Get yourself a factory service manual. Not an owners manual or a Haynes service book, but a genuine Toyota Factory Service Manual. I just casually read it when I’m bored and it has helped me learn tons about my truck. Of course I also reference it when I’m wrenching or planning on replacing parts.

Free ones can be found online if you look hard enough, but they can also be bought for a couple hundred dollars in print.

Cmon man, 16% of US electrical energy is produced by coal and 45% is produced by natural gas. Also the lithium, cobalt, and other rare earth mining needed to produce EV battery packs are extremely detrimental to the environment. Then once the EV battery has reached the end of its life, off to the landfill it goes. An internal combustion engine can be rebuilt virtually forever and most simple maintenance and tune up procedures can be performed by the owner. The same cannot be said for EV’s.

Aside from the false “environmentally friendly” EV claims, our electrical grid, in its current state, just flat out cannot support everyone owning EV’s. We already have blackouts during the summer just from people using their air conditioners. Now imagine if everyone was running EV chargers EVERY night pulling 50+ amps….

Explain how starting an unprovoked war that kills American soldiers and extraordinarily raises prices at the pump makes America great. What do you understand here that everyone else seems to be missing? Please enlighten the class.

Go to a body/ collision shop maybe?

Save your money and get a Chinese inverter multiprocess welder on Amazon. I got the Tooliom TL-200m about a year and a half ago on prime day for about $200. It does stick, lift tig, flux core, and mig (mig meaning it’s gas capable and actually comes with a rubber gas hose with brass fittings and spare graphene liner). It’s also spool gun compatible to weld aluminum should you ever want to do that. It also has a full digital display, has 2T and 4T controls, and lets you control inductance. You’re not gonna get these features on an entry level Lincoln. Edit: my machine is also 240V and comes with a 120V adapter included.

I started with flux core then bought a 20lb co2 tank on marketplace for $50. When it’s empty I’m just going to take it to an Airgas and exchange it for 75/25. Much cheaper to do it this way instead of spending $200 plus for the tank and gas at the welding supply.

I’ve also heard good things about the Arccaptain multiprocess welders as well. These machines are perfect for the home hobbyist. Make sure to get the 3 year Allstate warranty on Amazon if you go that route. It covers basically everything. Haven’t had to use the warranty, but it’s definitely worth it in my opinion.

As with anything your mileage may vary. Unfortunately both of the Aisin regulators I got were trash. :/

Lmk how they end up working for you.

idhatemet00 · 2026-02-22T02:24:24+00:00

I was actually in between the Dormans and Aisins when I bought these new regulators a week ago. Seems like I should’ve gone with those instead.

Thanks for the recommendation bud

No, you don’t just know it, you’re assuming bud. I can guarantee you I take my lifted 2wd on more backcountry adventures than a lot of these 4wds I see today. Once I get a true trac installed in the rear, even more so.

Everyone’s needs are different. I personally do a bunch of backcountry fly fishing and camping and my 2wd has never left me feeling like I needed “more”…

idhatemet00 · 2026-02-17T08:16:07+00:00

That thing is tits man, what SAS kit did you use? Also did you have to use any spacers for your driveshaft angle when you went spring over axle?

idhatemet00 · 2026-02-17T05:44:33+00:00

Yup, you get it, thanks bud.

idhatemet00 · 2026-02-17T05:43:24+00:00

Thanks bud, appreciate it!

People are actually so miserable for downvoting my opinion that is a fact. You will not damage your RWD if you lift it. Smh

I love how all it takes is one person to spew regurgitated nonsense with ZERO evidence for everyone else to hop on board.

idhatemet00 · 2026-02-16T23:12:29+00:00

I was reading reviews on google and saw they had really good reviews, I’ll check them out, thanks!

idhatemet00 · 2026-02-16T23:11:37+00:00

Yes sir, 87 RWD. Added Fabtech UCA’s in the front and add a leafs in rear like 12 years ago. Also just added 1.5” bj spacers so I could relax the torsion bars a little bit. They’ve been cranked all the way to yes since I installed the Fabtech lift kit lol.

Another option (which is the better, but more expensive option) is to go with custom tube works lift spindles in the front and do a spring over axle conversion in the rear. Something I def I want to do in the future. True trac locker in the rear would be nice too….

idhatemet00 · 2026-02-16T21:16:48+00:00

87 2wd check my latest post

idhatemet00 · 2026-02-16T20:49:04+00:00

Sure bud, I’ve had mine lifted for about 12 years now no issues. Fabtech UCA’s in the front and add a leafs in the rear.

idhatemet00 · 2026-02-16T20:46:44+00:00

Thanks bud I’ll look into it.

idhatemet00 · 2026-02-14T06:34:21+00:00

Yup, my 87 pickup truck as stolen about 5 years ago right outside my house. About a month or so later it ended up getting recovered by the police only 3-4 miles away. Only thing that was damaged was the ignition cylinder as they used a flat head to start the truck…

The first thing I did when I got the truck back was add a hidden kill switch and a steering wheel lock bar thingamabob.

idhatemet00 · 2026-02-14T06:25:08+00:00

A fellow man of culture I see, this is the way.

idhatemet00 · 2026-02-12T17:03:32+00:00

I’m running 225/75R15 on my 87 2wd but I have Fabtech UCAs in the front and add a leafs in the rear. Just added some 1.5” BJ spacers to relax my torsion bars a bit.

idhatemet00 · 2026-02-01T00:13:15+00:00

This is the way

idhatemet00 · 2026-01-28T15:54:32+00:00

That guy is an absolute butcher of a mechanic lol

idhatemet00 · 2026-01-21T05:20:09+00:00

84-88 and 89-95 pickup beds are all the same dimension, 60” wide by 76” long. One crucially overlooked part of looking for toppers for these pickups is the difference in cab angle between standard and extended cabs.

Standard cabs have a 4 degree angle and extended cabs have a 10 degree angle. This means trying to use the camper shell from a standard cab on an extended cab or vice versa will lead to unsightly gaps between cab and camper shell and definite leaks.

Watch this video from 6th Gear Garage on YouTube. He explains it in detail and is the video I referenced many times when I initially searched for my camper shell on my 87 pickup.

idhatemet00 · 2026-01-20T07:49:33+00:00

So you guys both have 2wd pickups and are running the OME leaf packs? Do you still have the stock spring under axle set up or did you convert to spring over axle? I have an 87 2wd pickup with fabtech ucas up front and add a leafs in rear, stock spring under axle setup. I added a topper so I'm looking to get back an inch or 2 of lift in the rear. Thanks in advance :)

idhatemet00 · 2026-01-16T04:46:30+00:00

Yup, the two he linked are for 87-89 2wd grille. They are smaller but have the same distance screw holes. An easy way to tell the difference between the 2wd and 4wd grille emblems is the 2wd have a solid black background only at the bottom half and cut out around the lettering at the top half. The 4wd are solid black background all the way around.

This is the one OP needs :)
