Wyoming B.S. Thread

Well New LBJs didn't solve my problem. I guess that means my LCAs hole is over tapered possibly from them coming loose and getting slammed around.

gonna contact Solo and see what they say. All Pitman pullers don't fit so only way to remove it to beat on the LBJ. Don't love that..but was able to get it out.

My upper ball joints are also pretty much gone. So UCA time. I have a set of used SPC ones that need the old bushings cut out which I could use. Part of me though wants to get some Heimed uppers and solid mount the lowers..


Got the shock bolt out as well and new spherical bearings put in, man I need to get a vice..and a press.

 

You could still solid mount the lowers with the SPC and get your alignment. Is the main purpose of the heimed uppers to just eliminate a bushing? How dialed do you really need the upper bj position to be?

 

nah the point would be to just...never need an alignment really again.

Even with my stock uppers the position was fine due to the solo LCAs. But be nice to add caster with the upper mainly to recenter the wheel slightly.

 

Well it's not Taco related but I took my IS300 apart. The 2J timing set is super easy but fuck are all the timing marks for the VVTi part hard to follow. Plus I have to change every seal including the ones in the VVTi cam gear. Going slow. Looks neat tho





On the bright side I got to order a part for a supra today

 

I you all want a change of pace this evening, check out the live stream we are doing of a concert:

Aboot 9"

 

What were you expecting? You might get a wee bit more with the bumpstop squishing and a teeny bit more from everything being forced to it's absolute limit but without a CO you're seeing about what you get.

 

Possibly a little, standard length COs usually limit it a bit, I had to force the shit outta my arms to get my icons in, bit I could just slip in and out my Billies.

 

just pull the spacer from the shocks once you go to rebuild them. Which I'd imagine you're due for anyways.

 

8.5" is what I measured.

That's with stock uppers. The factory UBJ is the downtravel limiter after the shock.

 

You think. Even my blown icons were amazing compared to brand new OME or Billies but rebuilt icons, those were Zen

 

lol what happened to "preventative maintenance" haha

And its still stock geometry no matter what. Not gonna pull awesome numbers from that kind of stuff. Get LT. You're already doing 35s. Fuck it.

 

I bet you don't have a feel for when they work and don't yet

 

LT is always an option...it's the only option...just saying.

Bingo.

 

That's why you gotta get em revalved when you rebuild.

 

And everyone has only told you that it would every opportunity for at least 8 years. When you gonna start listening to us

 

Bushings don't change anything.

Your CVs are probably what's binding next with the SPCs.

There's only so much to work with.

 

Lol that's rhetorical right?

ooooooohhhhh yes! he is running Napa specials. That's probably it.

 

I'm always hopeful, it's a flaw of mine
