Help me with my Front Billy Setting and I will play nice. :)

You must mistake me for someone who gives a crap. It is a message board nothing more. Thanks for the giggles. I did make some good funnies no? Why so so serious? :clap2:

I'm more likely to have mistaken you for a teenager.


The thing is.. the guys that contribute here do give a crap. They can still have fun and cut up without being annoying to others. If you can't manage that, I'd expect your tenure here to be short lived. The good news is most of the stuff you ask has been discussed already, so even when you are banned you can still learn, thanks to the guys you are pissing off.

Dear "huh,"

Unlike you, I have found the folks on this forum to be incredibly helpful, resourceful, and even entertaining.

I modded my 4Runner a little bit and each time I had questions, my questions had already been answered and I merely had to do a bit of reading to find what info. I needed, or I asked for help and was really grateful that people here like helping newbies in their spare time.

In the spring my 4Runner had a major issue in North Carolina where we were vacationing, and even though it was not immediately helpful, people responded quickly and did their best to offer advice.

On the General Discussions section of the forum, another member helped me negotiate a route through NYC to get a horse out on Long Island and bring him home. Just the idea of driving my truck and trailer through the Bronx was enough to give me heart palpitations, so I was very grateful to have someone offer helpful advice.

I guess you can choose to be whatever type of person you'd like, on here and in life in general, but I think it's weird to call people names and then turn around and ask those same people for help.

Life is short. It's strange to go out of your way to be nasty. And I know someone on here already called you a teenager, but I teach over 100 of them every day, and dude, there isn't one of them that's like you.

We don't want you to leave. You are exactly like the kid every middle school had that had a "Kick Me" sign taped to his back. Everyone kicked him and he had no clue why. He just kept running his mouth all the time to no effect.
The entertainment value was sublime. Go ahead, keep hanging around. If someone starts to take you seriously I have saved the post of you trashing the guy who tried to help you. BTW all your questions have been asked and answered ad nauseam. Go search...

we don't all have 900 hours to plod through endless search results. let people who want to answer, answer and if you don't have an answer why bother saying "search". and he said he did search already for ****s sake.

was any of this lately? because lately the only answers are "search" if you're not already part of the cool guy club. someone helped you, is it so strange to think someone might help someone new with something other than 'go search"?

olice: go search :toilet:

 

[Marcocopuffs]

Everyone chill out. everyone annoyed with ghostnote and posting here to antagonize him isn't making anything better, not will it make him less of a nuisance. You can't fight fire with fire. Also, how many new topics can there be on a forum? Stuff is going to be asked again and again. I mean there are like 80 posts about future 4runners which have nothing at all to do with the current generation.

 

[GhostNote]

It actually would be nice to hear from someone that has had something a bit and able to give info. Don't be a :cheer2: and don't come into someone else's thread just to be a ..... .... :hat:


Told you i would be nice :hurt:

 

[sandcrawler]

i love the limp-wristed, bizarro-world extortion of "if you help me, i'll stop being a troll"—it's priceless.

the fact that the mundane, much-covered subject is a Bilstein/SAW setup—with questions about the "right" spring perch—just makes it all the more absurd.

as you were.

It must be the holier than thou complex over here in the 5th gen Forum. :crazy:


3rd Gen Guys are happy to help...



You guys need to find a large square object. Sit on it then spin! :boink:

 

[GhostNote]

I don't miss my 98 4runner one bit. :banana:

 

[JET4]

I don't miss my 3rd,4th, or 5th generation either. Still own all three. :clap2:

 

[DRICHEY]

This is my suggestion : Set it to 2.5.

This is me helping you: Over the "Interwebs" you sound like someone who wants all the attention...which, as a man, is pathetic and unbecoming a man.

So have it set it to 2.5, then when you don't like it anymore, throw on some fresh skinny jeans and wash/moisturize those hands, drive that birthday present down to the shop and have those Men redo all their hard work, and while their at it, have em check the blinkers/tire pressure/oil for ya... And bring that reassuring news back home to Momma.

shockworks bumper will lower the front of your billies 7/8"

unfortunatly the springs will have sagged a inch by the time you get the bumper.


do the math, hope that helps


and with a aftermarket upper arm you can get it within alignment specs if its lifted just over 3"

 

[NorthWest 4R]

My suggestion to you is install your Billy's without the c-clip even installed, that way it's just like the big boy coilovers, " adjustable BRO"

 

[GhostNote]

:cheers: Time to read up on removing stock bumper. So I don't have to be told to search by the "cool guys" : :cheer2:

I don't think they are very good at the internet:redbrick:


This set up will do fine.

