Uh oh, it sounds like Alex has the wheeling bug pretty bad. A solid axle would be awesome.

 

haha yes i do greg i was lookin at lifts for the 4runner lst night and it seems like the majority of them come along with a solid axle swap, and well since its not really my dd why not

 

What is this spacer Yu speak of? I'm not under warranty any more. But I don't think that I broke any suspension stuff. It all looks good. I recently got the leaf spring tsb dqone about a month before the trip and I need to replace the front shocks soon. The dealership told me that. And they are squeaking like crazy at the slightest bump. But it is crazy that it is leaning that much.

 

Here is the spacer: It's only like $20 and it takes about 30 minutes to install. You don't have to disassemble the strut. It just sits on the 3 bolts between the top plate and the frame mount. I've heard the lean frequently gets worse after the TSB leaves for some reason. The front or rear is squeaking? If it's the back, a drive thru power wash directly into the leaves usually helps. You may want to add some lithium or marine grease in there too. I've seen several threads on how to fix that. The shocks, good or bad, shouldn't cause any squeaking.

 

A couple of extra things I thought of:
If you already have a spacer lift, you may or may not be able to use that single one too. Ask the people at Toytec. If you upgrade to a coil lift, it definitely works. If you go OME coil lift, they have a different spacer that sits at the bottom of the shock but essentially does the same thing. If you go to adjustable coilovers, they can obviously be individually adjusted to suit and you wouldn't a spacer.

I think you also said it's worse in the back than the front. I think that is pretty common. It's still corrected up front though.

 

lol.... what are you planning on doing?

 

I got a free radio from some random person on cl I was gonna take off the faceplate and paint it white and see how it turns out

 

lol.... I am working on using my dash kit that I got to fit some gauge pods in there....

 

Hey Hieu or maybe Anthony would know. Hieu what kind of mesh did you use for your satoshi? Where did you get it and how much was it? I'm gonna start working on mine and need to get the mesh for it.

Sorry no pics yet from me of the trip yet. I'm having computer issues.

 

hey man im pretty sure they used stucco mesh from home depot, its like 5 bucks for a 3 x 6 piece or something like that, i know its big enough to cut a few grills if need be

 

Wa....pshhhh.......

 

haha you lucky ass

 

Lol... not lucky... just patient with my money.
