RabidMonkey32's 2001 4wd Tacoma build up.

So I'm glad to say I've just ordered a Toytec Ultimate lift kit with the 5150's in the back and the light racing uca's. Hopefully it will be in on monday. I'm also getting some BFG 33x11.5x16 KM tires.

Here's what i currently have, its stock exept for a 1" aal and the topper.





I should have build pics soon.

Cheers,
R32

So far i have the rear end done and i just have to put the uca's in get an alignment. I hope to be done by tomorrow night then I'm on to getting some new rubber.



Heres the package.



Old vs new.





Decided to go with the ratchet strap alignment method for the aal.

Thanks, I had some issues getting the old ball joints out. After two days of no luck pressing them out I finally resorted to loads of pb blaster a sledgehammr an air hammer and cutting the bolt end off the top which took a while but worked. So assuming no more issues with the long bolt holding the uca in and presing the new adapters in I should actually have it all done tomorrow.
