Florida B.S. Thread

After a fun afternoon at the range, all clean/oiled and ready to go again!

 

nice!!^^^^^^

 

Jim, I replied to your pm

 

Damn man, sorry to hear that. Hang in there, it's tough but things will get better!

 

Got it,, sent one this AM..

 

Its funny cause its true!

 

Just found a Facebook page : Florida 4x4 .... Seems like a pretty big group of Florida locals
Thought some of you avid offroaders might wanna check it out

 

1" blocks for $50

Good deal? Safe to run on stock shocks with TSB leaf pack? They're soo cheap.

 

blocks are bleeeh....shit

For a a little bit more you can get a toytec AAL.

 

They do make better rat traps than the tacoma. What did the owner say?

BTW, Jason, window is great. Thanks again. Oh and I got my truck back from the collision center on Friday. They did a job on the fix up BUUUUT ... I found three issues I had to return for the next day. 1. The alignment on the new headlight was WAY off. It was pointed at the curb. 2. The parking light on the far outside of the headlight got crushed. They never replaced the socket. 3. They had to replace the passenger side fender. When they did, they somehow screwed up the antenna connection and now I can't get a clear reception on my radio. Static city. The first two they fixed but they can't figure out the antenna issue. Have to go back this week and get it fixed.

 

for a little more, you can get a 1.5'' leaf spring for a better ride. downside is that 1.5'' is the least lift they come in. so if it's an inch you're after, those blocks are the way to go. they're plenty safe, they'll just wear out your springs a little faster. or a lot faster if you tow or wheel a lot.

 

on ebay they're $50 shipped new, comes in all different heights,

i added the toytec add a leaf, got about 2.5 inches initially (haven't checked to see if it settled) but now i have constant vibration under 5 mph accel and decel, just an fyi

 

3 degree shims.

 

thanks colin, i'm gonna try the carrier bearing drop first

 

That's a good one. Since mice are our issue here it is usually harder to clean since they like to get squeezed through the wheel fins.

 

if you haven't bought the CB drop yet, I have one sitting in my garage. i'll bring it to citrus for you if you want.

i doubt it'll do anything though. spacers like that work best with a double cardain drive shaft. for a single joint shaft like ours, you want to change the pinion angle without thanging the angle at the carrier bearing.

 

cool thanks colin, how thick is it? I was planning on just getting washers from home depot

 

i'll check/take a picture for you.

 

First post from Tapatalk. So far I like it. Much easier to use than the TW mobile skin.
