Dude! You just saved me some time and $$$! Just fixed the alignment on my 3rd gen in about 10 minutes. You're a genius! Never dawned on me to do this. Subscribed! 🤙
Yep, that's the way to do it in an Old School Way to save "$$" @ home. It sure will take x=time the process, but once it's mastered, it's like butter. Thanks for sharing Bud, great job!👍
@@KFloTacoma they literally just gave it back to me messed up in my 5 visits, to different ones too. For the caster/camber, did you just use the same amount of tick marks on the LCA cam bolts on both sides or do you just measure forward/aft from cab mount distance and adjust from there?
Caster Is for how stable steering feels and how well it tracks center. If it feels ok, i would do it by ticks but if it feels weird then i would measure. Its based on your truck though. Good luck
Nice demonstration! I'm planning to lift my Tacoma 3-2 and I have the same problem, but in the other side due to and accident hit it on that side. My question is what's the maximum you can move the tire forward? I have like 2.5 inch backward. Hope with new LCA brackets, new SPC UCA with new bolts and new Tied Rods it'll fix the problem. I wish to put couple pics and you'll see how it looks thanks.
I also do my own alignment since I’m in the trades I have a lazer level I use and set it up just like your fishing line I have saved a lot of money over the years doing this great video I wish more people could work on there cars I get sick when they tell me what the bill is
I love ur videos my friend!!!!!!!!! Do u have a video on the spacers for the carrier bearings....cause I have vibration in my driveshaft....it was real bad with the NON-tappered blocks....then it went away ...alot of it...still a little so I thought I'd lower the barrier bearing....I wouldnt mind some opinions ......thank you for the videos!!!! Plus thank you in advance for your opinions!!!!
So you changed over to tapered blocks then, right? Here are things i would recommend checking first: Check whether or not your u-joints are still tight - if there are some play, it would cause vibrations regardless of the carrier bearing, so check and then replace if needed. If the U-Joint is ok then you can do the carrier bearing drop. Good luck!
What are the chances 265’s will fit under a 2012 w stock suspension w out rubbing? I’ve read a lot and some people are saying 275’s will rub but 265’s won’t.
Toyota designed tacomas fender wells oddly from 2005 thru 2015 having almost a verticle cut design behind the front wheels & the back wheels thats why I didnt buy a tacoma for all them years, I just bought a used 2017 trd offroad 4x2 comes with locking differential I dont go offroad much at all but I may yet consider getting a 4x4 eventually down the road as for fitting bigger tires on tacomas I personally would never cut fender wells, back in the early days if someone wanted bigger tires they just did a body lift as well suspension but the trucks back in the days was much easier to lift having straight axles & not much involved to do a body lift.. Todays trucks way too much involved to do a body lift would of been nice if toyota just made the fenders more rounded out 3" more front & back of the fenders then you could throw on 35" wheels with no problems..
Hey Karl - love the channel. Your video on the lift kit definitely helped me install my level kit a few days ago. Quick question - you mention having 33 inch tires... what exactly are the specs. on the tires?
@@KFloTacoma Oh, that's a 32.7" tire then. Right? So 285s fit the stock rim just fine. So much too figure out in this topic. I'm planning to run Bilstein 6112 and SPC uca. I'm not sure what tire and wheel combo to get.
Jose Lopez 265/75/16 is supposed to be the biggest tire you can put on a stock 16" wheel with no lift, they say anything bigger will rub. That's what put on mine and it's fine.
Is your truck lifted and if so how many inches?? I just bought a new trail grappler mt 285 70 17 and my truck is lifted 3" I wonder if I'm gonna have the same issue??
Yes, 3 inches, you will run into the same issues. Follow this series and if you are looking to do some harder off roading you may have to do the cabin mount chop. You can watch that video from my channel.
hey Kyle I got in an accident with my Toyota truck about a week ago and I replace my lower control arm and knuckle and it's causing the wheel to rub towards the back of the firewall and these are stock tires come on brother let me know what I need to do to get my truck going I'm going to Hawaii this week and need my truck aloha
I'm not sure what type of accident you got into. Here's a few advices: See if you can adjust the caster to move the wheel forward. Check if your strut got over compressed and was compromised (compare the lengths with the opposite side). If so, replace them. Watch part 2 of the interference video. Check if the upper control arm got damaged. laki maikaʻi!
Also, double check and make sure you're using the proper lower control arm (i.e. the proper one for its side, left one goes to left side). The stock tires are way too small to be rubbing like that
Not true, I had to do the ol cuttin the fender slightly and will need to do ol heat gun and push back on fender lining trick, I still give discount tires their props tho, they did awesome helping with my 265/75/r16 toyo open country rt trails 👌🏾@@KFloTacoma

