anyone in the kitchen, anyone at all? bueller... bueller...

what a teaser, at least show me an omelet or something!

 

ya i know, and i didnt even have breakfast this morning either!

 

Ok, I have all the stuff unloaded, I moved the axle with a floor jack and my vintage 1982 Tony Hawk Powell Peralta board.

Still going after all these years and all those kegs.

I'm of to Jack in the Box for a Burrito and I'll fire up the cam and start taking it apart. Today is take it apart and plasma off the IFS brackets.

Tomorrow grind, grind, grind.

 

Bing!

i don't know who that is, but it's better than watching the oven...

 

ya but it boarders on NSFW round my place

Ill be watching

 

Ok, enough of the jokes, I'm shutting the laptop down and moving outside.

Here we go.

 

Ok, I'm outside and all hooked up. Trucks pics are uploading as of now.

I'll check back in around lunch time.

 

Game time! You guys have fun over there. We will all be watching intently, especially me since I plan on doing nothing at work today!

 

did you mention how quick it refreshes?

 

i think he said every 5 minutes, why

 

just wondering... didnt seem real quick...

 

Every 5 min. Well I know why everyone is pulling apart axles with the longer Old Man Emu front shocks.

Droop of the arms on a 100% stock TRD Tacoma with the longer TRD shocks is 15 degrees. Droop on this 4RUnner which has the limiting straps set more conservative that I did on mine is at 24 degrees.

Well DUH. That too much droop. I would say 20 max, if Toyota's engineers went 15 on the TRD and I would imagine the stock 4Runner shocks go 10 degrees.

IFS does not kill parts, too much droop does. It's always fun to test data on these projects.

 

dued, i don't think Hawk had a pro model deck until '88

<small hijack>

Snap-on! you are HERE too. We've got to wheel together at some point, it's in the cards!
