so here’s the thing…swapped to foxes and then swapped globals to tremor springs.
handled just fine. went to a local dealer in annapolis for a oil change and had them “check” it, bam…crooked steering wheel…twice. they did refund me since they messed up the alignment twice.
they said my...
used for about 6 months or so, decided to go a bit softer and installed tremor springs.
these have an inverted overload, so they can look “off” when underload, but it’s just the nature of these.
I checked around to be sure.
there is debate which is softer, my backside says the tremor ones.
the...
has anyone seen single .25” top plate spacers (shim is probably a better term) for the ranger anywhere? i want to do that to correct the lean instead of adding more preload to the coilover.
They are a standard for toyotas and their driver side leans, just haven’t seen any for rangers?
installed the 2.0s friday, start having a rubbery squeak yesterday. it’s coming from the top hat, probably the isolator. common fox thing and part of break in?
anyone else have that?
everything is torqued down correctly, i can feel it in the spring. maybe that black top hat cover is it?
looking for low mileage tremor foxes.
I open to all mileage ones, as i’ll send them straight to fox anyway.
new take offs (or there about) just make like easy that’s all
I got some ideas.
I had progressive AAL's on my tacoma when i had one. They were nice as they didnt really lift, just the pack thickness, but they beefed up the pack at bottom out. Those that dont know- they are an AAL mini pack that has 3 very thin leaves. Common use on toyotas that have weak...
i cant for the life of me find the part number. drivers side is easy.
i broke those stupid tabs off both ends. brittle as hell. that’s after being in the sun all day, so plastic was warm.
so i swapped my bushings from my old leafs to the new ones as normal. and used alittle grease to pop them in. looks like one has swelled up some. i popped it out and cleaned it, nothing trapped in there, but when torqued down it kinda swelled again. kinda strange.
i’ll put up a pic later...
looking for seat covers. id like to find nice tight fitting ones. i tried clazzio, but they don’t do anything for the ranger yet. id like leather. if not, it’s katzkin. id just like to be able to take them off if i had to.
so today i was swapping bump stops around.
took some measurements.
things i’ve noticed.
stock is a polyurethane foam, so soft and progressive.
icon is way harder, more of a traditional bumpstop.
the icon one is actually only 3/4” shorter. the notched area on the stock one im not taking into...
selling my springs. returning to mostly stock.
550.
spring pads added to every leaf under direction of icon, they sent me the pads and approved the squeak fix. it worked.
extra leaf, pins, slides, and shims included.
so i’ve been kicking the idea around about building another camper. i’ve built teardrops and those are actually really easy and make decent money selling them (because that’s the fad now)
i want to build something like the 4wheel campers m type. not a full slide in, but a cap essentially with...
used a toyota harness with small switch in my lightforce facia, and caliraised brackets.
id like to sink it deeper in the bumper, but then i’d have to make new brackets.
I saw eibach finally came out with the pro truck resi for us. Im wondering how they compare to the pro truck sport ones. I found the pro truck sport rears to be a bit too stiff (pro truck coilovers are pretty balanced and feel good though). I found a video from eibach that stated they were...
so i had stock shocks on for about 6 months when i got the truck in 21, had around 4k on the truck. I have had eibach 2.0 on there for the last 22k(have 26k on the truck now).
front is set to 2” (23.25 hub/fender)
rear has icons option 1 (24.75 hub to fender)
rear rides how you would expect-...
has anyone cycled the front end sans coilover to see how much travel we have before everything binds? i know the stock upper bj binds before the cv, so im also curious with a aftermarket uca what it cycles.
