Ontario BS Thread

not PL premo?

 

Trust me good sir, the bed is a POS.

Jeremiah and I did the solution, loose as a goose again. Can lift 1 side with your hands and jiggle it. We have to replace the plastic spacers again, it has been only about a year since we did it.

The bed is soooo poorly designed. As soon as you use it, it starts to fail.

 

maybe Toyota will have a bed recall?

 

I wonder if i could ask them for a Factory made flatbed off a hilux?

maybe see if i can get away from the Ontario laws in some way?

 

factory flat bed

 

Got to build the Aussie dream vehicle
Maybe with the Tacoma and Hilux sharing the same platform in the next generation - we could actually just order one over seas and just bolt it on as a factory item

 

Why can't some company start to build this hear in Canada

my personal favourite. but don't need bed just bolt it on to frame

 

to those that got the tune from David on Saturday. how's the truck after the first couple of days?

after seeing 5-6 people getting it, it's starting to gnaw at me...

 

Does anyone have a recommendation for a source for Eibach parts?

Possibly these items specifically.

 

UCAs other than SPC/Mevotech? Blasphemy.

 

There's justification for the sake of an experiment. Recently swayed to the Eibachs for limited lifetime warranty and rubber bushings ;P . Can also adjust height on the truck. I've have over 100k (bought used with 45k on them) on a set of pro's back in the day on my mazda3. They rode great and definitely held up well to the abuse they saw in my younger days pretending it was a rally car.

 

Creditstone @pete37 , PartsEngine, Motorwise, PartsAvatar...

Those are SPCs rebranded in Eibach boxes. Note the 5.25470K part number. This means @somebody will probably get better pricing with Mevotechs.

 

Eyyy nice!
I generally ignore part numbers thinking its usually an archaic nightmare that each company makes up in their mind
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Believe it or not, there is a whole department of people working full-time making up part numbers at my company. The department is aptly called "Nomenclature".

I'm sure Toyota is worse though. Think about all the Tacoma model codes, GRDKLA, UU4ENA, etc.

 

those look like the older style SPC arms

 

Probably an older stock photo in Eibach's listing but who knows? No reason to get them when Mevotechs are less expensive. I remember you posted Mevotech switched over to the newer forged design, right?

 

thats right

 

Anyone interested in joining me and a friend doing Minden Scotch line Saturday Nov 13th. First trip to Scotch Line so the plan is to keep it tame, let me know if interested.
