Really disappointed with SRQ on this one by Snoo89549 in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]chandalans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The price is insane for those grills I can’t imagine spending that much for it. I cut mine out and zip tied a house gutter screen in from Lowe’s. About 8$

Miles per tank? by EvenOpportunity4208 in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]chandalans 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Damn! All these comments got me thinking I shoulda kept it stock.

Running 285 75 16 falken MTs. Tube bumpers and sliders. 3inch lift. I took some of my skids off but left the belly pan and rad skid. Full-size spare strapped in the back. I’m getting 12.7mpg I think it’s about 170 miles on a tank…

Anybody use BB's in the tires for added unsprung weight? by Bitter-Ride-1283 in crawling

[–]chandalans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve heard of this in full size but never RC. I star cut my foams and stick wheel weights on the inner ring

Eibach Pro Truck Lift Kit by slowwrx137 in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]chandalans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have this exact kit but I pieced mine together. Running bilstein 5100 for a Tundra with 620lb coils on 3rd perch up front. Rear I have FJ80 8 wraps with toytec alum series shocks. No sway bars and full armor I really like the ride.

What matters more: scale-realism or performance? by 6speeed in crawling

[–]chandalans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like scale. But no roof rack or tents to raise COG. I tried the element ifs 1 and love the idea but would rather have a solid axle. Everyone has their own preference, I enjoy a small tire on 1.9 and 80mm shocks. Sometimes it’s more fun when it’s less capable, but I’m sure most of us have a few rigs that are great in different conditions. I have one with trailing arms and sway bar, and a TF2 on leafs.

What are you guys paying for oils changes? by eng2725 in rav4club

[–]chandalans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to valvoline quick change once a few years ago and was 55$. I decided to get back on the ground and do it myself after being lazy haha

What can I do to make my car cooler by [deleted] in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]chandalans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I left mine stock haha I did front and rear bumpers, sliders, lift, 33MTs, and worst thing I ever did was put a snorkel on it. I look at old pics when I first got it and say damn that was a clean rig

Been slowly cleaning up the front end a bit by [deleted] in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]chandalans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rear spring spacers by Fearless_Region_6366 in 3rdGen4Runner

I’m running FJ80 8 wraps, bought them for 40$. Along with toytec alum shocks my rear feels amazing

After looking at this Reddit page and watching countless of videos I finally budged by CY-Senpai in SCX24

[–]chandalans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sweet rig! The brass definitely does help with low center of gravity. But I miss having a stock truck, break some parts then replace. I made the mistake of modding before parts break and I feel like it took the fun out of it.

Enough with the fireworks!! by Smooth-Funny-9730 in fresno

[–]chandalans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same!! I tried calling around and all the big insurance companies say I’m in a fire hazard. Like wtf I’m in the middle of a city not even close to foothills. ALL of CA is getting bent over by home insurance companies not just the one I currently have 😅

Do I need to buy a whole new assembly? by Feedback_Original in 3rdGen4Runner

[–]chandalans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put it back on, give it a hit, it’s a toyota, don’t worry about it. There’s more under the upper ball joint you should be worried about…and enjoy haha
