Victoria Meetup/Drive

Yeah, I usually end up at the dealer but im not so sure OEM brakes are the answer here. Im not to concerned with having aftermarket shoes as long as they are quiet. Id like something more HD up front though. Im wondering, when Toyota puts TSB springs in the truck do they account for the LSPV for the rear brakes? would it have enough effect for them to be working less? combined with the front end diving a bit I would think there is very little braking going on back there. Could explain why the brakes feel like they lack power, they do feel better with a load in the truck, hmmm.

 

Good luck with your brakes syncros. I still have yet to do mine since they are at half life but I'd be interested to know what you end up doing....

So any ideas where everyone wants to go? And saterday or Sunday?

 

I suggest you go to Nanaimo and if there are some trails there that would be great. That way us "Northern Island" people can make it too!

 

Sure I'd go up to nanaimo. I have only been up there for wheelin once to wheel though so.... Anyone else done much wheelin up that way?

 

Totally OT here, but if you do find a powerful option for your front brakes let me know. I find the brakes on my 2011 to be supremely sub marginal in the stopping/grip category.
Looking like I may not make it next week - especially if it's Nanaimo. Time constraints will limit the time I can get out. Boo.

 

Hey i might be interested depending on which type of terrain u guys pik(dont wanna fack up my truck!) ,more of a mall crawler i will admit but she is what she is and i take her out for casual 4x4 trips and i have my quad for if i wanna get craze,but ye im in,live in cowichan valley area

 

Its not bad. Atleast theres no burnt cars and tons of garbage like out shawnigan. Lots to explore.

 

I live in Qualicum and would love to do a Sunday Nanaimo area meet Don't know the offroad area though.

I'm good for Sunday. Now we just need a central meeting spot that's easy to find.
The mall?
Isn't there a lookout point right around Northfield road right on the highway?
