2007 Toyota Tacoma - Trail-Ready Tacoma

The hubs were easily removed from the factory spindles and bolted into the new Tuff Country spindles.

Eryn marked the crossmember 4-1/4 inches inboard from the factory upper control arm mount on each side, then he used a saw to cut out the middle.

Screw jacks supported the front differential, while the cast iron mounts were removed from each side. Meanwhile, the driver side mount bushing proved difficult to remove.

The driver side differential mount went back into place, but with the bushing removed, so it could go on after the new dropped crossmember was bolted in.

Eryn used the factory upper control arm mounts to bolt in the new dropped front crossmember, which came complete with a Tuff Country decal.

With polyurethane bushings on each end, the passenger side differential mount tied the drop brackets together.

Positioned with its Schrader valve facing out, the Racerunner coilover was bolted into the factory coilover bucket.

Eryn had to get a little creative when mounting the sway bar relocating bracket, since we were missing two Allen head bolts.

After getting a coat of Loctite, the ball joints met the new knuckle and hub assembly as the axle splines were threaded in.
