    im sorry...PC? You have a gaming PC now?

    I've never received shocks not charged. Also this was for coilovers which you can't make smaller anyways so I think that argument is void.

    I've never heard of Kings shipping uncharged either, but can't say i've paid that close attention either. Only thing I know that usually isn't is hydro bumps are pretty much never shipped charged.


    hard to be a small shop. But in some ways, thats the dream for a lot of people. Start a business, make it successful, sell it for big profit. Retire.

    For coilovers yeah it wouldn't make sense. Thought we were talking in general though.

    That's what a few shops have told me over the years for King. Again though don't think it applies to vehicle specific ones but dunno.

    Not sure why they couldn't do like a lot of non-rebuildable shocks do (Monroe type stuff) and compress them and then use that plastic banding stuff to hold them compressed during shipping.


    From that thread though, it sounds like the main issue is just ADS not making it clear whether they are charged or not which isn't cool.

    @Speedytech7

    Is there a place online that you can find Toyota oem wire on spools that the harnesses for the vehicle are made out of? Curious since you were talking about other wiring adventures earlier. Could use some and have run out of my donor harness.

    Painless wire might be a good option.

    If you're talking about the various colored/tracered wires they use, no i don't believe you can get the OEM. Pigtails and such are out there and Wiring Specialties builds harnesses with colored and tracered wire so they might sell you a spool or two if you call. I find most of my automotive wire on Waytek wire, unfortunately unless you're buying in huge bulk colored and tracered wire is expensive and hard to come by.

    That's a good method too, even just buying a junk harness from another cheapo and preferably newer toyota might be a good idea, like a newer camry or something

    id pass. Newer toyotas have vegtable oil based wire coats. The critters love to munch on that shit. Have had it happen here at work where the mice and rabbits have very badly damaged harnesses.

    Hmm maybe a comparable older one instead then. We don't have mice issues here so eaten wires are super uncommon.

    Not oem but "better". This guy does a lot with FJ40 electrical (refurbs/rebuilds harnesses) so has some of the colored wire. Depending what colors you need (and gauge) he might have them or be able to tell you where to get them.

    Lol okay got a link to what you bought?

    And steam is a game store run by valve. It's like the largest game store for PC. Discord is a chat service that is used by gamers. We have a two discord server and few others so you can chat on them via voice or IM and stuff. Plus play with other people and chat in game and stream. Blah blah blah.

    Anyways. If you have some fps stuff I'm usually down to play a hour or so here and there. Always fun to blow some steam off for a few rounds.
