Calling all Virginians (Tidewater area)

Thats what I got. They are good at getting it aligned to spec. Not so much for custom alignments... Once took it to a place in Va Beach and asked them to fix the camber. Turned out .4* was within spec so they didnt even touch it so be very specific what you ask. They can be just a sleazy as any other shop.

They could never get the LR UCA adjustment right so I took mine to a tech I knew well at Toyota and got the alignment dialed in they way I like it (basically maxed out caster to about 2.75*) and tell the firestone guy to only do the toe adjustment and use the LR upper ball joint to fix camber so caster stays untouched. He likes it because he can get it done much quicker than a typical alignment yet still get paid for a full alignment.

Pretty much this too.

 

So maxing out the caster being lifted will help keep the tire out of my firewall correct?
If so ill ask them to give me as much caster as they can when they do my alignment

 

I'm off the next three days, have a garage and air tools. What all are you trying to do?

What all are you planning on hitting up?

 

Maxing caster helps the tires run straight and not wander on the highway. You want 2.5-3* of caster for a lifted truck with 33's. You will still need to cut shit in your firewall to clear 33's and a cab chop mod to clear 35's

 

Wong gen problems ^

 

No plans yet. So far, I'm solo. That means no trails. Fine by me... I'll just burn wood and drink beer.

 

FYI, pizze and beer at my place Saturday if anyone wants to come over for a mod meet. Doing some work Friday too and will have beer if interested.

Rob, if you still need help with your lift, bring your 4runner by Saturday.

 

Reboot oem cv's or get napa remans with a lifetime warranty
That is the question

 

If you're going to wheel it, I would reboot. More articulation and much stronger than generic brands

 

I called napa and they sell remanned ones for 55 bucks with a lifetime warranty (as long as they arent used offroad, but if i wipe em off how would they know)notsure yet

 

Remanned OEM? OEM race? Thats a steal. CJV sells remanned OEM's for like $100+ each.

 

Yea remanned oems
Theres a core of like 90 bucks but if i turn mine it then theyre only 55 a piece so not bad

 

Hey guys thanks a lot for the offer and sorry for the late reply! I got Matt helping me out tomorrow afternoon to slap this suspension on.

 

Gotcha I had no coolant loss or white smoke or running hot either. I just started getting misfire code one day and rough running on start up for about 30 seconds. I only had 145k on mine when it went lol but don't let me scare you though just keep an eye on it just in case!

 

Turbo installed delayed a week. Kit is missing the Turbo exhaust Vband adapter; have to call cxracing and get it mailed... Also, beater car trans too a shit...

 

Does this mean mod day canx?

 

Ill def host saturday if anyone is interested. Going to be working on the IC and electrical/gauges probably. Just that no one has been interested except Tanner to help with the turbo install


If anyone wants to help me try to tear into a transaxel front weel drive 1980 Tercel Im game... Its going to be a pita though, heard its easier to lift the engine than drop the trans.

 

I will be putting these in or I would help.

 

I got 4link front SAS kit for Dawg... you think we can finish that?

 

I can swing by and give you a hand. Gonna do the turbo next weekend. Called CxRacing and getting the part mailed out this week.

Sure. Throw in a 5VZ swap and we'll call it a day.
