Anybody in the Ventura area have a spanner wrench/t-handle I can borrow to adjust my Kings on the truck?

 

FYI: Word is that a center punch kit from Harbor Freight has the right size you need for the King adjustment collar. It'd be a worthy investment.

 

I have the punch tool that came with the coilovers but the reservoir hose is blocking my ability to get the punch into hole on the collar. The driver side looks like I can get some adjustment, hit the passenger side is a no-go.

 

Eesh. It's kind of the same with Icon. They sell you the cool spanner wrench with the hook end, but it's useless if you have remote resi's. The straight side works just fine though. Also, the holes in the adjustment collar for Icon and King are different sizes. I forget which is bigger but I know if you use the smaller tool on the wrong collar it buggers up the adjustment holes making them oblong and you have to replace the whole thing. I believe Fox and King are the same size.

 

Well the straight punch that came with the kings has two different sized ends, one of which fits perfectly into the collar. But the hose fitting prevents me from getting any turn from the hole behind it(which is the one that I need), and the actual coil bucket on the truck prevents me from spinning with the tool inserted on the left side. I can turn the collar about an inch or so back and forth but that’s it so no adjustment. Just sitting at stock height with expensive kings wishing I could just eek out another inch or 2...

 

I have the standard one from king and the spanner from icon. I'll be driving south saturday morning if you want to meet me somewhere right off the 101.

 

For sure man, I’m down to meet up! I’m going to retry tonight with a strap wrench but if that doesn’t work, I’ll definitely meet you. I’ll let you know tomorrow! Thanks

I need to mess with mine one of these days just to see if I can. I have a spanner that looks like it might work but haven't tried it yet. I also have a precision machine shop and would love to come up with something to reduce the headache.

Looking forward to meeting more central coast taco owners!

 

Hey man, I managed to get them adjusted with a strap wrench and some other random tools, all without roughing it up to bad. Thanks for the offer. Have a good weekend!

We're fishing Minuteman Beach this morning and I am thinking about hitting Rock Front Ranch on Sunday morning for a quick loop.
Anyone else interested?

 

Good to hear!

 

Sunday afternoon, surf rod and an empty beach...

 

One of these days...
Spangler this weekend on 2 wheels if you want to join.

 

Nice, I am saving Spangler for a 2 wheel Thanksgiving trip.

 

Just moved to Vandenberg AFB and trying to find out if there's any off road stores around that are recommended?

Looking to trade a Bakflip MX4 Cover that's 4 months old for a bed rack preferably a Mid height Voodoo rack for a short bed.

ISO a prinsu roof rack for a 2019 Tacoma DCSB.

ISO a prinsu roof rack for a 2016 4Runner.

ISO 17" method 305 NV's in matte black and some 275/70/17 BFG KO2 tires for the 4runner (was planning on ordering through Tirerack unless someone local has a deal)

ISO SSO stage 2 front bumper for a 2016 4Runner (both the bumper and the side panels that attach)

Also if anyone can install 2 1/2" spacers on a 2019 Tacoma TRD/OR

I know I'm asking for a lot but closed mouths don't get fed. Thanks!

 

Welcome to VAFB. I work out here and live in Lompoc.

Maybe we'll see you out here sometime....
