Ontario BS Thread

Sweet.

thanks guys.

two mediums sold

 

We can do more shirts...just let me know.
I can throw another post up to collect the data.

 

Zuckerberg?

 

Yep

 

BUMP!
as in bump stops.

What does everyone have for the fronts? at this point, anything is better than OEM.

I see some threads pointing to

$44 Energy Suspension 8.9101G Energy Suspension 89101G Bump Stop

Energy Suspension 8.9101G (Which ES points out it's for the 05-13 Tacoma) and Energy Suspension -

$37 8.9104G REAR BUMP STOPS

8.9104G (For 96-09 4runner rear bumps)
everything else is too expensive. like hell spending $400 on timbren's junk (I'll take the 3D printed ones from Perry parts for $90USD)


we all collectively know the GM Bumpstops rule the rear

^ 8.9104G has been working well in my 5th gen 4Runner in the front. Stock 5th gen 4Runner weighs as much as a modded 3rd gen Tacoma.

Use the Canuckistan link:

Probably same camp as timberens for price but have been happy with sumo bumps. Bought them when stock as a band aid and worked well. With the lift they are progressive and seamless. The only downside i could say is because their girth, they need to be removed to get a cv axle out.

 

Does anyone one have ecgs needle bearing removal tool I can buy or borrow? And maybe a bushing they want to sell ? Thanks.

 

I've got Duro Bumps front and rear. https://durobumps.com/product-category/toyota/tacoma/3rd-gen-tacoma/

 

I have a bushing I could sell you, but I'm in London.

 

Is it 8” and what brand ECGS ? Thanks

 

Is it me or are the 8.9104 the same as the 9.9135?

Zooming into the images (as energy suspension refuses to show actual specs to me on mobile) both sets have markings engraved 6079. Guess they are the same thing but get whatever is cheaper? The 8.9104 also has bolts, but do we know if the threads are the same as the oem bumps?

 

i'm gonna be the guinea pig and try to install 8.9104 this weekend

 

Yes the 8.9104 bolt threads are the same as OEM bumps. I'm running them. There are like 3-4 Amazon reviews with pictures showing them installed on Tacomas and 4Runners. Metric allen bolts would otherwise be an additional expense.

Just be sure to lather the bolts in cosmoline. The black oxide finish otherwise wouldn't last one winter.

 

Looks like the best place for this one

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1996-toyota-mega-cruiser-3/

Very rare
Only 133 civilian-issue Mega Cruisers are believed to have been built, and fewer than 20 are left-hand drive.


Anyone got $142,000 lying around. Wish I did

 

Bring a trailer has been a joke in recent years. Everything that goes up there gets inflated

But man, isn't that mega cruiser a cool post... maybe if we sell like 4 tacos... we could get it, sell a 5th to build it and it would have more room that all the sacrificed trucks combined ʱªʱªʱª(ᕑᗢᓫ∗)

Question is: Will it Rub

 

Stock 17" with 37" rubber. Im sure with a 2inch lift, we can fit 44s

 

i have a tool you can use. its been a while since i saw it and can vaguely recall some drama using it last time around. let me know if you need it and i will dig it up and make sure it works.
