Changing Spacer Lift On 2024 Or Gen 4 Tacoma Or Fixing A Mistake
Lost ground clearance with the RCI skid plates on the 2024 Tacoma and want to gain some of it back in the front. Ideally would install adjustable leveling shocks with increased travel to lift the front and back but they’re outside of my budget for now. Low cost alternative is to use a spacer on top of the front shock.
Normally a spacer lift cause shock damage because the shock bottoms out before the bump stocks on the frame. Gen 4 Tacoma shocks have the bump stops incorporated into the front shock. Doesn’t affect rebound and compression so the ride will remain the same.
Pickup has 1.6” or 4 cm height difference between front and rear, thought it was 2” or 5 cm so ordered the 1.25” or 3.2 cm lift spacer. Want to keep the vehicle at least level while hauling a full load or trailer so actually need a 1” or 2.54 cm spacer.
By the time you pay shipping back and a 15% restock fee, it’s cheaper to thin the spacer down to get a 1” lift! You could do this by hand, but taking the easy way and milling it. This does void the warranty but it’s a hunk of aluminum so not much can go wrong.
If you have a small or mini mill, this end mill lets you take off a lot of metal quickly without overloading your mill.
Bonus footage of the T Town Case Clowns working on the pickup. Watch for their national tour at the big top and your local garage.
For the install you’ll need two pry bars, sockets and wrenches, ratchet, hammer, a long screw driver or rod to push bolts out, and a torque wrench capable of 250 ft-lb.
Torque ratings I found online are:
Shock top bolts: 14 mm, 33 ft-lb
Shock bottom bolt: 19 mm, 133 ft-lb
Sway bar: 19 mm, 103 ft-lb
Steering link: 19 mm, 89 ft-lb
Upper ball joint: 19 mm, 92 ft-lb
Lower ball joint: 22 mm, 221 ft-lb

DIY Ultra Low Cost Axle Exhaust Dump For 2024+ Tacoma

One of my biggest dislikes about the 2024 Tacoma is the big, ugly, and bright shiny metal that catches your eye first, resonator and exhaust tip.

Can You Use A Gen 3 Tacoma Tire Rim On Gen 4 Tacoma

Gen 3 and Gen 4 Tacoma’s have the same number of lugs and spacing. Wheel offset is different and some people say the wheel studs and bolts are larger on the Gen 4 and won’t interchange.

