    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...

    Front end clunking noise

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

    Front end clunking noise

    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.

    Front end clunking noise

    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

    I’m gonna go with loose CV axel for 100 Alex ?! Lol. No but for real, it may be from the lift install or something else all together I will update when I get the word from them.

    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...

    Mysterious front end noise

    Yah man you too, definitely would like to know what’s going on. I have to take my truck back to 4wheel parts for them to see how my lift is doing I’m gonna ask them to check that out also.

    Mysterious front end noise

    It just happened, like it almost sounds like the cv axel wiggling or loose. I never pushed down on the bumper either. It rides great just makes some weird sounds. I watch some YouTube videos of the same problem and I don’t see a issue. As for my lift everything seems legit. I think it’s just one...

    Mysterious front end noise

    My Tacoma started making this funny noise on the passenger side front wheel, I’m not a mechanic but It definitely sounds like it’s coming from the CV axel area but there’s noting loose or causing it to make that noise. It only happens here and there and certain angles my truck is at. It’s not...

    I went with a bilstein 5100 lift with the diff drop and on 17x9s with 285s BFG AT KM2s from 4wheel parts and I got it during their tax free sale plus the discount on my tires. I’m pretty pumped.. buy once cry once right ?!

    I wanna do 18s with 32s I’m trying to do a daily driver to look good on the road but still load up and escape in the woods when I want. Still confused on which one would be right. Spacers seem like a good idea but I like the whole idea buy once cry once. I was looking at coil over lifts? I’m new...

    Need some advice.

    Just bought my 2018 off-road. I wanna lift it but see that there is a big debate on ready lift and rough country. I was looking at terraflex and the bilstien as well. One of the guys I know has the same truck as me has the bilstien lift. It Looks good and all , but he paid isn’t in my range. I...
