Delta's 2002 Tacoma 4WD Build and BS

I'd have to keep mine, so when they need rebuilt I can still use my truck. Or learn how to rebuild them (shouldn't be hard just messy)

 

I still have my stock shocks I could throw on in the meantime, would have some crazy rake lol

But how often do they need rebuilding?

 

It's honestly not that hard to valve coilovers. I've helped my dad revalve his quite a few times and it's not messy at all... unless you forget to clamp down the shock I really think it's harder to get the compression and rebound on point then anything else. Just do your homework and you'd be fine.

 

Every X amount of miles, not real sure

That's what I'm thinking, not hard but with there not being any local shops that I'd trust to do it, I may as well learn and save a few bucks

 

I'd search around on Pirate 4x4. I remember there was a thread talking about maintaining a trail rig. Depending how many trails you do in a year. The guy said if you running the rig every weekend, then rebuild shocks and coilovers every year to every other year.

 

Link to thread?

 

I'll see if I can find it again. Been quite some time since I last saw it.

 

ADS said wheeling twice a month equals a rebuild in 3-4 years.

 

Awesome, really close to pulling the trigger on a set of ADS.... Just need to save a bit more.

 

Damn you must work a lot then!

 

Are ADS really worth the extra $$$? Im all for supporting local but they are expensive! Maybe I'm just cheap. Either way my ome wont be going anywhere for a while.

 

Gotta feed the mod addiction somehow haha.

 

I would be feeding my mod addiction... DoR won't let me get employed though

 

Same price as icon with RR.

I agree with buy once cry once. After I get this shock then I'll only be doing rebuilds on it. I'm thinking for now I know I don't go offroading a lot but that may change in the future. So I guess I'd rather be prepared.

 

How much do you work? I feel like I work a decent amount plus school, but now way in hell I could get Kings anytime soon. Damn bills

 

Right now two jobs, about 60 +/- hours a week. I really only like to buy one big item a year usually during the summer because that's when I works the most.

 

Ah well that's how you do it haha

 

Hey, @4Running Daily how did you mount the RR in the new location. Did they make a new mounting bracket for you?

 

Mounting brackets the same, but I have custom resi hoses.

 

This is his.