Is this the BPF going on a 2nd gen tailgate?? I thought they only built for 3rd gen?? Insight?? Thanks, and great vid with pointers.
It's a Gen 3 Tacoma.
What's your material thickness man?
1/10" or 2.54 mm
Any droning in the cab? My last 14’ tacoma trd cat bat had droning. My 2024 exhaust in the back is hidious but i like the quite cab
Going down the road, you only hear it when you really get on the throttle. It's no louder than with the resonator on it.
Would love to see this in action. Have you actually used them in the real world? Second question: How much do these end up weight?
Yes in snow but it wasn't recorded. Have never weighed them because I always feel they aren't done yet!
Nice video! Can I find you on IG?
Maybe in the future.
Great video! Very detailed! I just bought this cover and wanted to make sure I did make a good purchase.
Keep the conditioned and it should last a long time. Liked it so much, kept it and installed it on the new pickup.
Is it normal to have that much watch that deep into the exhaust?
A cold exhaust usually has a lot of condensed water inside that evaporates as the exhaust heats up. Normally don’t see the steam it produces unless it’s cold outside.
I'm debating if to get one. I dont have spare cash, and a good electric splitter is $400, gas $1000. If this hand pump log splitter would work on big y branch logs save me time and money.
I have this splitter and don't feel any mod required!
Nice video explaining what it takes to finish a mod once you start. Glad it worked out. What distancces to you typically shoot at? Is the AB Arms stable for you?
Zero at 200 yards. Between 100 to 300 yards because I run out of scope. AB Arms is very stable and I like you can change the reach for different shooting positions.
That was such a cool discovery for me a few years back (Swedish Fire Log). Use them all the time now outdoors. Kobalt 12 inch for me, and 40v batteries. I found a place on Amazon that is called UpForest, and they had a 3 pack of 12 inch chains much cheaper than buying one genuine Kobalt replacement chain. Mine's an R45, but they carry most sizes that I can tell. Glad I tried it. Sharp as heck, and so far have not had any problem with the first one I used. Just FYI.
Similar to what I did with mine, but I didn't use the reinforcement plate and bolt, just welded a knife edge like you made there to the splitting point, and ground it down to a sharp point. Sticks out about an inch and a half. Wanted a good bite into the wood before it hits the wedge sides and starts separating. Haven't had any issues yet other than my front seal is going bad after 5 years. :)
I did similar on mine. Two things I did were change out those Iron Caster wheels for HF 4 Inch Rubber wheels with some drilling and some bolts for axles, and then welded a knife edge piece of metal at the tip of the weld and then ground it sharp. I see from your newer video you did similar. ;) I need to find a seal kit for it though as it is five years old now, and the front seal has gone bad and leaks a lot now. As for the axe comments, yeah okay, enjoy yourself. I have arthritis and this saves me a ton of pain. Your mileage may vary.
Very nice! Looking to get these myself because my truck is also my daily driver and I don't want to weigh it down with 100s of lbs of armor.
Question: When did you purchase this 10-ton Harbor Freight manual unit? I bought mine 4 years ago and it had no such crappy welds on the cutting edge of the cutter head! If mine had had such a mess, I would have exchanged it for another that did not have that problem. Glad you were able to over come it. When I get in rounds and they are too heavy for me to put them on my table at 3 feet tall, I am 74 years old, I work it on to this unit and spllt the log one time. Then I can lift them onto the table with my HF 5 ton electric splitter!
Since I don't split that much wood, and it was on sale, it was the cheapest I could buy. Most low-end imports like these have this kind of welds.
Did you just skim the video or something? Those "Crappy welds on the tip of the cutting edge" didn't come with the splitter, those were added so he could grind down a sharp edge from them. I mean, that's the whole point of his video... ???
Did you install reinforcement brackets? I heard you have to install them or run the risk of bending frame horns while winching
Was wondering that myself on how to make them as haven't found any that's compatible. They said it's rated for 9500 pounds per the instructions.
When you say knuckle, you mean the steering spindles or the front frame extensions where the crash bar mounts (horns)? Looking into reinforcing the front frame extensions.
My tonneau cover was broke into easily. Reread pro
A Fiskars splitting axe works wonders. I've split 6 foot read oak with one before. My Canadian cousin told me to keep the axe from sticking twist your wrists right before the axe hits.
Great Video Thx I made 3 point pallet forks for my 446 they help me get an early start on my potatoes, 9-5 gallon buckets on each pallet in my shop until it's warm enough outside
Great Video Thx that's the same way I unload my Trailer
Nice Job you did there, I need something like your light bar, I have a 1974 Case 446, and I can tell you love working on your Case just as much as I do on mine I built a front end loader and just finishing off a rear grader blade, They are fantastic machines hey I hope you have a lot of fun with your 446
Painful to watch that process but would be useful in some situations I'm sure.
Far easier than s splitting wedge or axe.
@t-towncase3808 I have a timberwolf tw6. Sometimes I swing an axe bc I'm getting older and can use the exercise. Before I had a splitter it got old real quick.
A lot more painful to do by hand with an axe, and forget some of those rounds, as you won't be splitting any of those with any axe.
Kind of a cool idea, cutting the whole time in half. I have the electric version of HF's log splitter duo. Wonder if this would work on mine.
Check out Donn DIY's channel where he did that and much more.
Good unit...
What was the rough installation time?
I want to say about 4 hours minus making the custom spacer to mount the stock tow hook.
Glad I found this as I'm getting into the midst of a full resto-mod on my 1976 Case 446. Previous owner did a really nice job of restoring the Onan, but unfortunately in the end filled the hydraulic system with ATF. So I'm just puling it all apart and fixing the missing or maladjusted. Any advice on alternatives to the now overpriced and under-available muffler or hydraulic cooler? I was thinking a plate type cooler from Derale would be more efficient maybe even better with an electric fan?
Look for swamp boat mufflers for Onan's, they may fit. Hydraulic cooler has internal fins in the tubes so the fluid is spun to the outside walls for increased cooling, don’t know if these are available from anyone else. You can find used hydraulic coolers on ebay but would flush them thoroughly before use and install the filter and filter bracket from an Ingersoll/Case 3000 or 4000 series to protect the pump.
All your mm nos. Are way off. 1inch is only 25mm aprox
So much for double checking!
I just bought a new one. They sell a new chrome motor with a blue plastic mount it works fine. I suggest putting one of the pasta cutting attachments as a counter weight when using the roller. Thanks for posting this.
Interesting experiment. This almost begs trying petg, tpu, & everything else. Maybe carbon fiber, or glass. Wonder if they make any Kevlar, or silk filament? Both are used in ballistic vests and will stop some pistol rounds. I ordered a 3d printer for the 1st time. Praying it gets here sooner now.
This is also sold by SunJoe and other companies.

