What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

That is strange, the is300 should have a much longer stud to account for the thicker disc rotor center piece

 

They gave me a quote for $300 for both, we’ll see what it cones to when it’s all said and done

 

What does that cover?

 

That’s what I had been reading but at both stores they gave me the same stud I already had for my truck

 

Not sure why you need longer ones, I'm assuming due to aftermarket wheels, but can you get away with running extended shank lug nuts? Not all wheels fit them but some do. I'm running them with my wheels.

 

That's pretty cheap, did they replace seals too?

 

Everything. All the seals, the valves, whatever is in the Icon rebuilt kit. They even chased the threads that were busted on one of the cylinder bodies.

 

Did you supply the rebuild kit or did they? How much was the kit from Icon? I need to get my DRs rebuilt one.of these days.

 

So did you read the post at all

 

I’m trying to run a quarter inch spacer to get my tires to not rub the frame. After the spacer and rim there’s just not enough thread to be safe with

 

Apparently I didn't. No wonder the price was that low since he supplied the kit.

 

It came with the coilovers from the PO, he never ended up rebuilding them. They are $40 each from Icon if I recall correctly.

Even with that cost it’s only $246.

 

Yeah I've heard $250-$300 is about the going rate for shops.

I'm thinking about having Anthony250 do mine if he has time. Originally I was thinking about using DC Shock Services but Anthony250 is closer to me than DC.

It wasn’t itemized, just sent them a pic and they ball parked it. They look pretty beat, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they need some extra luv

 

I talked to Anthony first, I was going to use him but the shipping cost was too much. He recommended some local shops to me instead.

 

Are you gonna redo the coils?


I guess all the rusty things.

Maybe that included, I dunno

 

I picked up the same spacers for the same reason and ran into the same problem lol. Need longer studs for the lugs

 

Yup shipping kills it. I personally wouldn't ship them anywhere to get rebuilt unless I had no choice. But luckily I have plenty of options. Heck I could even drive down to Icon if I wanted to but I hear they don't do rebuulds in house anymore anyways.

 

Any luck finding a solution?

 

We’ll see, need to get them really cleand up to see what we’re working with
