2014 Rock Therapy Attendance

oh, so they just kinda sit inside the coil and aren't bolted to each end. did not know that! cool!

 

As of today my schedule does not allow for me to make it to Moab, I was going to announce earlier last month that things weren't looking good but I still had some hope. That hope is now gone as I didn't even get my bday on the 31st off gotta make sacrifices to stay at this new station I'm working at now next year I'll have atleast long travel in the rear and a RTT tho!

 

Planning on being there as of now.......

 

Yep that's correct I guess one upside for the 4runner, I got these for the meantime to help with load carrying ability since I don't have the cash for new coils all around. They'll also bring me back to pre sag height

 

What are you running in the front??? And how much lift do you got?

 

Will be fun wheeling with you again!

You going to show everyone how awesome those tires on are slickrock?

 

Yea I haven't a lift just yet but I do have a '99 so I get about an inch higher than the rest of the 3rd gen runners. I bought the air bags because even though I don't get any real lift at least I can carry junk without sagging.

Last time I had four people in the front with the back full of junk the rack with some stuff and a dirt bike hanging off the hitch. I knew this was going to make almost any set up sag at least a little bit but on every drive way I was scrapping the dirt bike carrier. When I had this set up I went to superstition mountain and got there around 2 in the morning without lights. We were sort of lost and looking for the group while driving around 30-40mph, and sure enough we drove straight into a ditch about a foot wide. I was paying attention to the road but since I only had the stock lights I couldn't see too far up so when I finally saw the ditch I knew I wasn't going to be able to stop in time. I hit the thing with full force and my truck bounced hard knocking my UltraGauge and windshield phone mount off the glass. When I got out to inspect the carnage I was super surprised that my dirt bike carrier and hitch were 100% fine, the straps on the bike came loose a bit but that was all. There was also no damage to the truck and it still drove straight. I've got to say I love my 4Runner

 

shouldve put some fj springs in the back..... they fix the sagging

 

Well that works them you should be good. The sliders will save you ass most of the time lol

I can see why you got the airbags lol

Isn't that for a 4th gen??? The fix for the 3rd gens where to put the 99 tall springs in lol so he is kinda out of luck lol so airbags are a good choice lol

 

nope..... ive thrown stock fj springs in 3rd gen runners a few times brings it to about 1 inch of lift. which is sweet looking when its stock up front and a little weight in the back= perfect poormans rear lift kit lol


but in his instance^ would beat the hell out the airbags

 

Hmmm interesting. Then again I was stock for the whole of about 2 months so I didn't even research those kinda mods lol

 

Haven't looked too much into fj springs but I know that when I replace any of the shocks or coils I'm going to replace all but at the moment I don't have the funds for a lift so it'll have to wait. Aside I want to see what a stock 4Runner can do in moab with some modifications

 

Ghetto rock lights hooked up

 

I'm betting even the stock rugged fails would hook up just fine on the inappropriately named slickrock.

 

how ghetto lol






and im actually surprised there isnt more people signed up to attend. it looks like only 50?

 

Well they cost me $50 and the wiring is temporary. Very ghetto for my standards. My standards are high though. Some guys do it like this for a permanent install.

 

ive been buging MrTRD and he may make the last weekend. hopping his wife is on board with me getting him to go..

 

Konsta in trying to swing down a day earlier, so we would be there the morning of the 27th. We would drive through the night monday

 

That would be sweet ill buy you an energy drink if you do. Morgans new plan (due to her lazy as fuck co workers only covering a few days for her) is to be ther very late tuesday night and stay untill we leave.
