209 TACOS - B/S and shenanigans

I don't know why... but I hadn't rven thought of them.

 

Have you tried just tightening the fitting from the hose on the resi?

 

$$$$

I only go there for super random stuff. I’ll usually hit up Napa and all the hardware stores first. Good luck!

 

They are $11 a piece I'd need 8 because they are only 1/2 inch and online only.

 

Help!

Anyone know how to repair fiberglass? I was at Doctors Modesto and their height bumper bar reads 6’ 10” but it’s actually set at 7’6”, and I whacked the top of my RTT. I just need to patch it and then I’ll Rhino line it. I’m dealing with the hospital to try to get them to pay for it as I went in slowly and the bumper bar didn’t hit. It was way in the back of the garage after I felt comfortable. I’ve never gone in with my tent on but was in a rush for a trauma.

Once I made a complaint they closed the entrance after the security team doing the report verified the bumper bar was 8” too high for the marked height of 6’ 10”


Ouch

 

Bummer!

Hope everything else is ok hospital wise.

 

I've got some 10” x 2.5” ADS piggybacks I'm planned on throwing on the 4Runner. Came off a 4th gen 4Runner. Collapsed is 16.5", extended is 26.5"

If you want to run one or both for the time being, let me know. I can't guarantee their valving will be great for you but they'll be better than nothing.

 

DUDE>>>>>>> That could work! Are the heims 1/2 inch? It would just be till I get the one shock rebuilt (actually 1 reservoir rebuilt)

 

damn that sucks
that's a bad day at work

 

@MattJakobs ... also... are they heim at the top and bottom? I know 3rd gen have the bushing sandwich at the top of the shock.

 

Dude... that f'n sucks. Seems like something that would happen to me.

Any good auto body shop should be able to do that. Maybe even a side job type deal?

 

Ah fuck, wait. The top is not an eyelet mount. Guessing you'd need a shock adapter. I think Daystar makes one.

Give me a few and I'll get some pictures and measurements for you.

 

Do you ever make it up towards BAMF in benicia?

 

I'm going to try Napa tonight. See if they have some 1/2 ID 3/4 OD bushings. That would allow me to run my old shocks for now.

Couldn't make it yesterday because of traffic on 99.

 

Not really but I can, whatcha need?

If not, let me know. I'll still get some measurements for you if you decide to run the adapter up top. Can't believe I spaced on that

 

I'm getting a couple plates from @JLee to make my sliders bolt on and if you were going to be meeting up with @Uphillshunter I was hoping you could pass them off to him

 

If he ends up needing these shocks, I'll let you know.

If not, I can get them to at least Livermore if you want to save on shipping

 

that would be awesome, I could run up there one evening even, It would save me from running up before work

 

Remember... My work buddy Hector can pick up from Matt, if needed.

 

Ages ago I remember my brother taking a surf board to one of the local boat places for a fin that got broken by an airline. I think it may have been Bob's Marine in Modesto, but it was so long ago that I don't remember many details. Anyway that night be a good place to start looking.
