Already had these.





They were the smallest in a variety of other "O" rings, that were unusable. Hahaha.

Hopefully tackle tomorrow afternoon.

You coming to my Birthday Party? Just a 4 hour drive!

I hate (my) birthdays. An annual reminder that, though I feel twenty in some ways, I'm not.

Mines the 24th. Be 29.....for the 9th time. Hahaha.

I'm actually Houston bound that weekend for sisters baby shower. Don't know if I can talk my wife into taking my Lexus, instead of hers, but going to map quest the distance anyway.

Get back to you on.

[devildogcruiser25]

Holy smokes. I would say you have easily surpassed original purchase price of an LX450. Nice work sir! I can't believe you have had this a year. Seems like just yesterday you were pulling the ol girl into your driveway.

 

[Delancy]

Has been a whirlwind.

Posted to establish value in the event of my demise.

I task you to count the beans, if the wife has to liquidate. WAIT until then though. I don't want to know.

Hahaha.

 

[Fireman]

And still no shocks!

 

[Delancy]

And still no shocks!

I know, but a valid explanation.

Inherent to the flexy coils is the dead space at the upper rungs, almost like a 2" spacer on top of a 2" coil ( total 4" lift ).

When I checked max compression using forklift, I believe the coils bound due to the extra material in the upper rungs that keep the coil in the bucket at full droop, but none of the pros agree with me and all have suggested pulling shocks, coils, and cycling to double check my findings.

During the interim, changed wheels and tires, so another variable that wasn't factored.

Don't have the coils compressed dimensions, though, which leads me to believe that the best approach is to cram the tire into the well, cut the well, them lift until coil is compressed, measure, them order longest possible based on compressed number.

Haven't had time nor facilities, but it's coming. I can't stand the ride quality of the OMEs.

 

[Fraglerock]

Haven't had time nor facilities, but it's coming.

Based on the list provided, I think this goes without saying, HA!

Lots of good work done so far though, can't wait to see the list after this year is through.

 

[Delancy]

Hopefully the list will include more wheeling pics.
