What have you done to your ride lately?

[tex]

Ordered a new lift today. Went with the BOSS kit from Toytec and added the heavier springs front and rear. Also got some extended rear brake lines. Once it comes in I will be swapping out the Icon and selling it.

Ordered OEM lower ball joints, bolts, and sway bar bushings today for my '01 4Runner. Hopefully I will get to swap out the ball joints this weekend. Now that I know one is leaking they have me a little nervous.

I'm sure you posted this somewhere else, but I'm too lazy to search. What didn't you like about the Icon setup?

Their build quality has sucked for the last few years. He, and a bunch of others I've seen, have had seal issues due to imprecise build...

That and they use the wrong offset bushings.

When is the mod day? My replacement shock is due in on Friday. But we are going to New York this weekend. I don't know whose idea it was to go to some yankee state but I don't like it.

Did you have that issue as well? I think Roger also did, but can't be sure where I saw that.

It's better than Jersey......unless NYC

I may install it on Sunday since it is supposed to be delivered tomorrow but if not it will probably be next weekend.

Pretty much what @SecretSquirrel said. I already had to send my front coils for a rebuild under warranty due to puking fluid. They said the shafts were not in spec and machined new ones. Everything is fine with them for now but due to many others having issues with them I felt it was a good time to sell it off and still get a decent amount of money for them. The performance of them has been really good so there is that.

It's a known issue on FJCs, 4Runners and I would assume Tacomas. You need to use washers between the bushings and the LCA tabs. If you don't when you tighten everything down the bushings slip out of place or you have to bend in the LCA tabs.

Unfortunately it is NYC. Luckily it's just 24 hours.

Long enough to catch a case of libtardism

If that happens someone please shoot me and burn my corpse so it doesn't infect others.

NYC = gun free zone. They will "love" you to death

 

[Mitt78]

Well shit...drawn, quartered and disembowled? That's a proper punishment for being infected by liberals right?

 

[Oswego]

Just going there is punishment enough.

I drive up 2-3 times a month to visit clients and while I'm not a big fan of shitys seems the more time you spend in them the less I hate them. Thats how they get you.

Can we include your FJ in the next TO-R Christmas?

And curse someone with Icons? I know it's TO-R but that's just not right.

Every gift has a dirty part to it. The Icons will be that part.

Replaced the TC UCA bushings on the Taco. Also started redoing the small ARB compressor and locker wiring. When I was doing the UCA bushing's I also pulled the battery and decided to do a little more with the wiring on it. Not done, but upgrading the ground wires and adding a couple more pieces of split loom on things.

 

[TacoXpo]

Oh yeah that's right. You have a 1-piece DS.

Maybe it's time for a two piece one.

I'm pretty sure the majority of the high pitched squeaking was the UCA bushings (they are now on order) the other noise I was getting a sensation from was a sorta growling under load and off load. I was also getting some vibes at about 75-80MPH. So I am suspecting the DS has something going on in it. That being said I ordered a new one of those as well.

What chu doing drivin so fast? have you checked your u-joint angles?
