The Lair

My buddy came over and we threw on his new kicks! Such an upgrade.

 

I thought you were getting them in the middle of the month!

Looks great!

 

anyone want to go wheeling and fishing on the beach at assateague island on Friday?

 

@Lots2Learn58 guess whose truck you can get

I guess they worked out something sooner! He only rubs a little on the plastic. He's pretty stoked.

Sorry man,I have to work all week into the weekend.

 

Had a fairly productive day today. First I adjusted my parking brake. It's so much better now! Before I'd still roll with it fully engaged if it was steep enough.

Then I installed my new crush washer onto my steering pump high pressure line in hopes it fixed the slow leak. So far so good! I'll continue to monitor as needed.

Then I swapped my radiator bushings. It was very straight forward, with the hardest part getting enough room between the frame and the cab to get the new bushing in. A little persuasion with a hammer and all is good.

 

so I guess you installed them upside down like they said in the thread?

 

No, not upside down. When you get out the oem ones and hold them side by side, the top OEM and the thicker energy suspension are the same thickness.

Also the top OEM has this built in metal sleeve, the same as the thicker ES one. The top oem one just seems thinner because it's softer and squishes easier.

 

It's a universal set, not something made for our tacomas. Technically there is no right side up or upside down. You'll understand what I'm saying once you pull your OEM bushings out.

 

I get it. I just might follow the write up..

 

achievement is closer than we think..

@CaliDevilDoc please lift your forester

 

That second one is cleannnnnnnn!

 

Shiiiiit, I didn't recognize you at first!

 

I think the Lair is actually the only thread where I recognize members by their name and not their avatar...

 

So true!!!

 

Do you have a link to the bushings you got? Also how difficult is it to replace?

 

$28 Energy Suspension- 9.4101G UNIVERSAL MOUNT

The passenger side was easy, but the drivers side fought me (as well as @fatfurious2). If the front suspension install is a 5/10, I'd rate this a 4/10

 

hmmm, i wonder how long i could run this on my second battery
