I would make them replace the headliner....just sayin...

 

Phil is the merchants just past the garden center? My new, hopefully correct springs will be in fri. Guess I will get them swapped there. How much did they charge you.

 

Lol... I wasn't happy.

 

OHH, I still need a front bumper

 

At the first team Honda stealer ship getting the wife's car serviced before our trip to Florida. Changing the plugs on her hybrid are 27 bucks each. . . And there are 8 of them PUUKEE!

 

Im not going to be off roading a ton. I still want to make sure it is fully capable for off roading but this is still my primary vehicle day to day. OME complete lift kit looked good on toytec, and so did the bilstein 5100 system, is there a huge difference between the two?
As far as price goes im willing to spend the extra money to do it right the first time around. And yeah, id love to install everything at a mod day! that way i could actually learn about it myself too!
the dealership tried to rip me off on some general grabbers and a 3" rough country lift for 3k so im not going back there for advice any time soon.
thanks for all the help, i really appreciate it, looking forward to start making some mods

 

Some differences are the billies kit is adjustable up front from 0- to 2.5 with four settings, comes with an add a leaf instead of a new leaf pack.

OME comes with Dakar leaf pack. Is not adjustable but you can get different springs up front depending if you plan on putting a heavy bumper up front later on this is a good idea. And the OME gives you about 2" of lift.

Honestly I've got billies up front on stock springs set at 2.5 and the ride is shit! Very harsh. Looking to upgrade myself. If you go with billies id recommend not using stock springs or if you use stock springs dont go over the 1.75 setting. I along with others have also had problems with rear billies leaking oil after a few thousand miles. I've replaced 2 sets under warranty and ended up putting icons in the rear.

No matter what you buy I'd recommend buying from Downsouth motorsports as they have great pricing and customer service.

 

Also with tires, a lot of guys on here are using treadwright retread tires. They are half the price of new, come with a warranty, and have great reviews. So if your looking at a more aggressive tire look at the tread wright Warden (same tread as bfg All terrain) or the guard dogs.

The next person that is ordering a set of 4 wardens in 285/75R16, let me know. I only need 1. Would love to piggy back off someone's order.

 

Not ordering that size but will be ordering a set in the next couple weeks after I get back from Disney around the 1st of Nov.

Today marks the second anniversary of my folks passing in a car crash. Instead of the annual hike of old rag mtn (the park is closed) I'm sitting in a parking garage, in my city vehicle, with a dead battery.
So, I'm grumpy, armed and rapidly approaching pissed off....
