Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Best mod I did to my taco when I had it. Took me down a rabbit hole of spending and spending lol

 

We had this Dodger fan in our section last night who kept yelling "THAT WAS HUGE!" whenever the Dodgers did something halfway decent. He got mocked so hard that he left early after Posey's HUGE tagout in the 8th and Bellinger's HUGE boner. Great game, and great weather for a game.

 

Taco got a new bang switch this evening

 

Oh. This is the target...

 

I don’t think King shocks make a remote reservoir front shock for 1st gens. Not off the shelf anyway

I believe it was this video that has a lot of good information. He address why remote reservoir is a good idea. This channel has a lot other good videos.

You are correct. King does not make (off the self) Resi for 1st gen. I've heard some claim that they, supposedly, have some kind of internal resi in them for (off the shelf) 1st Gen.

That's literally, the reason I ended up buying Fox.

Downsouth or Filthy (I think) used to offer King Resi they built for 1st Gen, but I don't think they do anymore.

 

I used to wonder the same thing... Then I bought coilovers (Fox in my case) and the answer is a resounding YES.

Better shock dampening, more adjustable, better travel, smoother ride (even with, in my case going from 620 pound springs on my shocks to 700 pound coils on my coilovers)

 

Dodgers fans are awful. I can't believe how they boo'ed Jansen during that last series. Garbage.

 

Ok. Makes sense. I don't think I'll splurge for now but maybe in the future. The OME has met or exceeded all expectations and TBH my LandCruiser gets most of the love these days.

 

Pics of cool land cruiser required

 

Totally makes sense. I ran with 5100s and ToyTec springs and the did the job. Nothing wrong with OME shocks/springs.

I wouldn't say coilovers are "neccesary" but I used to question if they were really "worth" it... I found the answer to be yes.

 

The one I'm referring to is the FJ62. My family owns 9 land cruisers. We're crazy. I'll be buying a 200 series next year.

 

Ok... so now I'm just

Sweet rigs man!

 

Thanks! I figured I'd post this pic too since it IS a Tacoma forum Just took this pic. Heading to SF in a half hour.

 

yea we are crazy LX fans. My family has been threw 6.. I have had 2 and my dad 4. One 100 series and the rest 200 series.
I traded my 07 taco for my 100 series. Haven’t looked back. Lol

 

Sweet! My dad drives an '07 LX470. That is one of the 9 LandCruisers I was referring to. Just broke 100k miles on it. It's still a baby. Bro just bought a 2016 LC in March. That car is incredible.

 

My dad has a 2019 currently
I have an 08 with ~125k.. it’s my wife DD. She will eventually get my dads 19 when he gets a new one. I will get 08 back. Dealer says I should be able to put an easy 400k on it. I am going for it. Lol

 

Toyota bad-ass-ary overload

 

I think you can special order them with resi's. I could be wrong. I coulda swore i saw somebody on TW with resi's

 

Downsouth or Filthy used to do them in house. Can't remember which one (or it may have been someone else, but someone did) But they weren't "off the shelf" (from King) 1st Gen. That's where you may have seen it.

Also, you may have seen someone with Long Travel.
