T4R is down! T4R Check In Here

everything ive owned has had cali lean, but thats a bi-product of always being at the beach. My friend is SUPER redneck and gives me so much shit about it. I measure 38" all around but as im sure you know, the rear fenders sit higher. So i have about an inch

 

That ain't too bad. You're running 5100's up front right?

 

Do you mean the Metal Tech springs?

Edit - I've got the MT springs, and I know you're going to Huckfest. I might go too if I can get a few friends to go. If you want, you can come for a test ride to see if you like them or not.

 

LOL yeaaah it's nothing new. I've been it in the head too many times. There's a huge knot and a big bruise, but I have no feeling of it hahaha, except when I touch it I feel it in the back of my head... nerve endings. No biggie.

Good to know, I'll wrap em in tape when I get them. I saw a pic that NwiTACO posted of his all wrapped up.

Thank's for the spring rate recommendation! That's actually around what I was shooting for!

 

I have tacoma struts up front. Bilsteins still but not 5100s

yeah, damn i kept thinking they were icons. How do they ride?

 

People are so fucking stupid these days. A month ago I contacted a TTORA member (he's on a bunch of forums too) and asked about a bracket for my supercharger. He said he had it and so I paid him. He then tells me he is vacation and will get it out when he gets back. That's fine, it's summer and I didn't need it right away. I wait a month and send him an email seeing when he will get it out. I hear nothing for a week, then finally he sends me an email about resending my email address. I do so promptly and I hear nothing for 4 days. Finally emails me this morning saying he can't get a hold of the machinist to make the bracket and doesn't have an ETA for me. WTF! I paid under the assumption of him having the bracket and he tells me he doesn't have one? So I email him back asking why he would make me pay for something he doesn't have and he responds that he didn't "make" me pay, but I voluntarily gave him money and he has a long line of people waiting for them so he'll happily refund my money. Fucking douche! Now I have to decide if I want to wait and postpone my sc install for who knows how long or refund my money and have to go through Toyota which it will be $250. I really hate people sometimes. Sorry for the rant.

 

That's some bullshit. Did he refund your money? Can't find one anywhere else?

 

He said he would refund me the money, but this bracket is sold only as a $250 package through Toyota. He is/was selling it for $75 so I'd like to get it from him since it's paid for, but with no ETA I'm pretty much screwed.

 

I bet BAMF could make any bracket he could, why not have him make it.

 

I'm going to see if Jerry can do that, but it's one of the bolts thats a pain to find. Pretty much only Toyota sells them and it's only with the package. I'm also going to contact Magnusson to see if they have some as well. He emailed me back and said he will have it by the end of the month, but I just don't know if I can trust him.

 

Well, compared to the 650 lb coils on my Icon's, I think they ride a lot nicer.

 

Anyone want a 1/2" body lift for a 3rd or 4th gen?

1996: $35 shipped
1997-2002: $40 shipped
2003-2009: $35 shipped

All will mail next day if anyone wants one!

Thanks guys. (Need to pay my rent soon lol)

 

I'm interested, I might need this once I install my sliders

 

It's also good for increasing tire travel without stuffing tires.

Wanna order now so I don't get evicted? Lol

 

awesome, Ill be ordering them soon. Thanks for the review on them. I still cant believe how my passenger side is lower with the daystar spacer in rear than the driver side.

 

Hey we have a nuts and bolts store here that carries a crap ton if really weird hard to find nuts and bolts. I would be more than happy to stop by and see if they have something that is gonna work for you

 

Sure if you have the time, if you can find it that would be awesome, but it's extremely rare except in large quantities. It's a M10x1.25x70mm flat head and the other is a M10x1.25x135mm Hex Head. I'm pretty sure the hex is easier to find, but the flat is going to be difficult. I'll probably just wait for the guy to send mine as I have no $ for the rest of the parts this month anyways.

 

My Dad bought this on Sunday, a 2010 VW GTI. It started making weird noises on Monday, it went to the dealer today, and a new turbo will be installed tomorrow (under warranty of course).
