Social survey on Touchdogs — logbook Toyota 4Runner, 2001

Greetings. So, as it was decided earlier, next week, according to plans, the purchase of a set of shock absorbers and new springs. For spacers … well, not a shorter option.
So, after re-reading megabytes of pages of domestic and foreign sites, making an adjustment for the presence in the store, I chose such a kit.
— 4 Toughdog FoamCell shock absorbers such www.toughdog.kz/ru/shop/item/610/ for a 41 mm lift. Fasteners ear / rod as it should -4
FoamCell springs for a standard weight up to 300 kg lift 41 cm . of which there are not many. I want to get a small lift while maintaining almost standard angles, elasticity, but not the roll of the machine.


H.z. It seems that everywhere they write that a touchdog with correctly selected springs will satisfy my needs best of all, and the reliability seems to be normal.
Here. Who had an affair, or out of the corner of his ear heard something, share))

I haven’t bought or installed it yet) as I put it, I’ll brag and you can congratulate))

Well, on Toyotas, too, relatives go the most, but in order to make a normal lift for relatives, you must either put oak ones from 80/105, or take sawing and brewing from 120. In short, all this is kroilovo, and it is known where it leads. Only those who chose the wrong springs complain about the touchdogs, they took them too hard. I think that it will be possible to understand from the first trips, and if anything, push the springs and buy new ones)

I heard that native amorths go the longest on patrols, and not a touchdog, for example)

Well, here's the thing. Someone is lucky, someone is not. But if the statistics show that many of them are leaking, then there is something to think about. Some and Kaiba do not leak, for example, 100tkm each)

I don’t agree about the leaking shocks. My back is more than two years old, the mounts were torn off, everything around was dented, I thought, well, that’s all, pipets! But no, they drive, and how! Plus the difference in price!

A lot of people complain about OME. And not only about sagging springs, but also about leaking shock absorbers. OME dropped immediately for this reason. Regarding the roll / energy intensity. You have to try. Now I have a pretty tight set. speed bumps shake out their guts. But on the waves, in the corners, yes, everything is fine and fine here))) I would like to find a middle ground. We must try)

D
Dyoba 19.02.22

I haven’t heard about the tachtog, but my standard OME got hooked in a year, although we drive a maximum of 2 people. behind, and a little in the trunk. I would take + 200kg, and the rolls are smaller and more reliable. Passengers only squeezed the handles harder)

hmm. well, mine is about 2. ok, let's see, let's hope for a trace. weekend everything will be on board already)

According to the manufacturer - a little more than one and a half tons. I haven't weighed mine, there's no time.

m

How much does a magpie weigh?

O
Odyssey4x4 19.02.22

Now you won't know the truth. But I think that it was just a magpie that turned out to be easy for them, so it was shaking.

Thanks for the feedback! I will not take adjustable ones. Achkuyu. The Americans (Canadians) wrote that there were cases of Amort failure in the cold. They sin on adjustment, since ordinary ones normally tolerate frost. Well, and they don’t make adjustable ones for my car, only with alterations if ...
Or maybe they were hard because they were poorly pumped before installation? FoamSells are two-pipe.
I wanted Ralph, maximalism, communism) But, fortunately, Ralphs are also not made for 185 runners))

Touch Dog quality does not fail yet. For two years I was choosing a suspension for my 80-ku, as a result, I settled on Touch Dog. After six months of waiting set, but the train is not enough.
Put adjustable — liked. The downside is that the adjustment knob is not dismantled and in shit it can be easily demolished. We need to weld protection for her.

And on the fortieth I had the first Touch Dog suspension. Ammorty Foam Cell. I miscalculated or the catalog lied a little, I don’t know, but the ammorts for the magpie turned out to be incredibly tough. But I did not know this, I thought it was springs. Sold the suspension on the cruiser 60-ku. When they began to dismantle, it turned out that the springs were soft, but the shocks were stone. It happened. I drove a little more on them than on the 80-ke.
So the choice is good. But if the machine is used with different loads, think about it, maybe you should take adjustable ones.

P / S And what a huge Ralph Touch Dog has ...

well, yes. I wrote about it)

S
Synthraven 19.02.22

Well, if you need to return somehow)))

m
motorpics 19.02.22

So what makes you climb somewhere when it has already been torn off / leaked out nafig?) This is already the business of the owner of the car))

S
Synthraven 19.02.22

Well, situations are different. Sometimes it is dangerous to climb mountains in leaked ones.

And so I came here from a hood in general with a torn off bracket and nothing)

m
motorpics 19.02.22

It was a joke, of course. In extreme cases, you can get there with leaked ones)

S
Synthraven 19.02.22

You can’t take the whole car with you)) It makes no sense to take Ammorty with you. It is enough to look after an analogue from what is produced for Soviet cars. And this is guaranteed to be found in any far Russian.

m
motorpics 19.02.22

Well, I still have mine alive, I will carry them as spares just in case)))). I just want to try something normal, and, as I said, a little more softness. I really hope I get it)

Synthraven 19.02.22

On Monday, I'll ask him about the touchdog experience. We'll see there. During the Altai trip, I died 2 front ammo. He's all alive. True, my ammo cost 600 rubles each)))

m
motorpics 19.02.22

And thank you for your comment. At first I also watched Dobinson, then I read similar reviews. And somehow I got sick) Ketai some)

S
Synthraven 19.02.22

He himself has not yet had a case, because more budget tuning is in abundance. But soon I'll probably try on a touchdog. I have a friend. He rides on an expeditionary 33MPS. During the season, he killed a tuning Dobinson, put a touch dog. Altai, Kolmykia-touchdog is alive, a friend is happy))

Tryndets. as it turned out. I was deceived, it turns out "we have everything in stock, except for the front shock absorbers." Russian business. Kapets.(

And what are the dampers?
Are they ringing? So you can’t hear when something falls off somewhere))

I now have springs from TafDog, by the way, I took it from the link above. Haven't sagged in six months. Progressive winding has both pros and cons. In terms of handling, it’s ideal: comfort has not been affected and the carrying capacity has increased, but the bars, where they are often wound, ring each other on an empty car (you can hear only on the comb km40 / 60hours, with open windows).

m
motorpics 19.02.22

Well, there is a lot of controversy about progressive winding. I am neutral towards her. I don't care) I also wanted foamcells, but we don't have them in stock, and many complain that they are hard.

E
English 19.02.22

Amorth while relatives feel normal, as they flow out, I will change to fomsely.
Ringing (knocking coils) all springs with progressive (variable) winding. Then decide for yourself: either on the furious with the usual winding, or jingle but with comfort.

E
English 19.02.22

All shock absorbers of this type are rigid in order to cope with the increased sprung mass in the form of large toothed wheels.
It seems to me that OME, ToughDog, TGM or Irons have no significant difference, Australians and x ... with them ...
