just a heads up, I sold my 01 land cruiser, pristine , original owner, 88k mi for 11750, 6 month ago...And that was posted for 3 month before anyone even offered anything. tradein was appraised at 9k from multiple dealers
Im now shopping for an 03 and up as well, and it seems that dealers...
There's a way to disable the vsc for damn near free(pin 7 mod?)but I would want vsc enabled for my wife to be honest. It's a great system but for whatever reason it gets confused at times. It's only happened a couple times on my fjc in the 2 years that I owned it. They just happen to always be...
From my experiences its always the tires(oversized, under inflated, worn) that cause vsc to act out of the ordinary. My fjc had the exact same thing you described when I was going through a canyon. It nearly pulled me into the opposing lane. I could get it to consistently do the same thing on...
If you recently purchased it, the previous owner might have used a cheap(lifetime warranty) pad from pep boys. Those tend to not have much braking torque. My stocks feel great on 33's. and I tend to load to capacity a few times a month.
I'm not a fan on changing the entire system. All of my track cars have been able to withstand enormous brake stress without going with a large "eye candy" setup, including those cars that are known to have weak setups.
In a nutshell, warping is caused by uneven wheel torquing and excessive...
I'm not t'ed and I had one of my lines pop off. Surprisingly it held the load evenly bc swaybar was distributing the load. I t'ed my last install on my fjc and I didn't like the sway it caused on the road, but it did help with articulation on the trails. I wish I had a valve so that I could open...
Yikes! My wheels usually come off with a nice horse kick :) but I did have a wheel fused to the axle once, and I jus rigged up the wheel to a support pole with a ratcheting tie down until it came loose. It near dragged my truck across the floor but it worked. Be sure to add anti seize on the hub...
It's my daily and my front shocks have disconnected themselves at the shaft :/
The 2.0 listed here is an aluminum body internal float piston vs a steel body emulsion shock. The aluminum gives it the oil capacity characteristics of the 2.5 steel body bc the aluminum cools quicker. Not to...
Damn, 3 weeks wait time on these too.... Seems like the magic number. However I did place my order and orw is selling them below list of $130. I bought some bilstein 4600's locally until then. Ill post these up in 3 weeks after I get my fox installed.
I agree, and I've run quite a few shocks on trucks and track cars. As well as bend my 99 taco and 07 titan frame from running them hard in the desert. Thanks again for all of this input! It's amazing how many times I've googled landcruiser shocks and not find any of the options listed here. I'm...
