TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

Thanks, it really is a badass piece of gear, we use it all the time.

 

Frontrunner right? I've thought about getting one.

 

It is, won it in a raffle when they were like $200, but now they can be had for much less.

 

Thanks. Frontrunner makes great stuff. Just extremely pricey haha. Really liked the quality of my rack from them.

 

i really need to adjust my own alignment. this 1.8* caster is not the business on the highway.

 

Going to start knocking this out on Friday

 

the alignment tech said "its maxed out". Um its dead center you jackass. I think its a little tight with the alignment cams so he didnt want to strong arm it.

 

Are the LCA bushings derlin?

 

NM, looks like they are, that is the issue. Derlin doesn't deform at all, so trying to get it misaligned in the cam is hard, you have to crank on the cams super hard, and even then they might resist the eccentric.

 

What he said. That's why heims are great.

 

i figured it was the delrin, ill just have to really crank on them and maybe persuade with a dead blow just to pivot.

 

being able to drive without looking like im drunk or feeling like im going to ram into the car next to me would sure be nice.

i need to find a way to get me more caster out of this alignment.

 

A pry bar works well.

 

My UCA heims have been holding up great, I was hesitant as well. The other 15 or so heims and unis on my truck, not so well. Most of those are Ruff Stuff ones though, which I have concluded are garbage. Going with FKs next time when I deal with all the ones in my rear arms.

 

Ballistic is my personal fav for joints. Everyone has one. I'm running their giant ballistic joint for an upper ball joint, my lower will be their uniball within the year. Heims on the upper for sure, not sure I want Delrin on the lowers or not. My castor will be built into the lower arm

 

im just hoping i can coax it enough to get the caster i want

 

I'll look at ballistic as well, heard good things. If you can leave the LCA centered and solid mount it, derlin is the way to go imo.

 

That's what I'm thinking too. I really like Ballistic, the only problem is they never have stock of anything.

 

All my heims are ruff stuff and they are noisy as efff. I keep em lubed and they don't bind but somethimes I wish they were completely shot so I could put different joints on all my links.

 

You like lube?
