What'd you do to your KREWESER today?

Unfortunately my money tree is not quite that fruitful!

Now if I could get rid of a couple of these kids, or at least the tuition, that would free up some mod cash!

John, you'll have to check T4R to see of it will work on your 3rd gen but I know that a bunch of 4th gen guys use Bilstein 5100's and FJ coils to lift the front. You should be able to get some FJ coils in the cheap.

I know it works for the 4th gen but I'm not sure about the 3rd. I think I did see some talk about it. Most people seem to use Ome, Tundra coils, or the adjustable coilovers. I was wanting to go with the adjustable because I want to start out with a mild lift while my daughter is driving it, then go all the way when I kick her out of the house and I get it back. (that is if I can keep it away from my son)

I installed this

I put my plate on today, too. It's not that cool, but the first three characters are WMD. Not sure if that's a good or bad sign!

 

[mbjohn68]

The first 3 letters of my plate ar VOR which in the parts world is a code for a priority order. It stands for "Vehicle Off Road". I thought it was fitting.

Mine is VWB, I got nothing.

I might be getting one of those environmental plates soon though

Got my rear springs and shocks installed today. The ride is MUCH Better!!

Looks good. Was it difficult?

 

[mbjohn68]

Pretty easy overall except for the top shock mounts. There is not much room. It took me a while to get the first old shock off as the nut was frozen. I ended up cutting it off. The other side took about five minutes. I got a BIG pair of channel locks to hold the shock and was able to breal the nut loose.

The Bilstein 5125's have an eye mount at the top instead of a stud. The ones I got from Toytec came with an adaptor. these were a little difficult to install because the adaptors are attached using a 24mm nut with a nylon insert it takes a lot of cranking power with very limited room. if the shock is attached to the adaptor, the shock turns. If not then the adaptor turns.

I'm not sure If i am too fond of the adaptor design but the shocks are good. Time will tell how they hold up. I might have chosen a different option if I knew then what I know now.

It definately takes care of the rear sag problem and the ride is much improved.
