    Front end clunking noise

    Ya, my Tacoma is a BAJA made, with that being said, sometimes when they come from the factory they develop wear on body the mount bushings or and they tighten them to much or to little. I know when mine started making that noise, the body mount bolt was broke completely, and Toyota wasn’t trying...

    Yah I think my is a mex Tacoma but other than the body mount bushing no trouble and everything works great. (Knocks on wood.)

    Texas I think, not sure about that question I do know Toyota found the problem and fixed it tho. I’m gonna say that depending on where my truck was made their could be more problems??

    SpiderTraxx or Naw ?

    Oh right on man.. yah I think the cheaper route is what I’m gonna go with because I was wanting a offset and I feel like 1.25 “ would be where I want it. That’s the most narly sound ever to hear my tire clawing on the UCA. Definitely gonna go to 4WP and have them do it plus a alignment probably...

    SpiderTraxx or Naw ?

    I am thinking about getting spider traxx for my cement taco. I bought some new wheels and the back space puts my tire next to my UCA; which spells disaster on the trail when in I turn in 4wheel. Need some advice, I hear their good but also I should sell my wheels and buy new ones with a better...

    2015 with 2018 parts

    I was wondering , if a 2018 TRD off road stock suspension with wheels and tires, if it would fit on a 2015 Tacoma ? I am certain the wheels would but more concerned about the suspension.

    Front end clunking noise

    Yah, once I got into and drove away. Night and day difference. I believe sometimes they tighten them to much and it wears out quicker and that their poor quality and design. I’m definitely feeling better about my truck and can’t wait to hit some trails.

    N i don’t have aftermarket UCAs my 285’s clear nor did they chop my cab either. Just a lift and wheels and tires that’s all.

    Front end clunking noise

    Yah it was pretty bad too. Like the mechanics were all baffled when I brought it in. It’s drives so much better and feels better the only sound I here now is the sway bar popping but that’s normal to here. I can’t wait to hit the trails with the other Tacos and 4runners.

    Front end clunking noise

    UPDATE !! So toyota go a hold of my truck and found that it was the front right body mount bushing and that the bolt was broke off in the middle. They replaced it for free and problem solved ! No more noise. I think when they build these awesome rigs that they don’t torque them to spec and they...

    Front end clunking noise

    The 4wheel parts guys are looking at mine on Friday and they were telling me first thing that come to mine is rocks inside the skid plate rolling around. He was telling, he doesn’t believe that mounts would go out that quick not to rule out the possibility but to have such a sound like what I...

    Mysterious front end noise

    I’ll check my body mounts in the front and see what’s going on. Do you mean all four like under the drivers and passenger door or the ones near the grill my truck has 24K on it. I would like to think they installed it the right way. I will check it out tho for sure and keep you all posted...
