Colorado B.S. Thread

"tailight warranty" gotta love that
Yeah I have read through some of the donor leaf thread.. You and Brett did get some great results..and I suppose it is all about finding a good donor pack..hmm something to consider..

 

affective lyrics are ya singing to the leaf springs Eric???!!lol

 

Yeap. I am thinking poetry doesn't work.

 

Im thinking you are absolutley right

 

damn the taco scene in colorado is way bigger then the t4r scene!

 

Silly auto correct

 

Brett?

 

You must not have read the whole post.

Just typical Eric trying to make up for all his shortcomings by making fun of me.


Anyways, extremely pleased with how my leaf pack turned out. And my old setup was Alcan...

 

so Brett were your Alcans the custom made or the ones off the shelf??? I just know first hand these toyota leaf springs suck and there is only so much a AAL can do and only so long it will last...

 

Brett they were Deaver right? While they were made at Alcan they were made to the specs that Deaver requested. They were NOT designed to handle much weight but flexed like mad and provide some lift. Hence the short life and quick to sag.

 

So off a shelf.... Thanks Eric

 

Yeah, I was only talking shit to


My old setup were made my Alcan, but sold by Wheeler's Offroad, colloquially knows as the Wheelers 5 packs. They were not custom packs. They were advertised as 1.5" lift packs, I later adder the optional 1.5" AAL, and eventually the 2" lift shackles. Add it up. 5" of lift, I had about half that. I have no idea how Wheeler's has these made by Alcan, so presumably it's designed around an empty bed. I am very much aware that it is unfair to compare custom Alcan packs to my off-the-shelf version. They did flex nicely though.

With that being said, for as many people that are happy with their custom Alcans, I've also read plenty that have had bad experiences.

Regardless, I'm very, very pleased with the pack we created for me. And will gladly assist anyone that's wanting to do the same. I think the key is finding a suitable donor pack for your intended application. For a broke and starving college student such as myself, a custom leaf pack is out of the question. I got the leaves for $44 (with $6.50 worth of core charges if I had other springs to return) and bought old Brett a 6 pack for his efforts. I also have a pile of leafs up in the rafters of my garage in case I want more lift down the line.

 

Is that 4x4 rampaging Viking "Eric of the North" sporting this hood ornament on his Taco?

 

Can anyone tell me what wire to cut or what connection to disconnect under the passengers seat of my 2011 to disable the stupid seat belt warning. I found the connection for the driver seat and took care of it, I haven't been so lucky on the passenger seat though.
I have tried all of the methods mentioned for the '09s and 10s and they did not work on my 11. Should be an easy and quick cut or disconnect fix out there.

 

There is a procedure of key in the ignition/cycle on in the owners manual that disables the chime without cutting wires.

 

Happy hang over day.. I feel like I got smacked in the face by a bottle of jamo.

 

Not yet, but I will if you find me one!

 

The stupid human tricks with the key and ignition don't work on '12 and beyond.
I believe the break actually happened mid '11 so it's possible that if JPC's '11 is one of the later ones, it will need to be shut off via techstream.

Jeremy, you can try asking the dealer to shut it off (tell them your dog rides in the front seat or something) or, I can use the techstream clone adapter to shut it off for you. (at least I think I can. I did it on my '12)

Also, did disconnecting that wire pop up an airbag light? I've heard that disconnecting the wires to disable the seatbelt warning can deactivate airbags?
