maybe he wanted a head start on the 3-day weekend?

 

Yeah, They usually do. It's a pretty long walk with that thing if they try to park out front.

 

Have you installed UCA's on 2nd gens yet?

 

Yo just for all the guys who didn't know. There is a smallkine meet over by sandys (erma's side) around 2-3ish... i might head down a little after noon now once i finish some of my projects

 

been creepin around tw for awhile, i had an 2010 xreunner and now a 2013 prerunner sport. just wondering if anyone knows how to wrench in a 6 inch maxtrac lift with 5100s and rear blocks....nothing special, i was just gonna use the blocks until i find a better alternative with a good price. i have access to base auto hobby shops too....im willing to by the beer...lol or we can work something out

 

Pretty straight forward install on the spindles. There is a Sticky in the suspension page to switch out the spindles/kunckles. The longest part is loosening up the 4 bolts to get the hub off the spindle. Takes a while, but keep wiggling and working it. Not sure if the 6" has the same offset problem as the 4". Hope you already have new rims or spacers if needed. For my experience level, I would have the hardest time changing out the break lines..

For the rear blocks are a breeze. A lot easier than even doing a AAL.

I would definitely help, but I'm sidelined for a bit.. I can sideline coach but can't get hands-on..

 

if its my day off and i dont have any chores.... ill be happy to help out

 

damn, actually i wont be able to start until my rims and tire come in from 4wp, got a good deal from chad, he priced matched my internet shipped price for some 285/70/17 toyo at 2s and procomp 7069s.....should be in by the end of the month until then the lift kit just sits in my back seat.....lol thanks for th eoffers...hopefully the offer still there when it comes in i will holla when it comes in...mahalos for all the quick responses! das tru aloha right derr!

 

I got the 7069s (in my gallery). I like that classic look..

The next issue your gonna need to check out is your recon (after everything).. Your biggest obstacle will be your 285s with the offset of the 7069s. I barely passed with 265s. 285 may or may not... wise, to try and get it, and go back with flare extensions if needed.

For your rear, maybe a set of Dakars with the Dakar AAL and a smaller block if needed. Or custom rear leafs.. I would think you need extended break lines for a 4" block (but not 100% sure). Also, hope you got the extended length chocks for the rear.

 

Thanks. Gonna check it out right now.

 

im not too concerned about recon, i can always get my saftey easy...offset should be good. my rear yeah thats an issue i want to resovle but since the 4" block came with the kit and the rear leafs are still new i might as well put it to use while i look for AALs. and yes i have extended lines for front and rear and extended shocks for the rear...thanks for the help....

 

i think i seen you on wed afternoon on king street going towards UH....i drive a pyrite prerunner sport extd bed ....btw nice bumpers

 

damn, thanks for the offer...im thinking about just getting spacers while i wait for my rim n tires....but i didnt want to take it to alignment then do it again when i get the wheels in....

 

this might change real soon with the new take a photo of your car at safety time, and the inspectors # on your safety check sticker.... just sayin

 

^^ what the fuck happen to the whole doing away with the whole safety check thing. I remember seeing it on the news, but HI is expensive as fuck so the state has to freackin find every way to milk us. freackin aye

 

Is this crap seriously happening or they're not sure yet? I heard November, but I'm hoping it never happens.

 

^ i saw it on the news a month? back saying they are going electronic. there was another thread here with a lot of info from someone who sounds like he had some insider info.

time will tell i guess....

 

yups, everything will go electronics in a few months. seems like they're getting a lot more stricker for safety checks.

thats just one of the many reasons i decided to get the firestone lifetime allignment i can go in every day to get my truck alligned if i want

 

I have it but used it once...hard to find a good shop I can trust that understands how the LR UCA's work. But I might use it when I do the steering rack, they shouldn't have to touch the tires.
