2006 Canadian Tacoma Build

[Redline]

Thanks much for the update, I have watched your video

When I push my 4Runner hard I bottom the suspension and rub, even with extended overload/bump stops in front. In addition to crawling, I'm hoping your 700-lb springs can handle some serious suspension cycling (like from extension to compression with weight on some mild whoops)?

After my previous post is did a little search, went to Camburg, then Sway-A-Way.

Sway-A-Way appears to make a 2.5" coilover with a 14" long, 700-lb spring for the FJ Cruiser. This should fit my 4Runner. I've got to think the taller 14" spring (their standard appears to be 13") will help keep the front end up a bit higher.

How long are your springs?

Kings 14" and the Icons are 13" at least when I took them out they were.

Well that makes the Kings and SAW look better for my application. Taller, firmer spring for the extra weight.

I’m a little concerned about some of the older posts here that say SAW doesn’t support their coilovers in the long run with parts availability.

yeah I have read too that SAW can be kinda funny with stuff like, but I have never had any issues with Icon on anything I have returned or for warranty.

ARB Fridge Finally Mounted

Finally had some time today to mount the new ARB fridge into place. So far the fridge works great and has been a very welcome addition to my truck.

The fridge is mounted to the ARB slider designed for the fridge and then bolts down through it.

well right now I have 3ft of snow in my back yard, so a truck is very needed, and my bike relaxes until next year.

Congrats, on the snorkel. I too was just going to order one today. Where did you get yours. I am going to call Kurt at Cruiser Outfitters. If he has one in stock.....I will take it! If it ships today it will be at my house tomorrow so I will have a new years project for after work.

I got mine through a 4x4 shop here in Edmonton. It will take a little over a week to get, but that's ok since Its really been snowing over the past few weeks.
