ORI STRUTS

does anyone have ori struts in a LT 2nd Gen Taco ? im thinking of buying some ori struts and really am curious of what people think. i think its alot cleaner . and some people say they work way better then coilovers and they are lighter and no bump stops and there about the same price. thanks

 

First welcome to TW, I have seen them on crawlers, jeeps and such have yet to see them on a long travel desert vehicle(s). BAMF carry's them and uses them I believe.

Yeah ive seen them on crawlers aswell , just there soo badass looking , im really badgering on getting them instead of coilovers i just dont wanna kick myself if i hate themm

 

You guys think it wont workkk well???

 

Well i live in canada so not really so much desert , but eventually i will be yeas

 

IIRC, they did a test with them vs quadruple bipass kings, and they performed better and stayed cooler.

 

They have not really been tested too much on IFS Tacoma's at hight speeds they work very well on the road and crawling with IFS we have just yet to test them with LT on our end. KOH trucks run them at high speeds but they are much lighter then our trucks. There is one guys on TTORA with LT running them but I haven't heard any feed back on them.

That said on my solid axle rig they handle nice at speed soaking up the whoops nice (Well the ones I take no desert here) But 60+ on rough roads with 3' whoops that send you air born they take it nice

 

Then id imagine they would work very good then , ive heardd nothing but good things about them and how much better they are then coilovers and what nott soo its a tuff decision cause they look soo badass

 

I wouldn't base your decision on looks, go with what will work for your needs.

I will find it, I saw a link in Jerry's thread which took me to another website.

 

Well its just a positive that they look good , like i said everyone that ive talked too has said nothing but good things

 

They don't have fading issues as much as you would think they stay very cool. The loss of pressure issue is still there for sure but you would have to brake something for that to happen.

Would I race them on a Tacoma IFS i don't think so. Would I run them on my weekend toy sure would. If you ran a duel set up with ORI's with LT I think they would run awesome once you get them tuned.

 

Well i dont hit the desert all the time but if i came down there and wanted to hit the desert you think it will be okay for some minor jumping ? Hahah and mob threw some whoops

 

you should be able to bash them as hard as you want, like he said above KOH rigs race through boulders the size of busses with them.

 

I orderd my camburg LT kit yesterday and im juat stuck between ordering the ori's or ordering king 2.5x8" coilovers , i have icons right noww there pretty good, just want more travel , and the oris have that haha but so do the coilovers , but ive heard alot of great things about the oris and alot of people telling me to try thenm soo thats why im just seeing what you guys think , thanks alot guys !

 

Yeah truee

 

ORI's. Putting mine on this week.

 

Hahaha

 

Well if im not racing thenn fuck itt , im just fucking around hitting a couple jumps and hitting some bumps , just a fun truck , in saying that im sure there gonna be good

 

Yep in total agreement.

 

Any update, OP?
