Ok, that looks awesome! My FJ wants some of that baby!

I got a fellow FJ'er and also a Jeeper where I live and the three of us are planning on wheeling in Florida the weekend after x-mas (before new years).

BTW, The FJ'er is not Dom who is wimping out ... again...

We are planning on hitting some trails in Ocala, Gainesville, or whereever we can spend a few days hitting some special trails. We're not looking for nature trail scenery, we want some of what's going on in this thread!

Paul, Chris, etc... If any of you guys want to hook up we'll make the trip your way, or if anyone knows some good spots lets do them!

Also I have my Mickey Thompson MTZ's in stock size on factory alloys available if any of you guys wants them. They got about 15,000 miles on them but at least 50% life left and I would take $300 (negotiable) for everything and can drag them along if we meet up. I think Paul's rig may be the most needy so maybe he should get first dibs... (I just went with white wheelers steelies and 33's

)

Regards,

Al

I'm still waiting for my coilover to get fixed...There is only one guy in this area that can fix it and he's been backed-up for a couple weeks now...Urrrgghhhhh!!

Did you try Ideal (I think) on Powerline? Or is it a warranty deal/ I would be standing on your maunfacturers desk at this point. K

That problem is that I have to send it back to allpro so they can send it to walk evans...Well my FJ is my dd and I have nothing to put in it's place (suspension wise) until I get my shock back...It's about a 2 week turn around time...F'n sux!! So I have to pay $220 to have it rebuilt since he's the only one that can do it...Unless any of you guys can do it or help me or what not and I'll gladly pay!!

How come they are not covering it under warranty? Why do you have to pay that much to get it rebuilt? Is there a rebuild kit available? I am sure we could figure it out; it can't be that hard. I would imagine there has to be a seal rebuild kit and we could have it compressed locally but, I think I would call around for folks that do suspensions locally.

Do you still have the stock shocks(if not you're welcome to mine)? I don't know if they sent you a kit or the fully assembled shock and you had them installed. If it is a kit all you would need to buy is the upper housing from Toyota and put the stock shock in that would let you at least drive it while it is getting fixed. It is part # 8-13 on this webpage ToyotaPartSales.com x 2 if you want the truck to sit level while you sh*t is getting fixed remotely.

I already have the one and only seal that needs replaced...It's that much because the only guy that can do it charges $75.00/hr...I've called about 7 shops in the area and no one will touch a walker evan (they all call it highend)...I already know what the amount of oil and nitrogen needs to be when re-filled and have already been walked through how to fix it...I just don't have a garage or the tools to do it...Same goes for flippin' out the shock with a stock one while it gets fixed...But the time I pay shipping and go buy a floor jack and find somewhere to do it and then do it, it will cost me more than $200 in time...It sux living in a condo where you aren't even allowed to change your oil...We have been looking for a new place for 5 wks. now and hopefully will be moved by the end of January...It's tough finding a place here with a garage, but I'm set on getting one!!
