Thanks!!!
the TRD Struts coming in the mail tomorrow, can't wait to get it install this weekend... yippeee!!!

 

here's a teaser pix!!!

 

Dang installing on trd struts is a b#### on hand tools had to ran to autozone to rent another spring compresser set, had to max out on the compressor still cant get enought had to use a 3rd one to compress it more!!!

 

Finally done install my TRD Struts!!! Start at 6PM, Finished at 2AM! minus 40min go to autozone rent another set spring compressor and BK.

The new TRD Struts side by side with the **** up OEM Struts and bellow.


OEM Struts is 23" with the TRD Spring it has a 1/2" freely with no compression.


TRD only 19.5", that's 3.5" shorting which make I have to use 3 compressor max it out in other to get the top mount on. hand tool only


Cut 1/2" Bump Stop for the front only.




take about an hour to get one done! second strut was quicker. Also you can see the left TRD+OEM the guy assemble it incorrectly, look close into it you'll see!!!


Mounting the front Struts! I always fix my car starting at 6pm, weather here is






The TRD+OEM Struts I made a trade with my RL, the guy assemble the front strut with the top mount face the chassis instead of facing the wheel which flex the struts, spring not seated right give uneven heights = FAILED!!!, the rear spring wasn't seat right also which make the height different = FAILED, gonna remeasure the height tomorrow, and do a DIY Throttle Body cleaning.

 

nice diy! cant wait to see it install/settled/lowwerreedd

 

thx, maybe I should do a DIY for TRD Spring & Stuts installation.

 

BUMP

 

it looks good. i kind of like the spoiler that you put on it.

 

car looks really really good man. i'm not feeling the bumper i'd say find a lip kit you like but thats just my opinion, and gold on super white is perfect.

 

thanks guys, I actually haven't had time to mount the Viniati Flush spoiler yet,

 

do you really ned AWD in new orleans?

 

well I prefer a RWD, but 4WD is a better option since I could use it for towing trailor if I had to do a big move later on, and probably can tow some small trailer for traveling... I'm pretty sick and tired of FWD now... they don't do so good on cornering specially when the weather is bad!

 

ah well to each their own. i think you're doing a damn good job with the tc.

 

check out a video of my car i just put together... plz show some love

also my Seafoam DIY

 

i thought it would lower more with the trd combo guess not that ish looks pretty high only if it could tuck a little tire

 

I'm not really satisfy with the setup, like most other states on this forum when I did my research. It's more stiff and bumpy then I expected

 

i have trd springs on my stock struts and ride is good not to bouncy nor to stiffy id say, i wonder why with the trd struts it gives you more of a stiff ride..

but in your opinion this is a better ride then raceland coilovers i bet

 

like the wheel color a lot.

nice job on the DIY too
