Lets kick Murphys ass

Well, I looked over the reciept, that is where it said the part # with which side for the springs. Kinda goofy to put it on the reciept but my fault for not catching it.
#CS04GRA is driver and #CS04GRB is passenger

Well at least now you are for sure. Let the swap commence. Good thing those Dakars are nice and lightweight. LOL

 

[TKGN1]

They are some heavy bastards!
I guess swapping sides with them will also determine where the lean is coming from. If the lean goes away I'll know the rear springs is where it was at, if not I would imagine its in the front springs or the frame is tweaked.

 

[AlienXtx]

Did you have lean before? If not then it prob just the springs.

 

[TKGN1]

No lean before the swap. Funny though, I didn't notice the lean until after I went wheeling Saturday night, maybe just the settling of the springs after the install.

And yes, Murphy's law at its best.

Hey easy there buddy! ... and yes, I have relocation plates to remedy mine - just not on yet! I think I now have a beautiful opportunity to install them!!! I can't wait to get another 1/2" in the rear!

Hey easy there buddy! ... I can't wait to get another 1/2" in the rear!

I don't think that came out right....

 

[TKGN1]

I don't think that came out right....

LOL, nice..

 

[AlienXtx]

hey easy there buddy i can't wait to get another 1/2" in my rear!

wtf?

 

[TKGN1]

Swapped the springs (side to side) and fixed the lean, I guess thats why they are side specific.

 

[SamSter0077]

Sweet!

 

[TacoXpo]

I don't think that came out right....

LOL, nice..

wtf?

Yeah, that didn't come out right!!! But on the same topic, my truck doesn't like things up in it's rear either!!!

 

[TKGN1]

Are you doing wrap around style on the rear bumper?

Well, since I had a little time and figured out a little better way to do wraps without cutting the body up, here is what I added to the rear bumper.
Paint is temporary, just rattle canned it to help prevent rust until I get everything done as far as body armor goes.

Looks awesome Todd, I really like the plate / tube hybrid look. Excellent work.

 

[AlienXtx]

Yeah man that did turn out good, looks better then the ones in that pictures.

 

[blackwatertaco]

Damn Todd...I love it. I'd love to get one on my 08

 

[balakay]

Looks sweet Todd

Hey Todd.. I need to correct what I said at BVORR. My Shocks are NOT 5125, they are from the 5100 series and have been valved for my coils. Steve At Sonoran said the stock shock (Ge2 Tacoma - different for different years) travel was like 6" or so, 5125 is like 8" or so, and the custom Valved 5100 series he sells are like 10" of travel (they won't work for a leaf suspension though. In quickly looking at it, there is a Whole bunch of specific size information when ordering. Check out his page: http://www.bajataco.com/travel-measurement.html. Dakar should be able to tell you what to go with I would assume. I kind like the idea of removing the shocks and flexing it in a controlled environment and measuring what you can get away with "travel wise" before damaging something. In following you yesterday, it is 100% clear you need better shocks.

Couldn't Resist..

Great looking bumper BTW!
