Which one was bad? Was it the front cat or rear?

 

Either way they were better than the dong fang excellent traction tire yes xtzs that that were on there LOL

 

I thought we where friends?

Thanks buddy

 

This is the third time in my life I’ve seen this much snow.

 

Morning

 

Sure wish I could get a tune for the 4Runner. Just to clean up some of the flat spots.

 

Currently replacing front strut and coils, went easier than I thought despite some seized bolts. I did notice the strut mounts are getting rusty. It's just surface rust at the moment but id like to nip it in the bud. Pretty sure I can handle it but to avoid missing something critical does anyone have a link to a decent strip/primer/paint method?

You mean the coil buckets? Because you have coilovers.

There are a number of members that have experienced failure with their coil buckets and it's not pretty.

@Speedytech7 was making his own IIRC

 

Question for the west coasters

Can you order a baked sweet potoato with brown sugar and cinnamon at restaurants out there?

 

I mean, probably

 

No

 

Yeah, the strut top hat mounting surface. I'm not sure what the technical name is but it's the part in this pic (this is just a pic i stole from google but mine is similar):



I took a wire brush to it and the rust is just starting but would like to treat it.

 

Pics?

NVM. you read my mind

 

You don't have struts.

If you are referring to the item I colored in red, those are your coilover buckets.

They are prone to cracking, and many members have had to weld in reinforcements.

 

I’ve always heard them called struts and coils

 

I only ask cause my dad told me that a waiter at a place up near @Speedytech7's neck of the woods looked at him sideways when he asked for one.

Yeah that's it. I'm not at that point yet, just want to get ahead of the issue.

Same. Coilover buckets makes sense tho. Buckets that go over the coils (and strut).

Probably what I was looking for. Does this really work or is it another version of the frame coating that'll end up trapping water and making it worse?

 

Yeah I know.

A strut would be an integral part of the steering/etc.

Because we have an upper control arm, a spindle, and lower control arm, the coilover assembly can be omitted and the front setup does not fall apart in on itself.

People just call it the wrong item the same way people will confuse other car parts.

'Cadillac' converter is a favorite one
