Oahu Members Thread

Thanks guys. This was my very first mod ever. Im happy with it

 

Hey guys...which one of you has the Modded "Tacoma World" sticker on his back window. I can't remember who has it, and I remember seeing it when we were at Sandy's a couple months ago. Looked like it was in Script and maybe had Oahu or Hawaii on it. Drawing a blank, but it was kick ass. Thanks guys

 

technically it supports up to 9 different mounting options, depending how the leafs light up, 3 settings for the shackle, and 3 settings for the frame mounts.

i'm all out currently, might have some more within the next 2 weeks.

 

Mike...I'm still waiting on the damn U-Bolts before I can do anything with the blocks you made me...lol Got my 3rd ICON shock a couple days ago (The correct one...) They keep F'ing the shipment and sending me the wrong one, but that's on their dime...not mine. Yeah...need all the parts. It's always a waiting game when modding...lol

 

I need some feedback here, Do any of you think $230 for shipping via USPS is the norm? I was thinking of getting the wheelers HD 5 leaf pack from Wheelers Off-Road. Guy quoted me that amount to ship to me.

 

What's the weight?

Edit: based on a approx weight calculation of 50lbs and approx dimensions 36 x 12 x 12, UPS ($225) and USPS ($239) are right around that price...

 

I don't know. The Dakars are 71 lbs each, so I would guess somewhere around there, give or take a few lbs.

 

That's what kept me from buying Dakars. Shipping.

 

Have you guys tried getting them through a local shop, and get them to order it on their freight? I'm sure one brings in leaf packs

Edit: besides 4wheelparts

 

For the Dakars, just makes sense to go to the shop that we all love to hate.. Shipping wasn't an arm and a leg to get..

 

^^^^^^


Can you say the name please...

 

The shop that shall not be named.

 

Iven told me about Aloha Air Cargo. Wheelers could ship them Ground (Cheap) to Cali and then Aloha Air Cargo takes over. Might be worth looking at...

 

Maybe I'll see if my cousin can buy them for me then have them shipped to me through his company, since they have a branch here.

 

That name shall be banned nor spoken from all forms of literature hence forth...

 

wonder which will come first, the correct shock or the u-bolts

I might want your 3* shim after the install, been noticing a vib at 45mph that I didn't have before.

exactly!

 

Got the correct shock... Waiting on the Bolts...

 

Ok, just checked the USPS site, 70 lbs is the weight limit, So I'm guessing the leaf pack weighs less then that. Also did the calculations, and it seems $230 for shipping would be the norm. I'm guessing it'll come in 2 boxes and to ship 1 box the size of the leaf pack would be somewhere around $115. Still debating on calling my cousin.

 

I don't think they weigh over 70lbs. 50 seemed more likely. It sucks to have to pay that for shipping, but we are hostages on a Rock..

 

Forgot about those... What springs are you using?
