MARYLAND TACOMAS

x2

 

As soon as the AALs aren't backordered anymore (I ordered at the end of july )

5100's for all four corners, Wheeler's HD AAL, and OME 885 coils.

I've been keeping in touch with Wheeler's every few weeks or so, so I'll probably email again today or tomorrow and see if theres anymore info on delivery date. I've thought about just changing over to the standard AAL since it seems to be less of a demand and last I spoke with Dan it was in stock. Not really sure what I want to do though.


EDIT: I don't have a whole lot of tools or expertise, but in exchange for help, I can supply some food/drink

 

All I ask is that you learn as much as you can in the process, so that when someone else needs a hand with their first lift, you can help them out

Since you have 5100s and new springs coming in, all I'd say is to get the springs mounted on the shocks before whenever the mod day is. if you can do that, it will be a very fast/easy install.

 

That's my main goal!

And yea, I'll probably take them down the street to Meineke or something the day after I get everything to have them mounted. I don't trust the little spring compressors that Autozone has. haha



EDIT: Damnnnnn, just my luck. I got impatient and emailed Wheelers - they have the AAL's in stock now, but their shipment of 5100's was sent back due to manufacturer defects so now no 5100s. I think i'm just going to take the AAL's and coils, and buy 5100's somewhere else.

 

they're terrible. I swore not to use them after we had 2 impact guns going simulteniously, and stall barely got the springs on. they are made for car springs, not big fat OME coils.


these are from 4 years ago, and I vowed to never use one again.....

 

well that just plain sucks... might try DSM and see if they can get them too you, although they probably cant beat wheeler's price

That just looks like an accident waiting to happen.... IMO compressing the springs on the truck is a safer method than those things

Also, id be down to come lend a hand, not sure if i will have anything to install though

 

Haha yea they just look sketchy to me. Never actually used one, but I've heard horror stories even from my friends big into Audi/VW. I can't imagine them having a very high spring rate either.


It looks like Wheeler's is going to send me my AAL's, rear shocks, and front coils asap. Looks like DownSouth Motorsports has them for a decent price..

 

Hah I was just looking at them. Not cheaper, but not too far off. still cheaper than toytec.

 

got plenty of time to buy something

 

rear lift and front ome coils are shipping from Wheelers today. Just placed an order with downsouth for the front 5100s i'm un-reasonably excited right now haha

 

Lol. Sounds pretty reasonable to me

 

That blows, that was the same as mine, but they were extremely quick to accept responsibility, though it was also pretty cut and dry even the police gave the guy a ticket.

 

Nice. I tend to meet up with Tex in Shamokin and blow up things with tannernite =)

 

If I got my truck back by then lol I've got to hook up the HID kit again.

 

I never shared what the other car looked like:

 

Totally totaled braaaaaah

 

Yea unfortunately there was no way to avoid him, to much car in either direction

 

Well the hold up is the other driver she was not the owner of the car and I dont know if she is even insured took 2 days to get the owner and I still dont know if they ever got ahold of the driver. She was charged but just negligent driving no witness

 

Oh man... Well at least the cops busted her too, that will help you out.

 

That's almost as the same setup I have... I have 886s up front waiting on my Pelfreybuilt plate bumper. =)
