TRD Bro became more PRO!!! Hard Shell Taco is finally LIFTED!!!

I picked up a 2015 TRD Pro suspension for a great deal from a Toyota deal. Part # PTR13-35150

I installed this last President's Day weekend. Because of plans with Chinese New Year and needing to have the Taco ready by Monday I had no choice to do most of my work at night. It wasn't as easy but I got it done. The hardest part was the AAL (Add A Leafs). I explained it in my latest youtube video:

The instructions below are for a 2015 Pro but it's exactly the same for the 3rd gen Tacos too however the cam bolts for the 2016+ are 22mm NOT 19mm! And of course works on all 2nd gen Tacos.

You really want a 22mm handy!!!





The ride is a little firmer on the street but soaks up bumps and especially dips VERY well. For spending under $1000 with front shocks + springs , rear reso shocks , AAL and alignment...I'll say it's an awesome deal!!!!

My FIRST Subscriber Showcase on YouTube! Blazing Blue Pearl Taco talk!!!! BRO PROs united!!!

Jason Payne bought his BBP Tacoma just 6 weeks ago and he was surfing the web for mods.

He found my YouTube Channel and started looking at all the mods I did. Jason was so interested he posted several questions on each of my videos. His first mod was the TRD Pro grill. He then focused on getting some wheels. He's become a BRO PRO / PRO BRO!

He lives out in Nevada but was visiting family here in SoCal as well as doing a few mods. This is when I did my mini photoshoot and decided to do my first Subscriber Showcase.

It was a pleasure to meet Jason and his Taco.

Quick photoshoot of the OG E30

After washing up the hooptie, I finished up polishing the roof to match the rest of the work I did last few weeks. Car really pops right now for an old worn paint!

It's not visible in the pics but the windows have some really  difficult to remove hard water stains. That's my next goal to fix.

If you've seen my past work I have a favorite spot for shooting my car at night. It's rare someone is there and it's not far away for me. Best combo!

When you're in too much of a hurry and you make things worse! Arghhh!!!

So today I decided to work on my suspension for my E30 project. Well things started off ok but ended badly.  I tried to remove the tie rod link ball joint and the from the lower control arm. The BFH didn't work so I went to Harbor Freight and found a good tool. Worked great like you see in the video below.

Now I got too cocky and tried to rush things...worse thing to do. Oh the horror!!! I hope I can file it down and get it threaded. 

Fixed it!!!

I found out there's a thread file. Autozone actually rents these tools so after using that I got it working. Car is put back together and feeling good!
