RZR 170. Bought a used one last Christmas for the boys. Three months later Owen tried to drive thru a 30 yr old pine. Been in the garage waiting on repairs ever since.
What mod did you add to your Toyota this weekend? (1 Viewer)

@LittleRock80 and @Tireguy87 and any other RLC'er that has a Hunnerd. If you haven't done so already.....
CHECK YO HEATER HOSE TEE'S!!
Knew mine were needing some attention for some time. Showed signs of leakage. One completely fell apart as soon as I tried to remove it. Crisis averted narrowly.

@fjfodee funny you mention that. I had the motor cover off inspecting mine today. I also noticed some dried coolant around them so I'll be ordering new ones ASAP. I'm also trying to chase down the reason why my driver side floor board keeps getting water in it. I blew out my sunroof vents today with the air hose so we will see if that helps. When I removed the weathertech liner, the carpet was completely damp...

My 80 has that problem too. Have to blow those vents out occasionally.
My T's are not original, but I think they need to be done again. What are the cool kids replacing them with these days? TEQ or something from Home Depot?

Ha. Cool kids use TEQ.
Added 4 new OEM toyota shocks, OME 2860 rear springs, replaced all the sway bar links, cranked the torsion bars...
BEFORE: Frt sagged to 18", RR sagged to 19.5"
AFTER: Frt at 20.25, RR at 22.0 and the whole thing is much tighter

Did you have to get it aligned after cranking the T-bars? Tire size? Pics?
I have an extra pair of 860's laying around and have been wanting to do this.
So I gave the TBs one more crank and drove it around, measured again...Frt 20.5 Rr 22.0...and here is a pic of it today...overcast, not great pic...slicks(Mich LTX 275/70/16)...bought another set of stock wheels to put some 285/75/16 Muds on...will likely get alignment checked when I'm sure Im done tweaking for a while...should only need a slight camber adjustment
Spent the past couple weeks putting the diamond in! Just took my time and did everything myself. Quite the learning experience lol. Had a few things that had to be addressed. The biggest thing being my SCS wheels wouldn't fit completely over the hub due to the smaller o.d. beveled lip that holds the center cap. Had to have that lip machined off. Also snapped an ARP hub stud putting the nut on. Brian seems to think it was defective. He's only seen a handful of these do this. Lower shock mount fought me for forever b/c the i.d. of the shock eye bearing was very close to the o.d. of the shock mount. Other than that, went over well.

Gives folks something to admire and be distracted by while you are changing CV's in the front.

I've got a 20 on that
Looks great, dude! Be careful with the lower shock mounts, they look like they could get you hung up...
Did you end up doing line locks for an e brake?

Thanks dude! I know, I really want to redo the shock location. No, I skipped it for now. I'm working on an idea for a transfer case brake. I know a guy that's getting rid of his custom setup for a v6. I just don't know if it's going to work with my transfer case since it has that electronic "box" (for lack of better words) sticking off it for what I believe controls the 'AWD' mode. If that doesn't work then I guess line lock for now.
SNORKEL. Nice.
