If it's not going offroading I'd recommend Bilstein 6112 front/ 5160 rear & aftermarket uca. Not much need for fully adjustable/ rebuildable suspension on a street vehicle imo. And the 6112/5160 ride great especially the faster you go. I think they are a great middle ground between cheaper replacement and fully adjustable/ rebuildable stuff.

 

That’s a good point I’ve heard nothing but positives from owners of that set up!

 

I was going to say the same thing about a OME setup

 

I think the Bilstein aren't as harsh, plus the 6112s are huge. And remote resi's on the 5160s pull bitches.

 

I figured out the trailer tire issue. There was a corner on of the fenders that was slowly rubbing the tire until it popped it. I took off both fenders for now and work for a better solution in future trips. Got a new tire to replace the popped one and shortened all bolts in the area so it spins clean and nothing with hit. Hopefully it goes smoothly home

 

On one of my trailers back a while ago I made really quick, down and dirty fenders with a piece of galvanized, 6" 18ga wall track. Piece of track about 3 feet long, snip the legs about 10" off each end and bend about 30 degrees and drill a hole for a bolt. Easy fenders.

 

Glad you figured it out. Seemed odd that it would have randomly popped on you, hauling a load as light as that.

 

Yeah I wasn’t happy, but I knew I probably was guilty of the issue for not checking it well enough before we left. Won’t happen again that’s for sure

 

IDK, I've had 5100's before and they rode smooth but OME came out with the soft version. My OME have been rock solid for years as I blew a couple of the billys

 

Use some of that time to come visit Nashville!

 

I really need to buddy

 

At Toyota getting an oil change and inspection sticker. First thing guy says is what radio is that! Lol burst his bubble with how cheap my Android unit was compared to his Alpine Halo.

 

I have an alpine cause that’s what local guy likes who installed. Never again. It’s not Horrible but very user unfriendly. Also don’t get as much for your money as you do from lots of others

 

I had the 5100s too. The 6112s are much better and closer to the valviing found in icon (digressive). I've had mine on for around 80k miles problem free.

 

The mark up on a regular Supra here is 15k!!! Though I will admit I am in love with the curves.

 

Who was that?

 

A shop in Pittsfield ma

 

I saw one out front of westboro Toyota last week but didn't stop. I'm sure it's marked up though. Having something no one else has is cool, but paying > MSRP is idiotic.

 

If anyone is looking for anything SOS there is a 15% off sale going on. Don't forget to mention I sent you to Eddy!

 

Well, two inches of rain starting tonight and we were going to leave tomorrow morning or this afternoon anyways. Do a quick boat this morning then pick and clean up here and get back on the road. Trailer I hope has been tightened and adjusted, but have the extra wheels Incase of emergency.

@LivinLoud boat was a big hit again, probably the wife’s favorite thing to do up here now, she loves watching the dogs have fun. I know it was a crapper for you, but it’s been perfect for what we want!!
