BUMP TO THE TOP for maximum visibility for anyone logging in today before the meeting.
I am joining the initiative this year after being in the club for 3 years because (1) it's a worthwhile, club-sponsored initiative, (2) it has been woefully...
“I had no idea a 60 could steer so well.” That’s what I thought as I returned from my shakedown run after getting all the air bubbles out of the steering system after reinstalling the steering gear box. Admittedly, the old box was leaking pretty...
Ding ding ding!
2001 Toyota S22 with a V-Drive (versus the direct drive above). Only 102 hours on the mighty 1UZ. I picking it up from a guy in northern Kentucky, across the river from Cincinnati. He said it's been sitting for several years...
There is still some work to do on the 2F before it goes to its new home.
There wasn’t much left to do before it was pulled. I’ll reach out when the 2F goes back in!
Nit picking at a few projects of mine...wife got me an adjustable Dobinsons front panhard bar for xmas. Installed that and then centered up my steering wheel that's annoyed me since day one, also installed the OEM front brake shims that had...
Adding a dashcam, picked a Vofo A139. Nearly t-boned someone who made an illegal left turn in front of me, they were in an MX-5/Miata, I could've driven over them and possibly killed them. Glad I upgraded to slotted rotors and sticky pads a few...
Very cool rig !
I two was only concern with capability so my rig is as light and low as possible.
I have tried four different sets of springs, including Js and slinky and currently Run Dobson springs They have lower spring rating, and a taller...
No clicking in my left footwell when I engage my CDL nor my transfer case. I found an ebay replacement part and swapped it, and it made no difference. i bought low range reduction gears, so i'll be dropping the t-case later this month and will...
Before my body mod, it used to have 3-3.5" of lift based on OME Heavy/J springs, pictured here with 37" KM2's:
...and I could tell it was taller when I got it back, just by climbing into it:
Note, the body swap = 1200+ pounds lighter, his...
Again, no. I set the tape's hook at the approx height as the highest point of the lower retainer, not blindly "at the coil", what you saw is parallax error. When measuring inside the coil, from the lowest spot of the upper bump and highest...
Multiple videos showing 12 valve weighs around 950. I have crane scales and floor scales. I can do one too if needed.
My 97 gained 200 lbs going from stock 1fz to a 97 12 valve.
Using the bump stop method I’m somewhere around 4 1/2 inches.
For reference, the lowest point on my frame to the ground is 23 1/2 inches (I’m running 37 inch coopers)
@Vasopressor what size tires are you running?
