    Huh... He said he broke all his shit using 18 in coils. Did you skip a paragraph or 2 before commenting.

    yes but before he said he is switching to 16s. Which is standard on a 8'' shock for Long travel which he has.

    An 18'' coil will work fine but needs to be a much lower rate as it's so long it gets preloaded about an inch and a half even with the collars all the way up.


    So....no I did not skip a paragraph. I actually know what Im talking about....some times.

    I’m trying to remove the glass out of the driver door. Anyone know how to do this? Am I going to have to remove all this rubber seal?

    Automatic. Yes, I guess the run channel. If I’m going to have to do that I’ll wait until I have a whole day. I don’t have the time to mess with getting it out and in again. Sounds like a pain in the ass.

    I could only find videos on 2nd gen window removal. And those just slip right out without having to mess with the seals.

    Too many trucks and mods to list.. check builds
    Typically yes you have to remove the run. Sometimes the window track inside the door too (2 bolts) then it’s sliding the window out typically at a slight angle.
    I haven’t done one on a taco. But plenty of older camrys and such and that’s how I get them out

    had the skull right under there in the crush zone, begging the jack not to give way, squirming underneath for my wretched life
    thankfully i did not use my wrist as leverage to hobble up like last time, that really hurt and left me with bum wrist for a spell
