Oahu Members Thread

so i have finally decided to downsize my truck. I miss the ride it was before my spacers haha (learned the hard way) so im going to take off my spacers and give them to anyone who wants them... good for leveling a stock truck if need but thats about it. Im also going to be selling my 8" leaf pack and im trying to contact Alcan so i can get a smaller pack. Im also selling my 35" nitto mud grapplers and im gunna try to find some 33"s. If anyone knows anyone that wants this stuff ill be posting the links to the Craigslist oahu thread later this afternoon.

current plans now... crank drivers side coilover to match passenger side (via 4wp or anyone who has a spring compressor) replace blocks with Alcan leaf pack. Shocks for a bigger size (eye to loop shock mount conversion) and 33" tire on my black beadlock rims which means Regearing to probably 4.56 and front and rear ARB lockers/w onboard air. whatcha guys think?

 

As long as you keep the 6" on I don't care what you do I would call dibs on the spacers but I need a lift first haha

 

if u want em brandon they are urs... they would probably only lvl your truck. might wanna make a one inch spacer for the rear and u would be lvled

 

That would be Kaena. Sandys might have sunbathers blocking the path along the bushes.

That's my next mod. 4:56's on my 33's

 

I think ill pass on this one, thanks though. Im trying to
scroung up a 3" lift before I space it

I'm totally down for a kaena trip again. This time I won't have to bug out early.

 

idk if brendoballz and the other dropped guys would want to try out kaena point though. i was thinking more parking lot, kind of like the hawaii kai spot. can always just cookout and shoot the bullshit some afternoon.

what do you need spring compressors for? if im not mistaken, you can just use the spanner wrench, no?

regearing would be awesome. if youre breaking in there you might as well get them air lockers too. how much is that supposed to cost?

 

SAS?

 

do it!! so much easier to lift that til your hearts content.

 

Im down for Hawaii Kai cruz. Yeah can use a spanner but the spring is so damn tough im over it. i tried it before and i cant get that thing to spin. ill just take off the springs and have 4wheelparts or some other shop do em then mount them back on the truck. but i want to get everything in first before i start messing with it since im going to do another alignment.... ill probably even try get my damn recon updated so i dont gotta worry...

probably going to do that some day in the future... not now since i pretty much have everything i need for now. all im missing to complete my lift are shocks and springs for the rear.....

 

Hawaii kai would be cool too. I'll be going keana point a lot of July weekends anyways. If anyone wants to hang out just let me know

 

alright, ill make it out sometime this month too.

 

I have been going every other weekend as long as its dry last weekend had a small brush fire when I was there and had a pack of jeeps OR follow the leader also had couple of Lexus SUV lifted off roading with some old 4 runners never knew lexus made a 4x4

 

I'm down Kaena or a parking lot cruise. If we do go Sandy's, I'm going to try the soft stuff at 9psi like last time.

lol! Not scared, just respectful

Yeah, they made that their version of a land cruiser. Pretty cool lifted.

 

Can you just remove some leafs from the alcan? Good luck!

 

i have been thinking that and that way i have some spare add-a-leafs for the future when they want to sag to prop them back up. i guess i could call Atlas spring

 

OK guys so I just hit my 10k and my wife's 5k since that dealers in Hawaii don't recognize us dealers maintenance contracts. What oil should I put in the taco?
I'm thinking royal purple but that's what I used on my older used vehicles

 

Here is what I did to crank my coils. With truck on the ground, (or wheel off, jack on the LCA) I wrapped some ratcheting strap clamp around my coils and tighten them as much as possible. Then jack up the truck and most of the preload will be out. Much easier to crank them this way. Spray some lube too.

 

Soaking them with wd40 really really really helps

 

I just go with mobil1, its cheap from Costco and there's a coupon for it now.
I think spending the extra money on factory filters is more important.

 

I use Royal Purple, but really any oil is good for Toyota, Nissan, or Honda engines unless you are going to crazy modify them

Genius!!!!!!!

2nd for realz!
