    don't look now but your dedication and dexterity are showing. Being able to hold the camera and start the threads on a bolt is amazing. Keep up the great videos.

    I would like to see the transmission rebuilt. With the extra torque from the diesel it would probably make sense. Nice build so far!

  • @abpsd73
    @abpsd73 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    You can always add some large washers to shim the mounts to get the body lines straight. On my F250, I had to cut some of the poly bushings to get the cab to sit right with the bed. With the body lift, are you going to raise the transmission more? It could help with engine angle.

    • @austinniemela
      @austinniemela  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I could! I am happy with the angle of the engine now!

    Every Toyota body lift I did was just a puck spacer. Those were all 84-89 trucks done in the 90s. These new modern trucks are different. Lol. We always did 2 or 3” body lifts.

    At 2:46 it looks like the body line on the cab/bed was off before the lift was installed.

    I have a 3rd gen runner with 164k when I got it at 129k I thought the head gasket was leaking but I didn’t know for sure well I had the water pump replaced an they flushed the system because they said there was rust but I’m thinking it was head sealer now I don’t know what I should do with it

    I know you sold this truck awhile back, but I am curious to know how long did it take you to install the 3 inch body lift on your truck.

  • @enricopolazzo33

    You can probably hog out the mount brackets and get the bumpers back to the right height.

  • @BurtBowers
    @BurtBowers 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    My personal opinion you should had went with a 3" bodylift since you went through all the work removing things, you would had gained enough lift with a 3" bodylift that you could had increased bigger tire size without any rubbing most people run off to get suspension lifts thinking they are going to fit on 33" tires till they realize they willbe trimming & chopping to get 33" tires on without rubbing, best setup is to do 3" bodylift & a 3" suspension it will give the clearance to put 33" tires on without the rubbing & no chopping or trimming required.

    Does it frustrate you that these kits don't come with metric hardware? Seems ridiculous that they add additional complexity of drilling out holes when they could have sourced the same diameter bolt.

    I bet if you tightened the nuts on the bolt they will smesh/squish enough to get a full nut on them?? I'm sure they should lock on properly?? But hey i'm just watchin' !! You could be correct ok !

    Had a body lift on my 99 Tacoma and every cab mount hole ripped and the whole cab would shift over at every turn scary as fuck. Had to re weld all the cab hols and dropped it back down to stock body lifts are never a good idea

      I’ve had multiple body lifts on Toyota’s and never had an issue. I know a guy who did a 6” body lift on his for about 2 yrs. then swapped a 350 into it and built his own custom lift.
      Sounds like your cab mounts were weak to start with.

    I'd give a big thumbs down on this kit too if for no other reason than shipping imperial size hardware on a kit that only works on a metric vehicle - especially on a $200+ kit. All the other issues just add to the thumbs down. The only plus is the spacer for the steering.

  • @aldoavak9
    @aldoavak9 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I've never understood the point to or the benefit of a body lift. Why not just go an inch and a half higher with the suspension lift??? Seems like a lot of work to add stress to lines and connections. Pointless.

    • @ItsJoshN
      @ItsJoshN 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    • @jamespskowski432
      @jamespskowski432 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      These yota ifs are limited to 3 inches of suspension lift before things start to bind.
      Also this was done for hood clearance after his motor swap.

    • @jason328d6
      @jason328d6 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @aldoavak9 clearance , eng, tires, trans. Very common in eng swaps to do a body lift.
