throw some 60 series springs under there, they might push your shackle angle out there close to where you want them, and flex better too

Yes, those FJ Cruiser Steel wheels have a 4.5" Backspace, thats the reason for the huge spacers..

Im Running FJ60 Rear Packs.. Front is Flipped Fj40 springs. Im Happy with how it flexes, Id just like it to ride a bit smoother..

Those Fox 2.0 Shocks are looking like they will do the trick..

yeah i meant in the front, they might actually push your shackle angle out too far though.....did you ever get your rear driveshaft issues resolved?

skid plate

Isotel,

How is the skid plate holding up? I thought that was a interesting idea. Is it still working out like you thought it would?

Thanks,

Andy

Skid Plate is Trashed. Use 1/4" on the bottom of yours! I do like the design, but its dented up to the point that it hits the transmission now! Bustanut was right

Working on a Bumper and some other little things before moab.. Picked up an 8274..

Thanks! I am not sure exactly how it's going to work itself out on my project. I picked up a stick of 1.5"x.120 this afternoon. I'll play with that to see if I can snake it across the bottom. I am hoping I can keep the spans down and stay with the 3/16".

Do you have an opinion on using UMVH as a skin for the skid plate or has that trend proved to be less than effective?

Thanks Andy

Not worth the effort for vehicles as heavy as ours
