Unattended car

 

Dog alerted PD to unattended car. Saw a whole fleet of buses going air side to evacuate people.

Was working next to a city inspector and was hearing the events slowly spiral out of control.

 

When in doubt, fly delta

 

Damn, yeah it was definitely less than a dozen that I saw and most not in range. Sucked. Hoping the late season does better. This spot of mine I usually can pull a minimum of 8-10, but more often than not I limit

 

Toyota discontinued blazing blue pearl... what the actual fuck.

I'm sorry but cavalry blue just reminds me of that Crosstrek color.

 

Well I checked with my bank account. 37's and beadlocks are not allowed at this time. $250 for a new tire it is and I'll patch this one so my spare is matching.

Edit: Unless someone has $2k and wants to sponsor me

 

Well shit, didn’t know rear lift could throw off alignment

 

Going to call sdhq to see if they have any of those TC gussets in stock to get them installed and then alignment

 

How much does the rear axle have to move in order to push alignment this far off? Something doesn't seem right here.

 

Probably not much. Maybe 1/2"-1" is all you would need for the wheel to be off

 

Hmmmm, interesting.

 

Went from 1.5 aal to Dakar’s 2.75 lift

 

Just going off my own experience from stock leaves to Icon RXT's w/ all leaves in (~2.5" lift) and it didn't mess with my alignment that much.... either lol

 

Well I’m assuming my alignment tabs aren’t helping

 

Fair enough

 

So what's the general consensus with front coilovers - all things being equal (14" spring, same front weight configuration) is it better to run a 700lb spring with no preload or a 650lb spring with preload to achieve the same amount of lift?

 

But is the axle centered? U bolts straight? Even with a center pin, you can get the axle to be mounted off center which would throw the alignment off. Measure from your tire to the frame on both sides and see if they are equal. If not, the axle isn't centered and/ or something isn't right.

 

Shouldn't need 700lb springs unless you are extremely heavy or LT. I'd stay 650lb

 

After 13 years of project accounting I am now going into project management. I'm looking forward to having a life again.

 

Define extremely heavy?

Would 1/4" steel skids + 3/16" throughout steel bumper + in the future a winch (synthetic line) count as extremely heavy?
