Friday poll is up.

I need to get a tape on it but feels like 2" nose high? So I'd need more like 2" in the rear, either AAL or new pack. No way I'd go block. Could be fun but not sure that's exactly what I'm after for this truck. I think maybe what I really should do is get the front exactly where I want it for ride quality and then decide if I need to lift the rear based on where that ends up.

 

F’ing suspensions are such a PIA.

 

When looking at calipers, what does "semi-loaded" mean?

 

Semi loaded means it comes with hardware but no pads. Loaded is everything with the pads already in the caliper ready to install.

 

Pics don’t do it justice but it looks pretty good and drives well!

 

Covid killed our Joseph A Banks.

 

what year is that? got a 3.5? i can help make more power....

 

05 I think with a 3.3. It’s a customers car so we’ll see how much those bfg’s slow him down. I can tell the braking was definitely affected.

 

I really need to cut the mufflers off my gf's SHO. Same size motor and everything. I'm not saying the 3rd gen tundras motor is undersized, but it's the same size as a taurus.

 

front brakes on those are an easy fix. the newer toyota sienna calipers bolt right on if it has 17s.

 

It sure does! That’s good to hear, I’ll let him know. Appreciate it.

 

yea. fun fact. i have 2018 sienna front brakes on my avalon. LOL

 

Customers van that he’s gonna take offroad and camp in it. 3.5” lift on 30’s.

I feel like I want to make my ES have more power but I know there isn't any practical reason to do it since it's just a daily and it isn't really slow to begin with.

That video you posted with a 3.5 screaming is tempting though lol.

 

@empty_lord Feel like an MKC y-pipe or similar may even just make it sound better too. I just saw a pic of the stock Y-pipe. That's pretty ridiculous how small they made it.

 

That's awesome! I thought you were joking in your previous post.

 

I don’t joke around when lifting a vehicle! Its not your conventional lift in the rear so it was fun and frustrating at times. Next sienna will only take me 4 hours, 5 with mounting, balancing and alignment.

 

I didn't like it at all... the power was nice but the besides were entirely too tall to see behind you when parking

I never once used the back seats either

 

Makes a noticable difference

they crush it on purpose. That’s how they kill the noise

 

Actually looks better than I imagined. And someone has good taste in brew.

 

Got a Men's Warehouse, or Burlington Coat Factory? Those are other budget spots.

 

I’ve been toying with this idea for my wife’s 2011 sienna….

 

Whats your 1st gen tundra like compared to the Nissan?

 

Yeah, super popular, it’s not really my bag

 

Kind of. More than, say, Coors or Bud or Corona.

 

tundra feels heavier, but the titan is bigger.
I prefer the titan, its more comfortable, faster, transmission is easier (up/down control of all gears, instead of the OD button). Tundra is 4x4, fits into parking spots better, sounds better, better to drive in traffic, subjectively looks better.

Titan was an ad truck, manual locks/windows/seats. Tundra is a limited, but as a real man, i know all those options are just potential problems.

 

I think it’s still a California beer, not yet distributed nationally. 805 is an area code. Central California. The red part of the state, lots of agriculture. They’ve had some good campaigns. Kinda yesteryear Americana kind of stuff.

 

I know @Azblue really likes it, maybe I’ll give it another shot one day…….
