Got it back together with 2 full turns onto the Toytec coilover on the driver side. WAs quite the ordeal finding someplace to remove and replace the bushings on both the lower arms. I do know that if I ever bend another....going to get some of those aftermarket ones from Solo Motorsports. Also...

It must've been a really good hit for sure. When lying both sides next to each other the rear mounting point on the driver side arm is atleast a half inch higher than passenger side. So when the mounts are set evenly on the bench the ball joint end winds up being REALLY tweaked up at an odd...

Figured it out! Bent LH LCA! As soon as I can figure out the pics thing I'll post them up. Now hoping can find one close by tomorrow in one the local salvage yards!

It still needs the lower bushings, and having the LCAs off I will be able to see if there is anything bent or out of whack. Short of that all that's left is bent knuckle or frame bent/twisted. The vastness of this incredible place puts most of us much further away than most of the lower 48...

I figured I’ve lurked through enough troubleshooting on here with no luck on my issue. So I’ll let you in on my problem child and see what kind of ideas I get. I’ve got a 99 SR5 5spdT4R that I bought from a college student a couple months ago. It had a 3” spacer lift up front, +3 coils in the...

I just replaced a spacer lift on the front of my 99 SR5 with a set of ToyTec Boss 2.0 Aluma coilovers with 600# springs. Ordered on Wednesday and had them in my hands (in Alaska mind you!) Friday afternoon. And I think they are doing a 10% off July 4th sale too. Worth checking out.

Sounds like a score! I'm getting ready to do the TBU on my 99 when I install my new Toytec coilovers tonight after work. Finally will be able to get rid of the "college-kid" installed spacer lift with the springs on the wrong side of course!

Good luck on your selling the PC SR5! I've noticed also the desire for 4Rs has slowed down further south from you down here in the Mat-Su. I know a guy down here got a 1st Gen Taco with what the owner stated was a "possible blown head gasket" for $300! He just threw a can of Bluedevil Head...

I am wondering how those Toytec Aluma coilovers are holding up? I've got a 99 3rd gen with the Coastal High Clearance bumper, Coastal full skids, and a smitty 12k winch with the Coastal rear bumper with dual swingouts in the near future. I'm looking at those aluma coils myself but concerned with...

Yeah another one! I actually figured that out when I first saw the username. Kind of hard to miss that reference up here.

Congrats! I was looking for one of these, but i ran into a salvage titled 3rd gen that I couldn't pass up down here in the Anchorage area. Snapped it up and haven't looked back yet. Can't wait to get it out wheeling, is in the shop as we speak having a Coastal skidplate welded up and the Coastal...
