All this suspension talk is gonna have me looking for stock height progressive coils

 

Jus get a Tacoma again

 

Think what he means is, manufactured from

Look at the vin on a 4R and the vin on a Taco

Tacomas are from Fremont CA and 4Runners are from Japan

 

Noooo

I want a pick up but later

 

Oooh

 

Like pre 85?

 

Yep

There have been a lot of projects that come up, naturally they'll need some fixing but pretty much

 

this one is clean for the price. seller is nice too. was looking into picking up a buddy here but he decided to pass....just needs your choice in gears and lockers

I was looking at these. They’re a bit pricier than the 880s, but Dobinsons are supposed to ride comfier than OME.

 

Tell Mike what your truck has and what kind of ride you want and he'll tell you what to buy. The guy knows his dobinson's

 

4runner frames are different and iirc received better coating at theirthan the Tacoma ones which is why they weren't as known for the rust problems

 

had a "busy" day yesterday and now I'm probably just gonna be hiding under a blanket on the couch all day today. im burnt. being chronically ill sucks lmao

 

You always know I'm just a message away!

After groceries (and making something for Stephanie's classroom) I'll be staying in today

 

Tell you this, I didn't try Dobinsons until I got them for the 80 series

My 80 series rode so fucking smooth with Dobi's once I got them so yeah totally worth buying, and should say something considering how badly you described the 80 series' ride quality

 

Maybe I should order some for my truck

 

hugs

mostly just tired AF lol. slept through all of my alarms and A's alarms too lol. I'm gonna watch a bunch of movies and probably order Chinese

 

Chinese sounds good right now

 

WHY IS IT ALWAYS A SILVERADO

 

Made a smaller one for Stephanie's classroom, figure the kids would get a kick out of it



Plus I used it as an excuse to take pictures for creating an instruction manual

 

Yeah I learned this the hard way trying to put the Tacos 5100s on the 4runner. The lower eyelet on those shocks isn't a separate part that will rotate like it will on Kings and probably most other coilovers. Said F it and ordered a set for the 4runner specifically and they bolted right in

Like Freddy said just use the Tacoma outer tie rods and you can use the Tacoma LBJs.

The only other difference is the sway bar linkage, but who runs sway bars
