Front suspension and washer bottle...

[King Triton]

"In regards to my situation, good news there, TDC has said to me that they have send out Express Mail the correct wiring loom last night and that mine was the first hilux that they've had to do with the 6 pin connector.

So when it gets here, I'll send the old one back as they requested but until then. Cant wait to install it."


Howdy - any good news yet? or has the Xmas post delayed it... :-)

Am I right in presuming lifting the front of the manual a bit ( 1 or 2" ) causes no issues...???

Anyone found a DIY fix for the stoopid washer bottle just waiting to be smashed to pieces on the front left...???

[cyberhonky]

the snorkel units come with an aluminium one to replace the stocky- im thinking of whipping one one anyways

[Blue]

OK now I'm lost... how/why did my thread get merged...???

[cyberhonky]

this is the matrix- get used to it

[jop]

you chose the blue pill

[Blue]

[b[jop[/b[

and I had a hard-on for a week

[Buzzy]

Some weird shit is happening here
This is the second thread that this has happend to

[Blue]

and I still don't know if I can lift the front an inch or two without issue...???????????

[cyberhonky]

blue- i put 2" dobbies in the front only- its fine

[Blue]

Thanks Mr Honky, did you change the struts or just the springs...??? I'm thinking just springs atm as I am eating into the budget for other more important things (read: shit the missus wants)...lol

[cyberhonky]

just springs at the moment- didn't make sense to chuck the struts when they were only 5000k's old- same with the rear leaves- i'll get them hot reset (up ~30mm) as opposed to chucking them for new ones.

[Blue]

Looks like a call to my mate at Ironman is in order...

[cyberhonky]

try dobinsons- i called into ironman and got a price, and even with shipping the dobbies were still only around $160/pr

[Blue]

I'll keep that in mind, I get silly pricing though

Out of curiosity, what did Ironman quote...???

[cyberhonky]

cant remember exactly (it was back at easter)- slightly more i think- but availability was the issue.

[Blue]

Hmmm... need them in by the end of the month - might have to settle for Dobo's - thanks for the info...

[ML-VR08]

Blue, i have some EFS Coils and wanna get rid of them!!!

[Blue]

[b]ML-VR08[/b]

How tall are they...??? What do you want for them...???

[cyberhonky]

you know someone at IM blue?

[Blue]

Yeah I do, I probably should have saved my last for a PM...lol

[cyberhonky]

ask them if they'll supply the light insert assemblies only- off their bars- a mate is after a set

[ML-VR08]

Can have them for $100 brand new 2.5" coils

[Blue]

Will do honky...

Awfully tempting ML, I have to speak to my mate tomorrow anyway, OK if I get back to you tomorrow arvo/evening...???

[ML-VR08]

Yer mate, just let me know how it all goes! As i couldnt fit the EFS springs with the lift i already got...unless i got a bullbar then i would need them...i would rather just get the stock springs reset if i needed a bit more lift!
