I believe your nice comment needs no reply, except I did buy those bushings in 2017 & installed them in 2020.
Supply chains & demand have changed since then, things are getting stupid expensive if you can find the product in stock.
It appears that I have not posted within the last 2 years on...
Thank you gentleman for your suggestion & comments.
I have been pulling extra shifts at work to cover missing man power, (I've been getting a day off every 21st day since June) so I haven't had the time to take care of this. (hoping to get a 110v mig welder)
I will be driving as easy as possible...
The Delta DIY steering support brackets came in today.
They are beefy thick, didnt measure, but must be 1/4" thick.
But now that I am looking at them they dont directly address my panhard crack.
I will need to fab up some extra simple flat brackets like some of the Australian mfg. have in...
OH, NICE!
You are the Goldy coil guy on Instagram.
You have the same TourFlex coils I have.
Thanks for the share.
Stock bumps compress to 3.25" tall, your Timbrens compress to 1.5" so you need 1.75" of spacers to be OE stock. So you're roughly back to stock bumps in that picture.
I gave up on Curtis, years ago. I gave him all the info & specs, how much room he had to work with etc...etc.
Good points you mentioned.
I want to add a flat area like you did for your front bumps. I have to check the zip tie on the shock shaft to see how much room there is to play with.
It...
I might of over steped when making mention of 4runner coils.
A lot of 3rd gen 4runner guys put on 80 series stock coils get about 3" of lift.
So, 80 series fronts fit 3rd gen 4runner rear.

Heckraiser, Timbren sells SES & AOR bump springs. SES is for the constant load helper spring & the AOR...
I got the fronts on, decided to go ahead & use the Timbren brackets since I had them in hand.
I drilled the bolt hole forward .5" more to hit the axle dead center.
I also grinded down the pass. side bracket to makes sure the coils don't rub.
The Dobi coils rub cuz they banana, sooo back to the...
Hello all, as you know I have been on a Low Lift/Big Tire phase with my 80 series Lx450.
To run a low lift with big tires I realized the sacrifice is up travel. The Lx450 has been running with approx. 3 to 4" of up travel which leads to hitting the bump stops on a normal basis. After a while it...
THAT WRENCH is why I looked for my very own. I borrowed it from you while on the Dusy Ershim, It's a great way to CHECK-YOUR-NUTS while on the trail.
Yes, my bad batch egg shaped 37s are not helping.
The dreadful 45mph wobble has slowly been developing.
Yes, I have gone through the whole Rig-A-Ma-Row, bearings, bushings, nuts, joints etc...
I finally had a co-worker wiggle my steering & confirmed the crack in the front panhard frame bracket that I started to watch a while back.
I have a...
Replaced plugs after 41K with 214,286 on the clock.
What do you think, a little rich or lookin good? 1, 3 & 6 look a bit chard.
I never have cleaned my injectors yet. I run 89 oct with a bit advanced timing if any of that matters.
My commute is very short approx. 7 miles to work with 3 stop...
Just havin fun with the Lx450.
Been debating for years what to do with the paint scream.
Keep the UCA46 cladding color match bottom or go with a white bottom?
I have debated to put on KutSnake black fenders. I can unscrew them for serious wheelin.
Or go monster crazy.
Or some how put my...
I have a cool story to tell.
So fathersday is coming up... my wife was showing me some $25 items she wanted to buy me, I smiled at for a bit & she said I know that look so tell me. I said its too much, she said if you dont tell me it wont happen. I said 2nd row seat covers they are probly $500...
The Slinky's are back on, I wanted to get another inch of up travel so I could do faster bombing runs in the desert environment where I live.
The Dobinson 146VT coils are softer & flex better for rock crawling but the Skinky's have a firmer sporty feel to them.
The Delta "3L" arms with stock...
Thanks for the post @on the rocks
I cropped & lightened up the pic because dark vehicles are hard to see.
1" seems to make a big difference, did the firewall rubbing go away?
Added later: 3" suspension & 1" body Lift with the Delta 3L arms.
Yes, I agree we need to get pics of a 80 with uncut front fenders 37s on a 3" lift to make it more applicable.
@on the rocks just installed his Delta "5L" set on a 4" lift, maybe he can post up a strait on flat pic like mine to compare???
How is this one for you?
