Wyoming B.S. Thread

one was a 5spd.

all you man

but if you do a manual..you will reaaaallllyyy have to regear haha

 

few elockers there too for under 300

Edit: totally lied. Looking at tcases. They want WAY to much for an e locker lol

 

nope nope what?

and they want 1450 for an elocker axle lol

 

....well..duh.

You don't need to preach to me that. i'll take my strong 8.4 diff with an arb any day over your silly elocker haha

I was aiming that at Josh if he wanted a locker.

 

welcome to home ownership haha

could probably find an open axle and then get the harrop in it at this rate lol

 

Got the BP-51s and Ricochet skids on the FJ the other day, so I thought I'd run it up Roger's Canyon and do a shake down on some wash board. Stopped by the caves on the way back to take a few shots with my crappy prehistoric phone.

 

We buy quite a bit from them for the shop. Way friendly and very good customer service. Inventory is pretty good too as they have more cars than then are vehicles registered in Buffalo.

 

Nice looks fun! How do you like the BP51s?

 

Haha! Way better than the cheap Rough Country that I put on it 7 years ago! I'm going to load it down this weekend and go hit some trails, bring it back in Monday and recheck the alignment. Tacoma will be next if I like them on this.

 

i remember they stirred up a big storm when they were going to be launched..but never heard a lot of users try them.

 

Well they cost a small fortune, but I figured since my 15 y.o. kid has been being a butthead lately anyway, he wouldn't miss part of his college tuition.

 

really? Cost more then a bigger "name brand" coilover??

 

Holy shit..haha no wonder you don't see people running them. Expensive!

Nice you can dial compression and rebound though.

 

LOL, I though Old Man Emu was a big name brand since they've been around since 1975. I've never had any experience with King, ICON, or any others except Bilstien and ToyTec. I was really attracted to their R&D and the fact that ARB products have always been good to me and never left me stranded, so I decided to give it a go. Doing my own R&D of sorts, and I do install suspensions for customers as well, so I'll be plenty opinionated if I have a problem. Oh, with the FJC group buy, they were about $500 off of MSRP, so the timing was key also.

 

eh. I guess they are. But for my gen of tacoma they offer nothing that compares to something like a King/Fox/ADS/Icon. Nothing is rebuildable or custom valving or even resi's.

They are basically dual bypass coilovers. Pretty cool really. So price makes sense. Bypasses are never cheap.

 

I'll take my 8.4 too. I'll just curse my open diffs for a bit longer until I get gears and ARB's.

 

I'd really like the Harrops i think the more i look at them...but then i remember how much they cost..and laugh. ARB baby.

 

That was a selling point too.

 

ARB claims they're fully rebuildable though. Probably take an act of God to get them back Down Under for that repair!

 

Yeah a little too rich for my blood. I'll be happy as long as all the tires spin when I want them to.
