Hey I was swapping my body mounts with new ones and was wondering if anyone had the torque specs for the cab bolts. I can't seem to find them
Thanx

darn good question. I can't find anything in the FSM

Corey schafer would know though.

I believe I found specs somewhere that said 45-47 ft/lbs. When I did mine, that was the approximate torque needed to free the bolts. I think I actually torqued them to 50-53 ft/lbs. There really isn't a need to go much beyond 50ft/lbs.

Don't bother looking in the FSM. Believe it or not, that is a torque spec that is not listed.

BM torque specs...

Ok so 50 ft/lbs. or so.... uh... Locktight ? red or blue ?

50 ft-lbs. No need for loctite or anything.

Ok... I'm in the middle of it... and it looks to be impossible for me to get my torque wrench in there (and the body is as higher then it probably should be))... Much less anything else... damn... so I'll be guessing at the torque... Think it'll be much of an issue ? I suppose the worse thing that could happen is they'll come loose down the road... er trail... and I'll have to tighten them again :dunno: ...

Oh... and the top washer above the BL puck (next to the body) or between the puck and between the body mount and puck ?

just tight, its not like your building a fawking motor or a space ship, I would highly recommend cutting some plates out, one larger than the other and sandwiching the body, The pucks will shove through the body in the long run if this is not done.

I didn't think it was rocket science...

I asked specific questions... pertaining to those who have installed the ES body mounts... (Tyler being one of them)... I PM'd him... But he chose to reply here instead of in a PM... That is all...

But all I asked is if I should install the 2" Dia. washer between the puck and the body or or between the body mount and the puck...

I appreciate yer thoughts of sandwiching the body... So... IYO... put the washer next to the body ?


I would think there would be less corrosion if the puck were on the body instead of a metal washer... Roger has said that the pucks are strong enough and will likely squeak less if against the body (that is why I asked)... This is only a 1" lift puck... The area up there on the body protrudes and anything wider then 2" in diameter would be irrelevant anyhow (the puck and the washer are both 2" in Dia.)... If you flat spot that area or pull the mount thru there... You got bigger problems... But you came across at being less then friendly in yer reply... There a reason for that ?

 

[zszac111]

nope, no reason, just had a bad day (been laying brick all day and i am no brick mason) sorry if i came across like and ass hole. but im just stating facts. I have had to put plates on about 4-5 different tacoma's and a few other trucks with body lifts, 1", 2" and 3" lifts, as well as RB body lifts, i know his pucks are bigger in diameter than most, but if you wheel it will eventually tear the sheet metal apart and your truck will bounce around and look like the cab is about to fly off. but if you are not going to put the plates on it and the washer is the same diameter as the puck then i guess it really doesnt matter if its on top or bottom, but if it will squeak less with the puck against the body, then i would go that route.

 

[TacoDell]

Much friendlier... thanks...

I'd be really interested to see what this plate looks like that yer referring to... And how it could reinforce that area... I'll be OK though... no rust around here and I crawl 'da rocks nice and slow... No air time... ever

Too bad yer not close to me... I was a Mason when I was a young'n and could have made yer day a little easier ... Though I doubt I could lay like I did in those days...LOL... (I really worked more with block and concrete anyhow) ...
