Sounds like I’m way off base now - are we saying changing the perch doesn’t compress the spring any more than the stock condition? Essentially the spring force is at or exceeding corner weight off the bat? I may be looking at this from too micro a level (if I’m wrong that’s fine), but the idea...

What snivilous said (in a vacuum) is somewhat true but doesn’t read right to me (and this is obviously a super old post). He’s right in that the spring rate won’t change on linear coils, but the force exerted (by the spring) absolutely changes with compression (x). What snivilous said is...

I definitely think the original post was relevant and warranted. It’s good to know that corporate espionage occurred and can be traced. I also think you’ve done a great job of keeping the discussion civil and on track. OA

Good points. I guess it’s irrelevant to me if they “fabricated it from the ground up” if the end product is still so similar; that’s difficult to prove from any manufacturers. Don’t get me wrong though, I’m not in the market at all but if I was I’d purchase from relentless or SSO before that...

I don’t post here often at all anymore - mostly just lurk. But I’m curious. Other than the idea that this Venezuelan company purchased the Relentless Fab bumper for the sake of copying it, they clearly changed the design enough to be “different.” I’m putting different in quotes because the...

Great write up 1engineer! I followed almost the exact same steps as you did (except with fewer 4Runners to begin with). I took the 4Runner in for service one day last year and while I was waiting, they just finished putting a new LC in front of the show room. Took it for a spin and I...

To the top! Still for sale. OA

Bump! Still available! OA

Replied! OA

SOLD SOLD SOLD Full disclosure, I'm selling these for a close friend of mine who isn't active on the forums. FOR SALE: A set of 4 brand new in box SCS F5 wheels 16"x8". My buddy bought these with intent of dressing up his 2016 TRDOR Tacoma, but he's decided to move on from the truck and sell...

Kind of random - but do you get much grief from the cops in VA for not having front plates? Sweet build btw! OA

To mirror what everyone's already said, 16"s don't fit the brakes. One guy has run this specific wheel, however, with large spacers and by shaving the calipers. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/187516-ma_mu_-build-thread-offroading-pics-3.html#post1911919 OA

I've enjoyed watching this build from the beginning! Just a note on the Icons with 700# springs - definitely list them with the Tacoma crowd as well (tacomaworld specifically). The 3rd gen tacos come with super high spring rate springs up front - allegedly 700s. You may have some luck...

Lol fair enough. The edit helps for clarification. OA

Not calling you out specifically. But the fact is that's how these things play out. Enthusiast groups make up a small percentage of buyers. I'm not sure which vehicle you're referring to having a waiting list in CO (that's probably the case for any 4wd there). I'm SURE it wasn't the Jeep...
