

 

You beat me to it. Haha

 

The first stuck bolt we find on ironman:

 

Or, just leave the drain plug on and drop a hose down in there to pump the fluid out through the fill hole.

 

That too. I got a little 12v fluid transfer pump on Amazon on the cheap that would work great I'm sure.

sure that would work well enough but I don't think my OCD would go for that. Haha

 

wack that drain plug a few more hours and get back to me.

 

I switched to working on my bicycle tonight. Its getting more miles lately anyways.

I'll keep hitting it with PB blaster along with occasional hammer wacks. Sleep on it and try again in a day or two.

 

I got 4.5 deg

 

Speaking of, anyone got a good set of EZ-outs? @5N0W808 @bmf4069

 

Ive got a couple, but not a whole set. Good call.

unfortunately, i dont have a red leather jacket.

 

Damn, that’s a lot of caster!

 

I need to watch some project farm again to find the best set.

 

I was running 3 before the arms. Less and it felt squirrelly. @assassin10000 gave me the specs for the shop and called it. Said caster would be 4-6. It feels good. I haven’t got it up to speed yet though.

 

What did camber end up at?

 

if i can get 3.5 and zero camber i'd be in heaven. at 3 degrees ive got .7 degrees of camber. i cant adjust it out. i believe this is the limit of the access/reg cab lift height

 

I’ll have to go get the sheet since these numbers mean more to some of you guys.

 

how steering lock to lock? thats my only thing holding me back. but i think i have a fix for that already.

 

Here is where it is today.

 

oof. thats alot of caster. probably more than im after. but going off what i see i think 3.5 is easily attainable for me with the cams almost centered.

 

as the test dummy, you had to have known this was coming. Im liking those lca’s more every day.

 

@alb1k grab some photos of the alignment cams whenever you get a chance. im curious where yours are at

 

What upper arms are you running? I feel like the Camburg ones build a lot in, but I may be remembering wrong.

 

Will do.

 

i've got camburgs. it got me back to a reasonable caster but my camber still suffers

 

Project Farm FTW!

It’s funny, I had the tires practically skipping when I put the things in. But the caster before and after alignment is pretty close to the same. I guess that’s fairly built in. Last alignment and before these lowers, I forgot to tell them to get to 3 deg so they put it at 1.5-2. Super loose on the highway.

 

2.7-3 has been my sweet spot. 2.6 and bellow i rub and she gets a little loose. i think 3.5 is the best spot for me.

 

I'll have to get back to you on that, not much drive time yet. Steering goes a bit tighter radius, I've never been one to hold lock, so it feels the same to me except it will go a little farther than I expect on a tight turn.
