Did my install today

Its ironic you ask, I never really drink at home, save it for the bars. But Saturday night I did by some rum for a party but I ended up not going so I could get going early in the morning, after I got done with the install I had a nice rum and coke

Got the alignment done today. went with the Firestone lifetime warranty, here are the specs they got it too

Left Right
Camber 0.2 0.2
Caster 4.3 4.8
Toe 0.06 0.05

Cross Camber 0.0
Cross Caster -0.6

 

how much did you pay for the rear shocks? im lookin to buy the same ones. also, how often do you have to re-valve them?

 

Pics of truck?

 

Here is a pic of the rear shocks



Blurry pic of the clearance between the tire and shock



I don't have updated pics of the whole truck, but I was lifted before anyways so here is what she looks like, just got new panties under the skirt ;-)

 

I think I paid about $390 for the shocks. For me I really wanted the a rear piggy back resi-over the Icons which are detached and they were cheaper then the $475 for the Icons. Another thing is Icons are not rebuilable from what I understand but these are, however the Icons do have a lifetime warranty. I am not sure how often I will have to rebuild them.

Check out this thread I made, it explains I purchased FJ OE replacement shocks, not Tacoma shocks. Because of that I needed different bushings and sleeves.

FJ rear FOX Shocks from ORW

 

How much for the alignment?

 

Nice

 

thanks. so $390 including bushings and sleeves, correct?... wonder if i should go this rout or get the Tacoma fox's since my rear is stock and i dont ever plan on going over 1" in the rear

 

Which firestone did you go to? I might go that route. Wow, 4* on the caster, thank god for uca's huh? Do u rub the front bumper with that much caster? I may need to go above 3* on mine.

 

You should be good with the Tacoma version then. They are nearly the same length as the 5100's everyone gets. I only have a 1.5" lift in the rear but I wanted to match the length of the Icons since I got the alcan 3 leaf pack which I am guessing to be the exact same parts as the Icon 3 leaf pack

I don't really see how the shocks would spin so the reservoir would hit, tightened them down pretty good.

 

I went to the one in Tempe on Baseline near Rural. I'm not much of an expert on alignment which so not 100% what if I'm good there, feedback welcome.

Pretty happy that the tech who worked on my truck has a Titan with TC UCA and FOX C/O's. He knew whats up. They were actually pretty helpful, I needed to adjust my coilovers before the alignment (which you helped in that thread thanks again) and he did it with no hesitations really

 

well thanks for the info bro! nice truck btw

 

oh and Sublime, I am totally down for a little off-roading trip in the near future... AKA this weekend, you free?

 

Hell's yea! May be in Tucson with the wife for a day of two but I have all 3 days off for MLK.

 

Thats right, its the 3 day weekend, SCORE. I've got a an Army buddy coming in from Cali and were supposed to boarding on Sat, not really sure though
