Nice, I got 2 years ago, the first one came in with the box destroyed and they didn’t want it shipped back. The replacement was worse but set it up and had no problems. It’s been in my garage since.stock pic ,, mine has no grey border. All white

 

ya just need the spring clip for a 2012 head light if u have one i will pay for it plus shipping just let me know

Would anyone possibly be interested in SOS plate bumpers, front and rear?

 

@HAVOC

 

Does the rear use factory hitch?

 

Nope has a hidden hitch behind the plate. Rear is a high clearance with swing out and rub rails

 

Specify, the ones on my truck. Full front hoops, high clearance rear with swing out, cut outs, and rub rails.

These were made by Eddy before he sold the company and it all went to shit

 

No thanks. Not looking for bumpers at this time.

 

We are looking to plan out the next fab day in Concord NH. If anyone needs anything burned in or just wants to hang out these are the dates I can do at the moment.

7/22, 7/23, 8/5, 8/6 past that it will have to be after mr @GarlicFarts NMW trip.

Figured this would be the best place to ask, anyone have stock leaf springs and possibly stock from coilovers they want to get ride of?

 

I have some 2nd gen leafs from my truck you can have if you want those. Taking up space in the garage at this point. Took them off at 110k

 

Same, mine come with an aal…might have the stock fronts but they be shitty

 

Whats the consensus on desired alignment figures on a mildly lifted truck (2-3 inch- specially ome bp-51 with spc uppers).

Going in for tires and an alignment Thursday. When I was there picking their brain on if they could adjust the spcs to get it where it needs to be, they said their alignment guy is a toyota guy- has a 4 runner, and knows spcs well.

My thoughts based on looking around the forum- max out caster on lowers to push the wheel as far forward in the wheel well (stuffing 285/75r16s in there), then adjust the uppers to get numbers where they need to be.

Should I generally be aiming for 0 camber; 2-3 for caster, and 0 toe?

 

4 caster at least, should be able to hit that easy

 

Concord, NH eh? Might be able to make that since I'm in the next town over. Don't need to do any work just chill probably.

 

@tacobell007 , or anyone that has replaced x-axis bushings in spc uppers, any tricks? Were you able to press them out?

i pretty much killed my ball joint press.

i tried the following directions method but drilling out would cost a hundred drill bits. I resorted to burning them out then carefully cutting the outer sleeve.

i did check the spc thread here and only read of people having good luck with it.

only have one sleeve left to do now but curious if it was supposed to suck that bad.
