The location changed or you changed it and then told everyone else? You not see why that isn't your sole decision? Play nice...I don't think there is anything that Jason has said thats not true....

 

yeah, that is a sick setup. time to hit up that group that goes up to Peacock Flats, or whatever those nuts trails are. flex that suspension

 

My stock rubber bushings crapped out pretty quickly too. So my factory LCAs were done. At least the TC control arms are rebuildable, and the uniball is much stronger than the stock ballpoint. You'd be surprised how much the stock LCAs move around because of the rubber bushings. Still hard to justify them tho.

 

Everything is rebuildable just have to be resourceful locating the bushings and ball joints

 

True! But it's a pain to pop out those rubber bushings. But I already spent over $12k on my SAS to get more flex, so I'm the wrong guy to talk to about justifying the cost of mods

 

Easy for me to spend other people's money... Spending mine is hard haha... But I shouldn't talk.. Im deep into mine already... Lost track few loose ones back

*still thinking*
"but bling bling tho"
*proceed to checkout*

lol, jk. seeing all that front suspension bling for you guys with front bumpers is nuts. I might go find OEM LCA's at a junkyard, hit um with some silver spray paint, and slap one TC sticker on. just wait

 

or I might be extra resourceful and paint the letters on. hopefully I don't spell "Total Choas"

 

shit i got some you can have....just got to pres out the old bushings lol

 

Ho fkn aktion bu @hacklerjason

 

Nothing changed much. I still own a 2wd. So I'm still around.

 

Nothing major

 

I used the stock bottle jack with a small 2x4 and matching socket to bush my LCA bushings out...didn't need to torch em or anything

 

Neil, isn't that the same tent you wanted to get a while ago?

 

you remember if it was an oddball socket size? I tried pressing my bushings out but my socket was little too small so the rubber just ripped instead.

 

maybe a 24-26mm? might have also used a washer, need to see if I have any pics from it

 

you put toyota bushings back in or something else? I got my old lowers sitting around as spares, gotta eventually rebuild them. The toyota bushings are pretty pricey.

 

All this talk about LCA and bushings, now I gotta check mine and see if they're worn and need to be replaced.
Ok wait, NVM. I'll just have someone look at it. I wouldn't know what to look for anyway.

 

no, I put these in with SPC cam bolts...so I had to take 2 of the sleeves to work and ream the hole up for the new bolts.

only gripes I have with the SPC bolts is the washers are punched out to fit over a bolt that is decked a little, so there is some slop between the bolt and washer, but probably not enough to do anything...I would have used a laser/waterjet to cut the washers out of a sheet for tighter fit.
