Possible: yes. Wise: debatable
If I were starting this project over again my IFS would be built around the Trail Gear D60 hub block and unit bearing, not the taco hubs. Otherwise I don't have any real changes.
Fuck turning wrenches, I wanna go wheeling; So I sold the taco.

I am liking the idea of using the 4th gen 4runner unit bearing as a base, pressing in the tacoma manual hub assemblies that I have which are brand new Genuine units and Koyo bearings, then starting from there to build a steering knuckle. It would be a big upgrade for me and it would keep me all Toyota which is the goal.
The problem there is a) the strength of the unit bearing and b) the strength of the Toyota CV joints you'll be using. Some guys have no problems with either, some chew through 'em like bubblegum
Playing tag over here..... Fortunately the 4cyl is super light up front and with the RCV's I have few concerns about the front end with a 27/30spline hybrid to make it happen. With the plans to go TDI soon, I don't see weight becoming any more of an issue than it already is.
Steering pickup installed on the mock spindle, this will be double sheered in the real one. The CV angle and pure mechanical travel will continue to be the limits of travel, not the tie rod.
Measuring for bump-steer the correct way. This let's us see the tie rod arcs at various points in travel.
Ahh that's cool. Never knew about doing that method. Good to know.
I got that from @basikbiker at the other place..
Of course I documented doing it wrong on the last page...
Yeah that last post had me a little confused haha

It looks like RST has gone casters-up, or at least taken an extended vacation.
However, it looks like all there is to the speed sensor is one of these:

and one of these:

With a wiring harness to hook into the right wire on the ECU.
What am I missing?

UCA mounts are on, everything cycles right.
Outer CV joint and steering heim are limiting travel. There's another 2" in there if I could get the alignment right to push the tire into more positive camber at full droop. I'll have to play with that and then limit strap it.
I might have to look into that extra abs module from you. I can’t get the abs to kick in on the 05 Tacoma no matter what I do. Don’t know if it’s the modulator or the computer.
I'm not sure if it's compatible with the 05, I think the 12+ years have a different one. But I'm happy to ship it to you.

I have no idea what I am doing.
Check your frame wiring harness, just had a tear in mine, fucked with my ABS.
Also, Sweet build, im going to hang out for a while
Thanks. It's starting to look like a truck again.
I have a few from the 96-02 4runners laying around.
