Standard Load (P metric) or a Load Range C (6 ply LT) will be more than enough for what you’re wanting to do

 

FS: 2006 unicorn. Has less miles than this piece. $19k. No lowballs. I know what I got.

 

FWIW, I run C load range tires on my 02 Tundra without any issues. My pig is heavy too.

 

currently running Load Range C Duratracs on mine

 

Anybody interested in gusseted knuckles? I sourced a set of OEM knuckles to weld, but no takers thus far. Just seeing if anybody is interested.

In addition, any interest in a set of TRD PRO Fox Coilovers? Right at 16,200 on the clock when removed off an 18 4Runner. No rears, just the fronts.

 

I bought a kit from Energy Suspension. I have a press and all the tools, but they sent the wrong parts. The kit was cheap, but wasn't worth returning IMO. Decided to just get all new rear upper and lower control arms instead...

I ended up buying OEM rubber bushings for the front and rear sway bars. I can get you the part numbers if you need.

Ended up picking up the KDSS spacers and @eimkeith PCK as a package from Treaty Oak. Will report back with results post install... (*waiting for @Bubbles to ask about KDSS spacers and skid plate compatibility)

 

Got my RCI skid and mini skid deflector thingy on my 460 tonight. PO must have sheered one of the two old front most bolts off... so I got it on with 5 of 6 bolts. It’s really sturdy though. I’ll mess with it some other time. Will probably drill it out and put a bolt/nut through. Feels good enough for now. Plus I’m a degenerate piece of garbage and I’ve had skids partially held on with zip ties in the past and had no issues wheeling fairly hard

 

I had the same issue for the front mounts. Also drilled out the holes and just thru mounted a M8 bolt with an oversized washer. Luckily there are preexisting holes on top of the support that let a bolt through.

 

ha! good to know i'm not alone.

 

The shop finally calmed down enough to get the Dobinsons panhard bar installed and the alignment done. The rear axle centered up just fine but it is slight out of alignment. Doesn't affect steering or handling but I may buy the adjustable rear lower control arms. And I currently have the driver's lean even though I don't have KDSS and both front coilovers are the same length. Gonna drive it a few weeks, let everything settle in then evaluate what to do next. If the lean is still there, I can add a spacer or just adjust the coilover.
Gonna reiterate how on road ride is SO GOOD with the Dobinsons. Slightly better than stock full sport mode.

 

you probably need to adjust the driver front to be higher. What is your fender to hub on each corner?

 

ith

The driver's side is about 3/4" lower in the front. Gonna wait for it to settle then figure it out.

 

is this due to the weight of the gas tank? i know that was an issue with "taco lean" on the tacomas

 

It seems it's an issue with most of these similar vehicles, Tacos, 4Runners, FJs and I guess GXs. The battery, driver and gas tank is all on one side.

 

yup - that checks out. i had the same issue on both my tacomas and my 4runner haha. on my last tacoma i put a small spacer on the drivers side (1/4" i think) and it basically evened it out

 

Since I have coilovers now, I can just adjust the driver's front to make it level.

 

good call

 

Threw some ricochet LCA skids on. They don’t cover the cam at all since they were meant to go with the ricochet IFS skid that covers the cams. I know for the most part LCA skids are useless but I wanted to try these out for their extra height and somewhat protecting the CVs/boots/lower shock or whatever. They look nice at least lol.

 

Just curious, who here is on IH8MUD? I didn't remember but I signed up back in 2013 when I had a 1986 Toyota Pickup. But I'm there a little now.

 

I creep on there, but don't have an account

I like the format a lot more than clublexus
