Thanks man your wagon and NJVICIVWAGON2 are the reason a lot of us are here. I can't remember if it was you or not, but didn't you have Koni yellows on the rear of your wagon and then you switched back to OEM wagon struts?

Thanks for the compliment. I trully appreciate it. To answer your question. Yes, I switched the rears to oem shocks to I can go lower. The only difference is that I had Tokico shocks before not koni's.
Please, please, PLEASE do a write up on the calipers!
I really enjoyed the 15/16 even with my basic brake job...
Lookin good man. Can't wait to see all you guys' wagons in person again!
We will have to settle for crappy phone pics but I will be taking them for sure. heading outside right now to start. I am not looking forward to bleeding the MC with no vice by myself haha

Cool thanks, I was curious how long they have lasted for you at that height? I went through several sets of cheaper brand rear wagon struts even with 2'' tophats and I was quite a bit higher in the rear than you
I figured it out and feel like a noob like usual. I fed the clear tubes back into the resivour and it worked right away. I guess air can get into the piston area if its not done that way. If there is a wrong way to do it I will find it haha.
problem number two is some pro before me used an impact on the rotor screws...... they are majorly stripped and dug in there. I wasn't able to get one rotor off. so no CL calipers for now.
Dam matt wish I was only having your problem. Think Imma have to get mine looked at. Might go to speed factory
for your timing issue? it is super frusterating when I can't even diagnose a problem
Speedfactory definitely knows what they are doing.
Ya timing is not on point yet and them CEL still pissing me off and biggest thing is the smoke. I hope my rings Arnt shot or something else in the block. Head was redone and hopefully all is well. Compression check came out good
I had a nightmare finding speed bleeders for the rear drums. I finally found them at NAPA of all places. I just called them out of frusteration they were not on my list of places to call.
Should be up and running tomorrow with new 15/16 MC, stainless lines, and new speed bleeders.
Gonna save the CL calipers and 11'' rotors for another day when I can bribe someone with an impact to take the rotor screws off
So nice. Is this with the f/r camber kits? Your ridiculously low my friend. GOOD JOB!!
Nah I havent ran a camber kit since like 2002 when I was Fast N Furious.
Not much natural camber at all in front and a decent amount in the rear, but I am running the 15x5.5'' OEM wheels with the mega high offset. I don't know how much that effects it.

Mainly looking for a new driver side mount, and pullapart will be closed when I get off work.
Does anyone have any stock decent condition mounts they can sell me? I get off tonight at 730 if anyone has one in the Tacoma-Seattle area.
Just an idea, but it'll give ya a bit more road noise.
the stance is perfect.
Never installed a MC before will it be hard to bleed with out any special tools?
Nope, just takes time.
Bleed, bleed, and bleed some more...
Haha I was worried somebody was gonna say that!
Thanks Pete, what is the status on your motor?
Ouch that is no fun

I have two hose, one out of each hole. I have them feeding into a clean container to put back into the resivour.
I am pumping the piston almost all the way but I read it was bad to push it too far in. Is this having anything to do with it taking so long?
All the videos on youtube make it look easy and a 5 minute job.
You don't have a friend/neighbor/girl that can just sit and pump the brakes while you bleed?

I been searching for a perfect lip, something more like oem, this seems to be the one.
What lip is this from?
If your compression was good, how could the rings be bad? ;-)

Hopefully will get some real quality photos soon. Distance to bottom of front door handle is at 25 3/8''
Well see if I can get it to 25'' even.
