This is something that has been bothering me since I bought the truck and now that its down to the frame in preparation for an SOA setup I gotta ask a few questions. And yes I have probably spent over 30 hours in the last 4 weeks reading through post here on mud.
The PO did a shackle reversal...
Good Afternoon Group,
Working with a forum member on a build, but wanted to get some opinions, comments and advice on this.
With the new 2017 LC200:
I am going to install the Icon Coilover Stage 3 or 5, not sure yet, but regardless looking to lift the vehicle give it a more aggressive yet...
I had been trying to find spring eye bushings for our 40, they measured 1 3/8". When ever I talked to venders trying to find these they would say we don't have them, I was in the process of trying to find a 1 3/8 bushing with a 15mm pin hole. Then decided to convert 1 3/8" just to see how close...
Hello everyone, I'm an oddball.
I want STOCK replacement springs for my bone stock 80, and here's the impossible: ones that haven't been squashed under a heavy 80 for 20 years. Mine are currently about 1/2" from the bump stops when I take everything out, even the 3rd row seats. While most used...
Yes I searched, aarrggh....maybe I skimmed right past the info.
Need the OME torque spec for their greasable spring hanger pin....the fixed end pin.
Toyota FSM spec is something like 95 ft/lb, I don't remember the fixed pin nut on the Emu's being anywhere near that high. I took it to 60 ft/lb...
I just found and ordered a set of 30mm set of front spring spacers to get rid of my stink bug.
Found them on Summit Racing's website for about $55 shipped.
WHITELINE W73404
Has anyone used these or their control arm bushings? I would like to hear some reviews.
Thank you,
Doing my seal behind the harmonic balancer today as well as the pile pump cover seal. Took off harmonic balancer and had a small pic in behind the seal pulling it out. Well....it also caught a very thin spring and pulled it out as well. Have no clue what this thing is, where it goes, etc. Want...
I purchased a 1980 fj 40 from a dealer and didn't think I was buying a bunch of crap put together from several different years until getting into it.
The newest project, or should I call it the newest problem, is the springs. I orderd replacement springs from skyjacker. When They arrived...
So the first outing went well in my new to me 86 SAS. I conquered a lot of Cove Campground at Ice Breakers this weekend.
Small issue popped up. I spent too much time redoing my front suspension and my rear was an utter failure. Nothing sidelined me but my shocks were pretty much done and I...
NO LONGER LOOKING, thanks!
Looking for a pair of rear spring spacers. Don't mind if they are used if they are still in good shape. Let me know! Thanks! Looking for the Slee or Ironman spacers or the likes. Not interested in the cheaper Mr. Gasket rubber spacers.
These were removed from my 1983 FJ60 when I installed a u-bolt flip kit and rear anti-inversion shackles. The truck has always lived in the dry southwest so only surface rust. Everything in the picture is included.
The rubber in the isolators is still good. The threads on one of the u-bolts is...
So the more I drive the wife's new GX the more I dislike the rear airbags. The overall ride of the rig is nice down the road, but certain things trigger the rear to unload side to side and I don't care for it. Couple that with the fact that I know the rears will eventually fail, and I'm...
On a '97 4Runner is the spring on the fuel door available separately and replaceable? Have lost the spring on the fuel door and am unsure if the entire fuel door assembly must be replaced to have a functioning spring loaded fuel door.
whats the best advice for a little cosmetic rehab? Im planning on using my stock leafs in this picture. I was going to pull them off and paint
1. Should I paint as whole unit after some wire brush work
2. Pull them a part have them blasted and painted
Road warrior rehab not a nut and bolt...
I'm relatively new Landcrusier owner.
I'm learning about the wonderful world of rolling restoration, maintenance and stuffing mitts full of $100 bills into my BJ to fix things. Still love it. Just installed an OME suspension system and now see that
my 81 BJ42 frame plates where my rear spring...
