The 5 guys who BS on the forum BS Thread

Yikes

 

Added horsepower!

 

insurance adjuster was a no show yesterday. not happy.

 

I would raise hell with my insurance

 

I said the State Farm jingle a couple times but no dice

 

I'm dealing with the at-fault drivers insurance company. I did send the claims rep a heated email yesterday.

I also have to fax over all my service records. Can't wait to pay for that.

 

I'm guessing its the shocks cause my 5100s do it with my icon coils. compression is smooth, but they slam down into potholes and the like

 

That's at The Flats right? How was that place?

 

That's it exactly what it feels like, slamming down. I don't think the 5100s are long enough for the 2" lift to be honest, but that all gets remedied when I get back from vacation next weekend. I've got my Icons sitting in the garage and I could put them on today before I leave tomorrow, but I'd rather just get the new springs on as well at the same time and they won't be delivered until sometime during the week.

 

Yup. It was fun. The trails are real tight, most of them go up ravines with some pretty nasty boulders. I wouldn't take a nice newer vehicle through there.

 

I wouldn't call mine nice anymore hahah

 

Lol, well, you would probably get hung up every 5 feet in some spots. Just have to be careful cause there are trees and roots trying to grab panels and rocks grabbing diffs.

 

ordered ET lug nuts for my spacers so it has more bite on the threads.

 

I need to disable the VSC in this thing........

 

Me too. I should probably try the zero point calibration first, but I hate how sensitive it is off road when I don't have the center lock engaged.

Had this waiting for me when I got home from vacation. Metal Tech extended bump stops, extended brake lines, and medium LT springs to go along with the Icons I got delivered last week. @LTDSC I'm guessing the spring that had a "D" after the part number is the driver side spring?

 

@THatfield dude....what happened to your 4Runner?? I only read this page...I'm hoping you didn't total your 4Runner?? Do tell...

 

Yessir

 

Perfect. Once it warms up outside I'll be ripping things apart.

 

I'm staying off the internet for the next few days so i don't buy things i don't need. wheelers 15% off is really making me sweat

 

I'm thankful I don't have the money for any parts that I want even with the sales that way I won't even look.

 

Sup guys! 5th gen 4R is independent rear suspension? I am looking at lifts already for a 4R I don't own yet.

Splain? What does it do?

 

all 4runners have a live rear axle

 

VSC is a traction control nanny

 

next year is the year the 5100s go away. unless i buy something else...

 

Just buy stuff you want so you'll love it again.

 

I have to get lower spring rates for my Lexus. Oh yes, bring the love.

 

I'm installing my limit straps soon. That will make me feel better of one less thing I have to do

 

Well I may just tack on a set of headers or camber arms to the order just to make myself feel better

Edit - Sam you have any experience with assist springs on coilovers for lowered cars? Was thinking going 8k with a 6k assist for the rear.

 

The second spring for on top of the coil?

 

^ This. I never should have gone 5100s and SF in the rear. Holy shit what a difference the right setup makes. I can't wait to get it off road tomorrow.