I will wait for the bumper and a better suspension lift will go on at the same time. :artist2:

Well now, one winter it was so cold that all the geese flew backward and all the fish moved south and even the snow turned blue. Late at night, it got so frigid that all spoken words froze solid afore they could be heard. People had to wait until sunup to find out what folks were talking about the night before.

Paul Bunyan went out walking in the woods one day during that Winter of the Blue Snow. He was knee-deep in blue snow when he heard a funny sound between a bleat and a snort. Looking down, he saw a teeny-tiny baby blue ox jest a hopping about in the snow and snorting with rage on account of he was too short to see over the drifts.

Paul Bunyan laughed when he saw the spunky little critter and took the little blue mite home with him. He warmed the little ox up by the fire and the little fellow fluffed up and dried out, but he remained as blue as the snow that had stained him in the first place. So Paul named him Babe the Blue Ox.

Well, any creature raised in Paul Bunyan's camp tended to grow to massive proportions, and Babe was no exception. Folks that stared at him for five minutes could see him growing right before their eyes. He grew so big that 42 axe handles plus a plug of tobacco could fit between his eyes and it took a murder of crows a whole day to fly from one horn to the other. The laundryman used his horns to hang up all the camp laundry, which would dry lickety-split because of all the wind blowing around at that height.

Whenever he got an itch, Babe the Blue Ox had to find a cliff to rub against, 'cause whenever he tried to rub against a tree it fell over and begged for mercy. To whet his appetite, Babe would chew up thirty bales of hay, wire and all. It took six men with picaroons to get all the wire out of Babe's teeth after his morning snack. Right after that he'd eat a ton of grain for lunch and then come pestering around the cook - Sourdough Sam - begging for another snack.

Babe the Blue Ox was a great help around Paul Bunyan's logging camp. He could pull anything that had two ends, so Paul often used him to straighten out the pesky, twisted logging roads. By the time Babe had pulled the twists and kinks out of all the roads leading to the lumber camp, there was twenty miles of extra road left flopping about with nowhere to go. So Paul rolled them up and used them to lay a new road into new timberland.

Paul also used Babe the Blue Ox to pull the heavy tank wagon which was used to coat the newly-straightened lumber roads with ice in the winter, until one day the tank sprang a leak that trickled south and became the Mississippi River. After that, Babe stuck to hauling logs. Only he hated working in the summertime, so Paul had to paint the logging roads white after the spring thaw so that Babe would keep working through the summer.

One summer, as Babe the Blue Ox was hauling a load of logs down the white-washed road and dreaming of the days when the winter would feel cold again and the logs would slide easier on the "ice", he glanced over the top of the mountain and caught a glimpse of a pretty yeller calf grazing in a field. Well, he twisted out of his harness lickety-split and stepped over the mountain to introduce himself. It was love at first sight, and Paul had to abandon his load and buy Bessie the Yeller Cow from the farmer before Babe would do any more hauling.

Bessie the Yeller Cow grew to the massive, yet dainty proportions that were suitable for the mate of Babe the Blue Ox. She had long yellow eyelashes that tickled the lumberjacks standing on the other end of camp each time she blinked. She produced all the dairy products for the lumber camp. Each day, Sourdough Sam made enough butter from her cream to grease the giant pancake griddle and sometimes there was enough left over to butter the toast!

The only bone of contention between Bessie and Babe was the weather. Babe loved the ice and snow and Bessie loved warm summer days. One winter, Bessie grew so thin and pale that Paul Bunyan asked his clerk Johnny Inkslinger to make her a pair of green goggles so she would think it was summer. After that, Bessie grew happy and fat again, and produced so much butter that Paul Bunyan used the leftovers to grease the whitewashed lumber roads in summer. With the roads so slick all year round, hauling logs became much easier for Babe the Blue Ox, and so Babe eventually came to like summer almost as much as Bessie.
