Oregon and Washington BS thread

I wish i lived closer I'd go wheeling with you guys

 

Thanks to you I am, gonna pick up those MT/Rs after work tomorrow. Now I just need some Relentless sliders....

...and a winch
....and a winch mount
.....and dual ARB lockers
......and OBA
........and some 4.10 gears
.........and chop my body mount
..........and maybe some wheels with more B/S

Dammit, what did I get myself into.

 

Does anyone have/had toytec coilovers?

 

yes

 

Want to share you knowledge of raising them?

 

You mean adjusting them to a higher setting?

 

I wish. This is just a general "want to" list. Maybe some wheels by then, or sliders.

 

Whoaaaaa my truck is on the front page of this thread!

 

A lot of our trucks are.

 

Yes. I just bought a winch and I have noticed my front has started to droop. I didn't install them so I am not really sure how it goes.

Have you adjusted them while on the truck?

 

Yes. You need to clean the top collar with alcohol and make sure you get all the grit off of it. Then spray some penetrating oil on the top collar and let it soak into the adjustable ring. Wait at least an hour then use your small wrench to anchor down against the spindle and take the large wrench to adjust it up. Make sure you use either a breaker bar or pipe on the large wrench or you won't get enough force to move the coil and you WILL BREAK THE WRENCH. You have to remove your tire and jack up the truck to do this. The drivers side is much easier if you take off the sway bar first. About a 10th of an inch equals about .25 inch in lift.

 

Cool that's about what I had read.

Don't you adjust it from the bottom of the coilovers?

 

no you will break the wrench

 

I dont see holes to put the wrench in on the top.

 

use a pipe!

Both of my wrenches have holes for a breaker bar? I always just use a pipe though...

 

Sorry, I mean the only place to put the spanner wrenches is near the bottom of the coil over. Is there another place on the top?

 

No? There should be two collars. The smaller one on the bottom and the larger one on the bottom just below the spring.



The holes you can see just below the spring are where the larger wrench goes and about 2 inches below that is a smaller ring where the small wrench goes. Its hidden by my sway bar.

 

Ok yea. I misunderstood what you had said. For some reason I was thinking of another places with holes on the top of the spring.

Thanks for the help.

I will probably have to pay someone to do it {blah}.

Anyways I got a good deal on an Engo e10000, so its almost adventure time....almost.

 

It takes less then ten minutes in your driveway or a street corner or even a wallmart parking lot Save the coin!

 

Want to buy some 35" MT/Rs on 17x8 Konig Countsteer X wheels?
