I had Abe and Orlando up this weekend. Abe to work on the Tacoma and Orlando to continue with the trailer.
The rear suspension on the truck needed some work/adjustment. I had purchased new u-bolts weeks back, along with bump stop and new shocks. The shocks were pricey due to needing to match the lift kit (Rough Country). Also, due to the impact, so reallignment was also needed.
The problem is always the availability of parts when you need them. There were a host of things needed, but nowhere to get them. That left fabricating them as the only option.
I needed some metal shims to go between each leaf. That meant buying a sheet and cutting/drilling.
In the end, they worked and we got everything needed done.
The truck is now safely up and running. I need to find time now to get it down to Mexico to do the bodywork.
We took it on a high speed test drive and all felt in order.
