fine. shocks, not suspension.

 

X-REAS ties the driver side front shock to the passenger rear shock, then passenger side front shock the driver side rear shock. Theres a damper between each pair of shock. The 2 systems are not inter-connected. That's how its done on the 3rd gen 4Runner's im pretty sure. I had 4 of them and wondered how to remove them, but never ended doing so.

 

You are correct it ties them together in an x pattern (x- relative absorber system) you can remove the system by replacing the shocks. It is not a computer controlled system.

 

And removing the hard lines off the chassis. its kind of a bitch to remove it without hacking it off.

KDSS uses it by using shock absorbers to interlink the suspension arms or something.

 

Technically you wouldn't have to remove the lines. I would personally more for aesthetics but you would not have to. The kdss system is part of the sway bar. The sway bar is fixed one end and uses a hydraulic ram on the other to control the the sway bar which Will allow the suspension to cycle independently much like a disconnected sway bar.

 

My truck has excellent athletic features

 

Lucky. Mine is wide and long and needs to take more runs through the desert....

 

Yeah I spent 3hrs waiting for a free oil change in that shitty waiting room, and they quoted me $250 to reprogram my TPS modules and discount did it for free... I had to wait like 20 minutes for this old dude to look it up.. he didn't want to deal with me so I think he just threw out a number. I drive to Camelback now

 

mine is also wide, a little bit shorter but spends its days locked in the garage waiting for a new steering rack that i may or may not ever change

 

Yeah mine spends most of its days driving me to the supermarket to get groceries. Been enjoying the land cruiser more lately.

 

Yeah had the same kinda scenario at Precision in Tucson. Also found out today the little sticker on windshield says I need an oil change in 7k miles instead of the usual 5k like the last 5 times ive gotten my oil changed there. The date of the next oil change says "132208" which makes no sense. Typically when they change my oil, they top off all the other fluids as well. Popped the hood today and found that my washer fluid is barely half full, coolant is a inch under what it should read cold, and I think my brake fluid was a little low too. I plan on calling tomorrow and complaining about my experience there and everything I found out since I left.

 

i have spent all day trying to catch up on this thread... finally gave up and hit last page.

Holy shit it's spot on.

 

Anybody ever gotten a dog's tooth pulled? Kinda trying to get a ball park price range. Pretty sure my German shepherd has an infected tooth. jaw swelling, not eating, not drinking, droopy eye, eye discharge, and discomfort.

Just had to swallow the jagged price pill of registering the truck and came home to this new financial hurdle. Good thing the holidays aren't weeks away....

 

Hey anyone know where I can get a rtt on the cheap

 

My Yorkie had 28 teeth pulled and something like 15 were missing already. Previous owner didn't take him to get teeth cleaned ever. He has 7 teeth left. His sister has 12 teeth. Both dogs were a total of $1200 for the work because of how bad and how many they had to pull.

Anyways expect around 200- 300 give or take for a tooth extraction. Depends on the vet of course and of they find more shit when they are in there.
