Super quick compared to others I've seen. I'm too scared to do it myself, however. Awesome video though.

[@ncv4708]

Thank you! I'm sure if you have access to the tools, you'd be able to do it! Just don't rush.

[@alexanderrobles8797]

Awesome Vid! Hope you do a follow up on which bigger tires you get. Also a video on how you got the drum brakes colored black. :D

[@ncv4708]

Haha, the drums are new. Toyota did the TSB to replace the rear axles for the brake vibration and did new drums and shoes as a courtesy. I went with 1” taller tires. Kenda Klever AT2 265-70-17’s. I’ll try and make a KZbin short later!

[@gsalemi1954]

Did I miss seeing the truck completed? Was there a before and after photo? Hmmm?

[@ncv4708]

Nope you are correct. The after photo is in the thumbnail but I suppose that isn't very useful. The before I just assumed would look like any other TRD Sport.

[@gsalemi1954]

@@ncv4708 I really enjoyed the video. I just wanted to see more. Everything you said made perfect sense without talking about the weather or your dog…. lol Thank you.

[@ncv4708]

Haha thank you. I'll make sure to add before/after photos in future videos.

Finally found a full 2/2 inch level kit video 😂 everyone either does the 2/1 or 3/2

[@ncv4708]

Glad the video was helpful!

[@Turtlemilk]

Do you know if installing rear blocks will cause long term issues or anything ? I don’t tend to go off-roading

[@ncv4708]

Nope, blocks have been a pretty regular way to lift most trucks and within reason (lift size wise) they don't cause issues.

[@jmyers6175]

Why do you need to replace the needle bearing after the lift? What goes wrong with it?

[@ncv4708]

I wouldn't say anything goes wrong. But it exaggerates the very terrible tolerances of the factory CV axle vs the needle bearing on the drivers side of the differential when you change the CV angles. The result is an oscillating vibration you can feel in either the floorboard or steering wheel and if quiet enough you can hear it (super annoying). This isn't a failure, just more of a nuisance where the ECGS bushing closes up the tolerance and eliminates the vibration/oscillation.

[@Celtic-Iron]

Awesome

[@ncv4708]

Thanks!

[@javiersantos4965]

Hello nice job how is the truck now the right quality thanks

[@ncv4708]

The ride quality didn't change much since it's still the same shocks.

[@javiersantos4965]

Nice Job how is the ride quality?

[@ncv4708]

It actually didn't change the ride quality much. The tires are what made the ride quality a bit more harsh.

[@mg-ke3ji]

Did you paint your rear drum breaks?

[@ncv4708]

Nope, they were fresh drums from Toyota that were done part of a TSB.

[@lascosasdelmundo6817]

Any problem whit the lift kit?

[@ncv4708]

Nope zero issues.

[@onehundredpicks5531]

How l0ng did this take?

[@ncv4708]

About 2 hours total.

[@elbassonjr]

Did this install mess up the safety sense calibration ?

[@ncv4708]

Not that I could tell. Everything has worked perfectly with the pre collision detection.

[@rrangel3015]

Do you have vibrations on the driver's side???

[@ncv4708]

Yes I did. Probably 90% of Tacoma owners who lift their trucks get this vibration from the needle bearing. I installed the ECGS bushing and it fixed the issue.
