Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Seems like a whole lot of caster to me. If everything is even it probably does drive nice. If the arms had 5 degrees made in them then I wouldnt have moved them at all. Just my two cents.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
That makes sense. Personally I would definitely try to get both side within half a degree of each other.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Both sides are now equal at 9 degs caster and .25 camber. Truck drives nice.
just a note if you buy CPP upper and lower tubular control arms each has 5 degrees built in yielding 10 degrees total caster, so I think that my 9 is just fine for my application. Last edited by cab4word67; 09-09-2022 at 01:49 PM. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I found a 10 bolt front axle cheap with the gear ratio I wanted so I figured I could rebuild it cheaper than just re-gearing my D44....
![]() A couple of rainy days and it's going back together now all replaceable parts from the inside out are new... pressure washed inside and out...plugged all openings, sandblasted and wire brushed the housing...primed , painted and partially re-assembled... I'll install all the outer stuff once it's in the truck

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Did some more on the truck. Soon I won’t be able to work on it , as it is now I have to pull it out of the barn to work on it not enough room in the barn with all the posts . Lock came out ok some really deep scratches. When I went to work on the window and regulator found one of the rollers was toast . Should have looked more closely so it’ll be a few days till I get a them . Start on the passenger door tomorrow

I cut some pieces out of the dash of a truck at the wrecking yard today to use as templates for cutting A/C vent holes in my dash.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Not much done today was doing firewood but I managed to get one door card done . The little black speck is a bug but the panel was dry when it landed . Used leftover paint from my 04 Tacoma .
