ya I guess its just because its new i'll hafta put a twist it the cable so it bends to the corner and hopefully stay in that position so it tucks in

just bought a first gen 99 Tacoma sr5 extra cab and it has new cables the previous owner put on it for the tailgate supports saying it had cables on it that he broke off loading his 4 wheeler but the cables cant be the correct part for this truck because they refuse to bend enough to tuck in and...

well I finally talked to the guy on the phone and he said the front is stock and wasn't lowered and he has all the original stuff he replaced on the truck except the grille that was cracked in a fender bender which is why he has a new OEM front bumper but just as you said, he felt the...

yep, the way I understand it, lug centric rims don't have an evenly centered hole so its the lug holes that center the rim which means how the lug nuts fit it is critical to being a balanced wheel when mounted so if it uses the hole fitting over the hub clearance to mount the rim, the lugs...

thanks that's good to know I think im set on finding a gen 1 Tacoma but may have to get a new one if I cant find a good deal on a used one. so it looks like I need to be very careful to look for vibrations if I buy a gen 2 or a new one. chevy vibrators are about 1 out of every 5 on the lot on...

ok, this is what I was reading: http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/339224-arbitration-didnt-go-well.html its a long thread to read through but as you do, at first I thought it was just the new ones 13 &14's were having a few vibration issues but then I see more people talking...

thanks, that's what I was afraid of, I suspect he did the front if he did the back but the ad didn't mention it guess i'll have to ask a lot of questions about it when im ready to go looking at em and hope he still has any original parts he took off. I saw some comments about aftermarket rims...

hello????????????????????? birds and crickets chirping ................................ im not slaming tacomas here guys im just trying to learn about them. all trucks have issues and yotas have the least of any brands out there but I do want to know all I can about them to avoid buying...

yep, that's why I was giving it a serious look, my concern is with no pics of the interior it usually means somethings not pretty or they show it the aluminum grille I can sand down and leave it silver looking I guess if replacements are that cheap and easily breakable does it look like its...

they sold it already, guess I should have jumped on it at that price and figure out all the little things it needed later

aww man that stinks, that would have been cool if they used the same blocks thanks

thanks, so the 2wd axle sits on top off the springs, that's the info I was looking for it looked like it was just the rear he lowered and the front still looked stock height but its hard to tell this is it: http://batonrouge.craigslist.org/cto/4679802461.html

I saw some threads on other forums about widespread vibration issue on tacomas im in the middle of a lemon law thing with my 2014 Silverado at this moment and it has this same 45mph and 70 mph vibration I see being talked about in the tacomas which scares the hell out of me now. I plan to buy...

all the trucks I ever had (chevys) were all axle under the leafs but now I need to learn about which tacomas have axles over the leafs and which are under the leafs because looking at some youtube suspension mods on tacomas I see some are over and some are under so which are over the springs and...

thanks, so up to 04 everything is gen 1 and after 05 things change to gen 2 so if swapping engines its better to use gen2 for replacing gen 2 or gen 1 for replacing gen 1 am I right to "assume" there is no difference in a car engine and a truck engine? in other words if I find a front wheel...