I have lengthened the vertical cutting edge an additional 2”and will update in the future after testing it out.
Great review was wondering how this did with leaks thank you for covering it!
Thank you! Never realized I didn't reply when you posted.
This works but it has a tendency to clog up the aerators on hard packed soil. Manufactured aerators are usually conical so it’s easier for the dirt plug to move thru and fall out.
try watering heavy the day before you aerate, might help.
Have only used it after heavy rain! Needs more work as it goes to deep on soft soil but doesn't penetrate well on hard.
Great ideas. As society keeps going into low trust, these will come in handy. Thanks for the video.
I started to do the same thing on my 448 some day I will take time to finish it thank you for sharing
where can i buy the steel support for the engine?
It comes with the motor but don't think they're in production. Try ebay or find someone to bend a strip of metal for you.

Amazing welds.
I do just good enough. Wish I could weld better but it's not something I regularly do.
a cheaper version......fill it with sand and better stopping power
Sand tends to fragment the lead and produce dust. Empty and recycle the lead every few years.
You must live in a really really bad area...lol
It's for travel when you have to stop somewhere, and the vehicle is unattended.
If your carb starts running extremely rich, and your fuel pump and carb are in good shape, check for vacuum leaks. Plugs were wet and smelled like gas, but the carb and fuel pump were good. Found a vacuum leak and after fixing the hose, the plugs aren’t coated in gas or smell like gas.
Will post a video of the factory defect that was the root cause.
I tend to not mess with the settings on a carb unless I've looked at everything else first. Otherwise you may end up chasing your own tail.
thank you i learned alot i am going to replace my engine and get help from your video thank you again Comi
I have the same tractor. A 1982 model. And thrower, which is older. 48” cut. They move a lot of snow but don’t throw it to far. I also have a 1975 Case 224 with the 48” thrower.
Nice!
I use a similar setup - plastic storage tub filled with rubber mulch. I like the idea of adding diatomacious earth. But, how's that going to affect your recovery of the lead? If you want to stoppass-through with higher power guns, put a sheet of aluminum or steel inside the back of the box (depending on your needs).
Thanks for posting this, I recently purchased a 4018 that had been abused as a pulling tractor. I found new remake rims but still can't find tires. I have found that the 235/85R 16 tires have the same diameter that you show in your figures of 30.5" overall diameter. They are about 150.00 each but will try them. Your video helped with trying to figure out what to do about the missing original rims and tires. Thanks!
This wouldn't work with the Chimera that I have. :(
I have a ingersoll hcs24 that I bought several years ago. Do I need a case tractor with hydraulics to actually use this chipper?
Hydraulic powered only. You could modify it or resell it as they're hard to find.
Thanks brother. Excellent information. Liked and subscribed 👍 🎯
Reading all this is making me nuts!
I agree
That’s great!
