That sucks! How are you making out with your ride? Is it back in action?

Yep! Back to grooming those trails! Gotta change my pulleys out and fix my rear quarter panel.

Then I have to fix a rattle from a piece of bumper support in my front bumper. Don't know how it got loose, but it did. Oh well!

It's never gonna be finished lol

I have some custom built skids coming from XTOR4x4 soon, and then a fully custom designed (by yours truly) and built rear bumper from XTOR4x4.

Gonna be a whole lot of fun to get my rig lifted more and built up for some more hard-core wheeling

Wait, you fixed your transmission? Are you running a 6 speed now?:driving:

I wish!!!! No I'm running a 2008 transmission and the gearing is different. I have a lot more low end torque because 2006+ had the improved 1GR-FE with more power. It had 123k on it, but I'm not worried at all. It cost me $535 and install was $424 through Toyota, when most places quoted $900+. I can't complain!

They swapped my transmissions while they were fixing my rear main seal

Nice! I'm glad youre back in action. I should be getting mine back today or tomorrow. Then, its OME in the spring, since my shocks are shot.

What are you thinking for suspenders?

Trying to nail down a shock/ spring combo for mine but can't decide...

I'm torn between the 884's and 885's. I would love to get bumpers further down the road, but realistically, I don't think they are going to happen, so I think I'm going with the softer ride of the 884's.

You're running 884's with Bilstein 5100's right? The 884 doesn't lift as much, so you can adjust the height to compensate. I want 885's and 895's in the rear to accommodate the addition of skids and bumpers soon

 

[rfuree11]

I'm prob going to go with the OME shocks, too.

Is this from the same company that you ordered your rock sliders from? How do you like them?

You should think about going with the 885. Eventually you will probably end up getting bumpers sliders and skid plates and will have to upgrade the suspension anyways.

Part of my lack of making a decision is choosing a proper spring rate.

Curious as to the opinons on springs for a vehicle that will see some offroad but also does some towing.

No interest in add-ons such as bumpers or a winch but perhaps sliders at the most...

Yep! I love my sliders. They took a little while to get, but they were cheap and built completely to my requests; i.e. how far they stick out, angle of the steps, length, shape, and so on.

Can't wait to get my skids!

Did you get the BAMF sliders or from somewhere else?

I got custom built sliders from XTOR4x4. I love em!

 

[replica9000]

Did you put them on yet?

 

[emelianenkov]

In August I believe. Right after the sandy neck meet.

 

[replica9000]

Looks nice. I'll eventually get some when my N-Fab steps get in the way offroading.
