2wd BS and SoCal meet ups and Tacoma fun

You'll be dialed. It's an easy job.

 

You guys pull the whole sway bar out can out be rotated out of the way after its loose?

 

Won't need to rotate it out of the way. Disconnecting it will allow your lca to drop further down and make it easier to slide the coilovers in and out.

 

Just saw where your located. Im booked all saterday but If you need anything let me know I don't mind driving your way.

 

Very kind offer. I'm not shy so if I run into trouble I'll be reaching out. Thanks!

 

Well that wasnt too bad. 1 1/2hr total. Didn't need to remove the rear tires and didn't even disconnect the Swaybar endlink on the second side up front. Being a Prerunner has its advantages I guess. Thanks for the advice, the penatrating oil did the trick and everything came apart with no issues. Diffentently need the aal in the rear now. I'm thinking about the Icon 3leaf, any thoughts?

 

Also check out deaver and all pro. Really all depends on how much weight you are carrying on a constant basis.

 

I'll be unloaded most of the time. That does bring up another question. I'll be loading my 320lbs dual sport from time to time and with the short bed will have to leave the gate down. I've read that the gate is a weak point and even seen some pictures of them bending. how worried should i be?

 

Kinda worried.... I guess. Call Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road and order the right pack for your weight requirements or it will be a miserable ride. Only other option is air bags, firestone and day star I think are the 2 manufactures.

 

Nice! Glad it went smoothly.
Where's the pics?!

Coming up soon here I'll have a stock pack with the icon AAL and can report with a comparison to the all pro standards which is what I have now.

I wouldn't be too worried about it. I've hit a trail with my 240# dirt bike in the bed and accidentally hit a bump WAY to hard. Slammed the bump stops and the bike came down hard on the tailgate without a bend. You can always get a tailgate reinforcement though. I know the dual sport is a bit heavier, and certainly doesn't hurt having the extra strength.

On the stock leaf pack one bike is fine, two is pushing it, I had two passengers and three bikes in the bed once and that was riding the bumps the whole way haha.

 

Me and @JaCado knocked it out no problem

I'll be very interested to hear you thoughts on the me icon leafs.

 

Is anyone doing any trails to night or tomorrow morning

 

Where r u located? There's plenty of people camping very often. I don't do camping because work schedule.

 

Not me. Helping my parent towing a shed.

 

As of right now I'm still down. I'd have to bring the family but no big deal. I'm between Ocotillo, Joshua tree or Anza. For sure a day trip for me. Grilling, chilling, drinking, trucking, etc.Not sure about camping since low temps and having a 2year old.

 

@Rakso

I'm located in Riverside near UCR. Looking to meet up with cool people. LOVE your suspension job! I've camped out in Joshua Tree before, fun place.
