Tacoma Tacoma

Finally had time to do the ChaosFab lower uniball conversion. Ditched the lower ball joints.
Id seen some Tacomas, Tundras and Sequoias (one which rolled) on the side or middle of the road due to ball joint failure. With that, i also replaced inner and outer tie rods. Ganna play with alignment today

Went out to Johnson Valley/Soggy Dry Lakebed for a Saturday weekend with friends.
Came across a Sequoia with a sheared ball joint. They had it under control, so we proceeded on. Went to the dunes at night, and on the way back to camp, managed to get stuck in mud. Got pulled out and got caked in mud. Departed early Sunday morning and headed home.

This is my 1st gen Tacoma (Prerunner model).
Its a 2wd, Auto, w /3.4L
Its simply designed and built, fairly just bolt-ons, as its mostly a daily driver. So down time is limited.
Front-
Camburg 3.5 kit
Fox 2.5x8 coilovers
Rear-
Deaver j59 leaf springs
Fox 2.5x10 smooth bodies
I run small 33" tires.
Im trying to do something pretty chill, how did you come up with the rear suspension mounts? I'm pretty new to this so I don't know if I would be able to design everything.
 
Some time back, my old boss reached out and invited me out to a Bronco Bash out in Big Bear. He pick my wife and I at 5am and headed out. We meet up at Burger King just off the 210/330. Once all the other vehichles showed up, we caravaned up to the Gold Mountain trail head. An older Discovery was told to turn around. He burnt about all his oil climbing (His dipstick was not registering a drop. People pitched in and topped him off). From therewe proceeded. The trail was managable, one Bronco snapped a tie rod and replaced it on site. Weather, and group was perfect. Ive never done 4x4 ing so im feeling hooked. Once the tril was completed and everyone was accounted for, we finished the trip at Village Pizza before heading home.
