Anyone near Altoona ?

 

Harrisburg Area checking in here.

 

How the suspension lift?

 

Its great. I also got some skinny 33s.

Here is a pic with the lift and stock tires.


Here is a pic with lift and 255/85/R16s


After lift and tires, the truck sits about 3.5" higher in the front and 4" higher in the rear.

 

Man that looks good.

 

Thanks. You should see it in person.

 

Looks great!

 

Late warning, but better late than never! RT-15 overpass (bowmansdale exit) is a truck killer! This happened on Superbowl evening. No, no alcohol was involved.

Replacement truck delivery date is scheduled any day now at Freedom Toyota. (between 5/16-5/21)

I know where that is. About 5 minutes from my house. Though, not on my normal routes.

 

5 miles north of Altoona.

 

I'm in East Freedom. ..was looking for a club of sorts to exchange info on mods I could have used some wisdom in a few instances lol ...where is 5 miles north of Altoona maybe I know you...I work in Tipton so I'm all over the area

 

I know where this is. What happened though?

 

It was The night of the Super Bowl. It was super icy out and crossing the bridge heading north bound I was only going about 35 and had made it from Fredrick,md headed back to the east shore where we live. Was climbing the mild hill at that overpass and was barely on the gas to get the truck up the hill when the traction control sensed the rear wheels slipping and kicked on. Being designed like it is for our trucks, it applied brake on the slipping wheels and the back end broke free, slid to the drivers side, tagged the center guard rail. The front then spun around and connected to put the truck as it sits in the pictures.


TLDR: The bridge/overpass was icy and traction control screwed me.

 

Wow! sorry that happen bro, glad you're ok. I am down in East Berlin area and know where that is.

On another note let me know if anyone have done the ECGS bushing replacement on their 3rd gen. or know of any shop that has done it.

 

I have. Do u already have the bushing in hand?

 

Not yet, getting ready to place an order. Did you just replace the driver side?
I have 5100 all around with 3rd notch set in the front.

 

Yes just driver side.
@Arcticelf if you have the tools can u bring it with you sunday?

 

Ashville

 

Yup, will do.

@TycoDrone you'll need the bushing, and I recommend the CV gasket too. Ecgs lists it as optional, but I think it's mandatory. Also a quart of oil for the front diff.

I've got the bushing and gasket tools.

 

Whats going down on sunday?
