    I REALLY need to do this! After our wheeling trip at the end of the month, I plan on tearing the front end apart on the Taco to rebuild and reinforce it. Need to get shit organized.

    I found this on Craigslist. It was down south mother sports. https://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/pts/d/san-diego-king-shocks-rod-ends/7064723086.html I got the o rings and oil from them to. They hooked it up. Also found a set of 650lbs springs like new from another tw member for $40 shipped.

    That’s basically mine. Changes with wheel speed, much louder at slow speeds but def doesn’t sound like dust shield rubbing.

    Mine does that. I've been ignoring it since it hasn't gotten worse. Waiting for the wheel to fall off.

    For the oh so lovely public roads of Tucson (pothole ridden) the bumpstops/coilovers do help on those hard sudden hits. I guess it depends on what kind of "jarring" hits you're facing. The pothole/speed bump ones were definitely softened by upgrading the hockey puck-esque stock bumpstops. If you're coming from worn out stock parts store shocks then Kings/Icon/Fox/ADS will feel like gently gliding on a cloud over them.

    Same, but the grinding is getting louder. Especially when I turn left.

    Anyone have suggestions on replacement fenders? I crushed mine on a trail, knocked it mostly straight but it's right at the front corner and can't get it just right for the headlight. I've looked at local wreckers but they're wanting much more than aftermarket
