I have searched all the other torsion bar threads (inc the main one here FAQ) but can't find the answer
I'm fitting Iron Man torsion bars. In the instructions, and even in the video (at 17 mins in this video Iroman USA ) they feed the bar through the cross member, then align the front cup T...
Hey guys
I was reading along your lines already for a few weeks/ months and the forum helped me to choose the right LC model: so thanks for that! :-)
Just yesterday I bought a 1999 LC, 269k miles, nicely serviced and 20 years owned by the same lady, all life in California, ...
Quite some stuff...
I installed OME 2865 coils a few months ago and cranked up my OEM torsion bars less than 1.5 inches and then had had it aligned. The steering became super light and I ended up with a shimmy in the steering wheel around 70mph. The shocks are new OEM, the UCA is original and I have not added a...
My '06 LX has a front bull bar (no winch), sliders and drawer system in the back. I don't usually pack heavy and it's typically two adults and a dog in the back. Suspension is AHC with King KTRS-79 coils and AHC torsion bars. I checked my AHC pressures yesterday and the back was 5.7 MPa (well...
Hi guys - i'm preparing to throw out the AHC. I read some of you spend hours trying to undo the torsion arm bolts - i expect given the age (22 yrs), rust, my bolts are not going to come out easy without a fight either. So would like to have new replacements on standby for the items marked in...
Hi guys. I have a 2002 LC100 with complete 2.5 arb lift kits. I got an Ironman bumper and warn winch. So I got a lot of weight in the front, and in order to lift up the from fit 35s I'm wondering what adjustment I should do to the torsion bar such as adjusting the torsion bar spin offset. For...
Hello!
Are there any significant downsides to using new OEM shocks with aftermarket torsion bars/springs for a 2" lift? Will these shocks function properly with that amount of lift or will aftermarket shocks be a lot better?
Also, any recommendations on Dobinsons torsion bar + springs vs OME...
I put on an arb deluxe bumper and have noticed that my front end is riding lower due to the increased weight. 34” in the front and 36.25” which is 2.25” difference and then I looked up the oem difference and it was .75” differential, making me believe that I should adjust the torsion to increase...
I've been pondering the idea of replacing stock, original springs on my 2002 LX (177K miles) with Dobinsons 220 lbs load springs (or something near-equivalent). Mainly for the benefit of extra load, as I don't tow but have significant tongue weight from hauling bikes around. I've tried to do my...
All parts are from my 2000 LX 470 100 series vehicle @175K Miles. Recently did an AHC delete with IMFC; so these parts are available. This car has never gone through winter; as you can see no rust or salt damage.
Pickup required in Santa Monica, CA. Will ship across US. Shipping not included in...
Hello and Happy New Year Everyone,
I installed new Old Man Emu torsion bars back in April and got an alignment, and a few months after I switched over, I noticed the left side was sagging about an inch lower than the right, so I went and got it realigned. About a week later the left side was...
Hi,
I’ve done a bit of searching but nothing definitive has popped up other than check loose nuts etc. I put on new front oem Toyota struts in the front the other night and test drove, it was great. Then last night I put on ome 2860 rear springs with new oem Toyota struts in rear and cranked...
The previous owner of my rig (2000 LC) did an Old Man Emu Lift/Suspension upgrade. That appears to have included OME torsion bars, at least I assume because the new ones are grey and not black. I was under the truck the other day and noticed the back end of passenger side torsion bar is...
I bought this 99 LX470 with the AHC already disabled and was told the suspension was replaced at the dealer with LC suspension. I'm trying to verify the Torsion bars were changed, I'm assuming there is a difference in diameter, does anyone know what the diameter of each are? The front seems...