Glad you enjoyed this video brother! Please share my channel with your tacoma friends and help my channel grow!
Tacoma: Everyone that buys our trucks want to put 32-35" tires on? Ok, let's just not make that easy for 40+ years.
Loving the mechanic skills you will never be broke🤑
Haha thanks! Skills are always in demand right? :P
Great video. Good practical way to sort it, and it can be done at home . 👍
Thanks Joe! please share my vids with your Tacoma friends!
I literally just did something like this before seeing this vid cause Firestone kept messing up my alignment. This vid is good stuff!
Yea Firestone has screwed me a few times so i dont go to them anymore!

I think it only moves it maybe about an inch max.

Some people are just not very motivated to learn things on their own and apply it.
I don’t have the guts to mess with all the front end...good job
It's really not that bad. It's a good learning experience
How about a video on how to replace the front headlight lenses
I'll add that to the list request brother
@@KFloTacoma thank you

Just put BFG KO2s on my stock 2015 Tacoma Sport 4X4. Factory was 265/65/17. I went with 265/70/17 without any issues. Just a FYI post.
No lift?
My stock was 245/75/16 and went with 265/75/16 no issue also.
The only lift was from the 1" rise from tires upgrade
Great videos! Thanks much! Keep the Tacoma videos coming :)
How would you know your front wheels are straight on?? is there a method?
I would recommend watching my "wheel alignment at home" video in this channel
Very cool, thanks for posting !

You do make a good point there, Old Timer.

Hi Bobby, the tires are 285/70R17

@@KFloTacoma I have a 2012 Tacoma with stock 16" rim. If I put 2857016 will I have this problem.

What all do you do to make sure the fishing line is parallel to the truck?
You use the center of the wheel distance, skip to 3:20 and you'll see what I'm talking about.
@@KFloTacoma thanks!
"An inch makes a huge difference" ;)
That is why men needs enlargement,haha...
WHAT YEAR IS THAT TRUCK ? THANKS !

I'm not sure what type of accident you got into. Here's a few advices:
See if you can adjust the caster to move the wheel forward.
Check if your strut got over compressed and was compromised (compare the lengths with the opposite side). If so, replace them.
Watch part 2 of the interference video.
Check if the upper control arm got damaged.
laki maikaʻi!
Also, double check and make sure you're using the proper lower control arm (i.e. the proper one for its side, left one goes to left side). The stock tires are way too small to be rubbing like that
So you have no lift at all running 285’s?
I have a 3" lift
Awesome bro,, good video.. save me anout $100
Sweet! thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
Well what tire size I can get on my stock wheels without rubbing also give me inche higher ?
265/75/16 is the biggest you can go with no lift/trimming/rubbing according to Discount Tire.
Not true, I had to do the ol cuttin the fender slightly and will need to do ol heat gun and push back on fender lining trick, I still give discount tires their props tho, they did awesome helping with my 265/75/r16 toyo open country rt trails 👌🏾@@KFloTacoma
What size tires you have? 265 275 285?
285 75 r17
How is líft ?? Saludos.
It's still very good! I like it
KFlo's Krib - Tacoma Build but how incs? " 2.5?
It's 3 inches
DUDE CLEAN YOUR FACTORY WHEELS............NICE INFO. VID!
why?
what size is your tire
I have 285/70/R17. I would recommend smaller tires though if you don't want any issues. Maybe go 275's
It still seems really close
