First pictures of new suspensions — logbook Toyota FJ Cruiser 2008
There is no time for a normal coverage of this event yet, but people are already asking, so I post what I have. Phone photos, the quality is appropriate.
Feels like heaven and earth right away. The behavior of the car has changed dramatically for the better. The car has become higher, but stands on the road like a glove. No rolls, no swings. Pits and bumps swallows without noticing and without losing course. It still needs to be polished, but even in this state it's just great. Gone pecks during braking and blockages during acceleration. After 40 km / h there are simply no speed bumps.
Mileage: 40�900 km
By the way, the brake discs are almost new - or rather, I put them in the spring - they were golden in color, but one summer on the spit (I ride a kite) and that's it - zarjavelli :)
nice!
I recommend buying a can of paint for the muffler … if you smell the brake discs and sprinkle with silver, it will be better.
by 7.5 cm, but in the spring the rubber will be 2.5 cm higher - as a result, according to the project it will be 10 cm more
Okay, but I want to lower the front a little - now I measure the height of the buttocks when loading and will lower accordingly.
I put www.allprooffroad.com from here, I do
n't have time to ride properly yet, but I'm waiting for the new year :)
jet thrust in the sense of a stabilizer? there were linings in the kit - I put everything - nothing hurts. First impressions — another car. See review next
Oooooh! well everything! welcome to the club lifted VJ! ) ) ) Congratulations! installed new hardware! and shock absorbers! well finally! ) in short, congratulations, how you set everything up, write a review with measurements, etc. ...
if it’s not difficult, throw a link to what you set.
And another question, jumped on it already? )) I jump on the beach every weekend ) ) ) the car can fly )
yes, yet, does the reactive one not hurt? it would be necessary to move ... there are two gaskets placed.
Well, in the next post I wrote something like, Work 15tr, and the suspension is dofig, but for this type it’s quite inexpensive
Strongly! How does it feel to drive? And what is the price of the issue with the work?
Karabaras
No, good, but it's just, how to say, forever and the costs will not be small. Therefore, it is important to decide on the machine initially. Need to be stronger
Can I chime in too? Also plans for expeditionary. I will most likely build it myself. Is it worth it to make it out of duralumin? Or not steamed, and cook from stainless steel? The direction is the same, baja-light.
It's great for you that the mountains are within easy reach and the sea too. And here we have mountains Ural 1400 km, south 1600 km. the northern sea is 1200-1400 km, the Baltic 1400. All pancake is equally far :(
Okay, I'll whistle :) I was already there like 3 years ago, though in the summer. Mountains are awesome. There now, probably in winter, like in a European ski resort?
I've been riding since I was 12. Very cool topic. You will suddenly whistle to the red meadow too
Cool, I'm still going to ride a snowboard, maybe this winter I can do it. Surely a wild pleasure ...
AHTOHSTI
And I was in the Urals, there is still a desire to ride there, I looked at the photos, it’s so beautiful, quiet and calm
Yes. There is a chance to stay. I work with boards and skis all the time
But it seems to me that one should not meddle in such places alone? You need to drive at least 2 cars, otherwise you will get up somewhere in the forest and kick - for a month :)

This is one pass. I was there. They can arrest for it :) that is, there is no need for a jeep at all. The best is a motorcycle, then a cab, and then everything else
On a freelander rover, one person managed to move out somewhere. www.drive2.ru/cars/landro…/288230376152319610/#post
Yes, I drove there. Only there are no stones. There is asphalt everywhere where you can, and where you can’t, you can’t. Simply magical country
Ah, I don't have kids yet :) But we are already thinking :) I want to go to Norway all the time, they say it's great to ride through their expanses and rocky mountains.
I know many of our places. Haven't traveled yet. There is no time or opportunity. Daughter is still small
I think next year I will ride to the South, ride the mountains and the beaches, maybe we will see each other, I would very much like to look at the picturesque places. And you don't ride it abroad?
Yes, it is necessary to raise it, it is painfully low for me. And I think they don’t favor because we live in Russia, and usually Japanese cars are closer to people. I watched a lot of videos from America, they themselves normally favor their cars. And I even saw prepared Chevrolet trails crawling - not bad. Of course, I also saw FJ, they are generally doing a hell of a thing - but they were very seriously prepared. But I don’t need to go to battle, you’re complaining about buying a 2002 Dodge Durango from me now, so we want to prepare both cars, but it’s easy to drive around the world ... By the way, my suspension is the same as yours (layout) only the tie rod comes from the other side. And so, for 3 years of operation, the Chevrolet has shown itself to be a reliable car, there has not been a single day without it.
Well, for some reason they just don’t favor the Americans in battle. But everything can be done. Gotta get it up anyway
I'm already used to the costs :) In Opel, I have already invested a lot of money. And the Chevrolet, I like it externally + frame, behind the bridge, razdatka with a lowering and a demultiplier, well, I’ll put a yulokirovka on the front. I will also strengthen the suspension, some of the details are already on the way. The engine is good 273 horses, but in the future we are thinking of putting a compressor. It is reliable in itself, only the stabilizer struts are weak, but I have them already different. Or maybe I missed something important? I must say right away that I will not build a catlet :) It’s just that the elevator is not very big, the wheels are bigger with good rubber, the suspension is different, the winch is hidden.
No, good, but it's just, how to say, forever and the costs will not be small. Therefore, it is important to decide on the machine initially. Need to be stronger
Understand you. Otherwise, I don’t understand much about this yet, I’m just starting to build an expeditionary
Here it is just the opposite. Very light, paddles well. No noise, etc. Stt bet on Dakar, she is very cool, but like everywhere there are disadvantages
it is with a 3-ply cord - heavy and howls loudly. Asphalt will be tough. I advise you to put a / t some to start
It sucks that it's noisy :) I'm thinking of putting one like this. That is, it is hard on asphalt? And if I have made a wild Shumka, will it not save?
I don’t have such a system :( In this regard, they didn’t think of something. But I really need it in front, I have suffered so many times already :) Do you know such a Cooper Discoverer STT tire?
yes - a great topic, but I didn’t put it on myself, because a-track (this is this electronic blocking) works very cool and there’s not much point
I have the same as you have only the rear and center axle. But I'm thinking of putting a pneumatic block in front of the ARB. Do you know this?
comfort rests on several whales - small unsprung masses and suspension work.
If the bridges are in front and behind, then in principle you can forget about comfort, well, or there is a short-travel suspension, then too.
Pneuma in principle is a great idea, but it does not work everywhere.
I don’t have a block in front, but there is an off-road stabilization mode, when it blocks with brakes, it works fine, especially in the back and in the middle there is a hard block
This is what I asked, otherwise you reproach me with advice - like it’s comfortable on the road, etc. Although I remember that all the vdors that I have seen are all on shock absorbers, I have not yet met on pillows. Do you have a lock on the front?
no - I don’t see any point, and there are no options. There, breakable levers are needed, ammo will not work normally, well, and the main thing is that I don’t see the point again.
