erinw.rrc Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 After we finished the exhaust today, we started on the next one... Only had time to change the front brake pads because we 1. lost daylight and 2. we're tired. Rotors turned out to be in good condition, so thank goodness we don't have to do those too. Next weekend task... begin the front suspension. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/08/24/a77c74a8ce651cfb7adf4db04ab2b129.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/08/24/25610d35e86f8b7b52dfc993e15b5f3a.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/08/24/e9035957349253be6cd588566767283f.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/08/24/f91438007807a915edcdc7df4ac095d2.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/08/24/5243b49a1c0902a4845864b4942a21c5.jpg Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AA Journey Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Hi, You guys are in a row giving the Red rover some TLC. At this pace it will be back in the road very soon . :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pedram Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Man.... When I hit rocks on my exhaust I just keep driving. You two just dump money into yours. Why not drop a 4.6 in it next? Exo-cage and full body armor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFuller Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 It's fun getting to know the ins and outs isn't it? Well at least I think it is. Well done and keep the updates coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFuller Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Do you get that feeling of satisfaction when you take something from not working properly to working? That's what I like and what keeps me coming back again and again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DHappel Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 So what's RR's ETA for getting back on the road? We can't have you guys missing out on the next MORG or worse yet the Annual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't have you guys missing out on the next MORG or worse yet the Annual. Not sure... the rear coils for the suspension are on back order for at least three weeks, maybe longer. So we are thinking of just finishing the brake pads and call it done for now I guess. I'm pretty disappointed about that because it's not fun to drive off road right now with the suspension as it is. But if we don't get the coils before the annual, than I guess we'll just have to take it anyway.::evil:: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erinw.rrc Posted August 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 What are the OME spring #'s ?? I will find them if AB can'tWe went with the Terrafirma TF023V - we've tried at least 3 places in the USA and all sold out and I think Jared called a few other places and no luck. They are all out of stock. We have both the shocks and coils for the front and we have the shocks for the rear. We just need the rear coils. Here are the places we checked - our back order is with AB.Atlantic BritishMiami BritishBritish 4x4 Outfitter in Texas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco2Guy Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Justin was probably the first person to sell out of TF products. I'd email him directly to check. justin@lucky8llc.com Have you considered a set of OME or RTE springs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AA Journey Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Have you checked with Rovers North? They have a big selection of Terrafirma products. I have bought all my suspension components from them. I see the part you are looking for there: http://www.roversnorth.com/Products.aspx?&SearchVal=TF023V&Item=&Cat=__ALLCATS__&Manu=__ALLCATS__&Br=__ALLCATS__&Model=&Others=&Price1=&Price2=&SortBy=PRICE_A&key=advsearch Terrafirma products: http://www.roversnorth.com/Manufacturers/130 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Solis Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Do you guys just need coils to make it work? I replaced my dad's and still have the ones that came with it (and now that I have typed all this realize that you probably still have yours too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
