Kansas City Tacoma Crew - 816/913

Debt free is the way to be! 14 payments left on my house, so I'm shopping for a different one...

I jumped curbs through a few parking lots on one occasion because people don't know how to drive in snow.

Well... shit

Or is it now a shit well?

 

Well, Shit. Shit well's welling shit.

 

Hopefully they just pump it out, and we can rebury it and not have to fuck with the drains for a while. It's getting quite old.

 

I'm proud to know that I contributed at least a little bit to this problem

 

I’ve paid family back what I owed them for some things and money for medical that leaves me enough for wheels and tires about it then I sold my old suspension so I used that to buy suspension in no way could I have been debt free from selling the tacoma when I had to pay something back man… also I’ll do as I want… I’ve always modified things pretty early on it’s what I like to do

 

Oh nice lol

 

Paying back personal debt should always be the first priority. Last thing you want is bad blood

 

Yup dealt with that and medical stuff and had some left over so i decided to get wheels and tires and tint but someone hit me up on my coilovers so I was like yo this is great I can order my suspension

 

What suspension are you getting for the Ranger? And you're bringing it to Flat Nasty in the middle of October to join the STL party crowd right?

 

I decided to go with the eibach 2.0 kit. The price is good and lots of people like it on the forum and a buddy of mine that knows suspension well actually knew about it and told me the valve work they did on them is far better then the fox 2.0. And no lol this truck is being setup for light offroad and camping and work at family’s property not really looking into wheeling anymore tbh unless I find a cheap shitbox to destroy… it was fun but I got tired of driving hours to go to a place and spending all day going 5mph over and over all day… I’d rather head out to well anywhere and explore now days

 

They'll rust sooner and aren't rebuildable but are valved better for on-road.

 

That’s not what I’ve heard at all… lots use it offroad on the ranger side and have lots of miles on them with no issues…

 

Eibachs are solid though, esp for the money.

Idk about "better" than Fox 2.0 lol.

Flat Nasty isn't all rock crawling. Plenty to explore and have fun without breaking rigs

 

The reason why most say they are better is the fox 2.0 is it’s the same as it was years ago nothing has really been updated on them from what I’ve read and talked to others about plus they still have the issue with the rear 2.0s breaking but again I’ve never owned a 2.0 so I can’t say yes it’s far better I’m just going off what I have read and been told by others who ran them

 

I agree for the price and what I want to do now days they will do me just fine as much as I wanted to and I had it in my cart…. I wanted ext travel again buuuut had to tell my self no because well idk I just talked my self out of it lol


And I gotcha I just have no excitement for offroad parks anymore tbh… did it a lot out here and just lost interest in it

 

I'm telling you based on facts. It's a digressive valved shock. It's achieved through a shim stack.
"A digressive valving approach, either through the piston itself, or the shim stack, usually results in tighter handling and performance in the easy stuff, or onroad. A digressively valved shock will typically respond firmer at the beginning stages of shock travel and loosen up in the more aggressive terrain."

Seems it depends on which series of Fox you were comparing to when it comes to corrosion resistance. I'm also only finding Eibach's Pro-Race series material lists and not their regular stuff.
However if you want to compare them to Fox's Factory Race series shocks, Fox has the best corrosion resistance on the market.

Also, Fox's are still rebuildable.

Also some sauce if yall want it:

Wasn’t ever comparing them to the rust issue man… I’m just stating from the research I have done and what I want to do they will do me just fine and handle fine offroad for simple stuff which is what I’m planning on doing… I do not care to wheel this thing like I did my tacoma not in the slightest… and it was just the fox 2.0 kit that’s it so nothing special like the 2.5s

 

My man beat me to it. The stuff they have in that site is so freaking good.

When I have money (lol) I want to have accutune set me up some progressive remote reservoirs for the puddle jumper. Make it soft so I can move but stiffen up as I roll on obstacle so I don't tip over.

Also .... @AccuTune Offroad have some of the absolute best customer service on the planet.

 

Ya they really do tbh I had planned on sending the fox coils to them and have them tuned eventually but we know how that went lol
