Ontario BS Thread

no, it would not be any faster inflating.
in a group, you air up as fast as the slowest guy since he's the one that runs the 12v cig-lighter socket air pump.

for the $220 for the airlines, and $230 for the compressor. i could get 4 of these to pass to others.

hell i could get 1 of those for each tire and set and forget to the PSI i want.

We're not playing on "The Amazing Race" or some Ontario Dakar rally where a 2 minute difference from filling up each individual tire vs all 4 at once will make or break a trip. if that is the case - then that problem was further back in time.

the real difference i see is that the compressor works harder for less time for all 4 over less work for longer time for individual tire.

 

Oh I know, but me always wants fancy shit.

 

You should look into 8112 series shocks... might be one of the few ones out there that are designed for Russian driving... built in bumpstops and no limit straps required...

 

no parts availability tho, even more rare than Elka/Toytec...

 

Yeah I never understood the hurry in airing up. It's almost like no one wants to be the last guy. I think I'm pretty quick now doing one at a time and I don't know if four would be any quicker.

 

So no luck anywhere in USA, Canada, went to CT no bueno, called directly no bueno... 2.5 Elkas for sale, DM me for availability

May be stuck till next summer on jacks now

 

Try man. There must never something that fits in the shock bottom mount hole.

 

But you forgot the overland points!!

Imagine the envy in the mall parking lot when you see this fanciness coiled up on your bedrack beside the sun faded virgin traction boards!

If you don't get a set of the "automatic" deflators, this would save you some time during deflation....

But the length of hoses are going to take up some space in your storage.

 

Sheet said he'd give you his OR shocks, and I have a set of Sport shocks if you need them.
(Lol off-roading with the sport shocks, say bye to your spine).

Figure those two sets of shocks MAY last 'till spring with you.

 

Does KONI shocks have any options for Tacoma?

 

Lol I'll be riding on bump stops and they'll last me up to the first pothole...

I've got the least reliable car now being the most reliable as a daily, truck is getting parked till I figure what's next. First world problems, 3 cars - 2 ain't running

 

I was gonna make a 2-tire hose because I have about 40 extra feet but I don't have a compressor that could fill 2 at a time

 

@Norilsk what are you looking for exactly? I'll help search online

 

Take that shock to a machine shop and have them make you a solid brass bushing you can press in place of what was there.

 

This entire new piece of the lower shock mount plus the bearing, nobody got it. Already poked everywhere in USA/Canada. Manufacturer still checking, but if not found in the first 24 hours she is gone as they say

 

I'll trade you for my stock suspension

 

Somebody pointed out in elka thread that failure is due to lack of service, must be replaced every year I guess? What else can be done? @llamasmurf and @tacoma16 better start gathering spare bearings, at least those are easy to find unlike shaft mounts

this is good advice. do this.

 

That would be the sensible thing to do…buying shocks is apparently easier.
