i hate it when ever i leave work there is one road with a terrible surface and i see it coming and try not to let it happen so now i just clutch it/change gears over it or take it off throttle, this is a section of the road not the entire road fyi 8)

You just answered your own comment there, your aristo (read barge) is so bloody heavy it NEEDS stiff suspension to eliminate all the commodore like bodyroll.

As for the lurching, what sort of clutch do you have? How much play do you have with your release point etc? Might just want to give it a few move revs before you engage the clutch. Your suspension doesn't have anything to do with how you're using the clutch :P

Actually, standard suspension is quite soft, i have Tanabe Sustec coilovers in there, they are stiff, the only reason why they roll so much from the factory is the standard(on some) Air Suspension cant control roll too well around corners, the other standard(coil type suspension) cant control it because its not stiff enough, aristos arent supposed to go around corners like they are on rails, they are a luxury car!! just so happens to have either a 1uz-fe mated to a 4wd system, or a 2jz!!

hehe yeah, I neglected to mention they were actually a luxury car in japan :happy: Theres a dude rollin one with custom plates (can't think what they were at the moment) running about 500hp. Youngish guy, managed 420rwhp at a toyota dyno day last year down at In Tune Performance. 2jz's are hax...

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
